Article Overview: Floor lamps are more than what they seem to the human eye. This article will explain to you the heart and soul of a floor lamp, and the big difference it makes to your home living.

What to Look for in a Floor Lamp

The kind of lighting you use in your home makes all the difference in the interior décor of your home. Lighting fixtures are items that can create a positive or negative effect to a home hence has to be chosen very wisely and prudently. With countless choices from pendant lights to chandeliers, you can get your pick that accommodates your taste. While great lighting will enhance and further accentuate the aesthetic appeal of a given room, a poorly mounted lighting fixture or an ill-placed floor lamp will without a shadow of a doubt devastate the interior décor and design.

With that said, because changing a lighting fixture every time you want to give your home a makeover is next to impossible, well at least for many people, you should consider investing in versatile floor lamps. They will complement any new design introduced in the scene while at the same time create a whole new and distinctive ambience in your home.

Floor lamps come in all imaginable sizes, shapes, and designs today, meaning there is one out there in the market for every décor and design. Getting that perfect floor lamp will be determined by your personal tastes and preferences as well as the existing furniture and accessories in the given room.

Mostly used in a corner of a room, floor lamps are ideal for illuminating various parts of a home from the hallway, to entrance ways, dining room, to living rooms. Further, thanks to their charming designs and styles, floor lamps will not only light the space but will also be an attractive element of focus in their own right.

With that said the first and most important consideration to make when buying floor lamps is how it complements and match the style of the room intended for use. For example, you cannot use a Victorian style floor lamp in a home that features a modern décor theme?

Secondly, your floor lamps have to be of the greatest quality ever, and should be durable enough to last for as long as possible, reason enough to check for robustness before investing your hard earned cash. Remember these lamps are placed on the floor hence can be subjected to accidental kicks; they have to withstand all that and remain functional.

How do you determine market size? - I'm in need of some advice here... I'm trying to determine the size of my local market. In this case it's the market for 'area rug' sales. Can someone tell me if I am on target with this? I get a little confused when there are so many zeros... Floor covering industry is at 25 b per year Area Rugs are at about 15% of this figure This equals about 3.75 b (I think) US population is at approx 301 m My region has a pop of 888,000 Is it as simple as dividing 888k into 301m ?? If so the projected sales will be approx $2.95 m Does this sound accurate enough for a business plan? Or can I calculate this another way?
Re: Private Equity Needed - [color=#BF0000:ub1ehsj4]Evan, I am currently looking for between $250k-$500k which 90% off those funds will be used to acquire the additional inventory I need for resale. The remaining 10% will be used to cover the first year lease on the new warehouse, which will house the inventory. I plan on having between 20-30 cars depending on the size of the warehouse, and the amount of cash I have to purchase the inventory. I have changed my business model to where I am carrying more average priced luxury cars Instead of the 80-100K variety that I had in the past. My previous partner insisted that we carry the higher priced cars instead of listening to me and adapting to new market conditions. I can buy 25-40K cars and turn them much faster, and for as much money, if not more than I can the higher priced luxury cars that sit around and cost interest waiting to sell. My average wholesale profit is $ 1500-1800 and my retail profit is over $3000.00. I have tried over and over again to get Bank financing, which I was finally able to do in 2007 but when the economy tanked in 2008, the Banks closed my credit lines and that was the end of my Bank financing. I did here of an SBA 7A program recently that was directed toward Auto Dealers and Dealer Floor plans, but I have been unable to find any Banks that are participating in the program, as a matter of fact, very few Bank have even heard of the program. I thank you for your interest in my Business and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Kyle Lowe H&L Motorcars[/color:ub1ehsj4]
