We are Tokoro Inc., offering a large selection of table lamps and floor lamps with enormous savings. Tokoro’s professional staff says the most practical lamp style around has newborn popularity. “A lot of floor lamps are coming back,” he says. “It makes it nice for a reading chair to have a floor lamp beside it.

Tokoro Inc, www.tokoroinc.com, named floor lamps the hottest lamp trend of the moment. “The right floor lamp provides a high quantity of decor energy and lighting power just where you need it,” the site says. “A rapid tip to keep in mind when shopping: the taller the lamp, the more room space you need around it, so look to shorter floor lamps for use next to tightly grouped reading chairs or sofas.”

The American Lighting Association (www.americanlightingassoc.com) says softer metals for lamp bases, such as brushed nickel, stainless steel, pewter and brushed copper, are clear winners over once-omnipresent shiny copper. .” Floor lamps are practical because they take up a square foot or less of floor space, but can add light and style to a large area.

Metal, shaped iron, and anything antique is in. If you choose an antique lamp, make sure to inspect the wiring, staff says. If you see a cloth-covered cord or any ragged or exposed wires, have it rewired. If you’re thinking of adding one of those tall, thin fluorescent torchieres to your decor, think twice.
