I had a similar problem with a set of floor lamps in my dining room. I scavenged the parts from other lamps when they first needed replacement. When the dimmers went out I converted them to fluorescent and have been happy with the results. When I scavenged I searched thrift shops and found the parts. Later I purchased new florescent floor lamps and scavenged their parts. In my area Lamps Plus can usually get parts. My floor lamps, though purchased at Lamps Plus, were made in Italy, and the parts were ridiculously expensive, so I converted them. 500w is a lot, but if possible check the lumens the bulbs produce. The lumens rating may not be as high as 500w would indicate. Maybe a smaller wattage may produce more lumens if there is a choice of bulb brands. It sounds as though you like bright indirect light. In my living room I have one main floorlamp and 3 lights that come on when the main wall switch is turned on. All of them are on independent dimmers. The "3 lights" are cheap florescent floor lamps that have had their poles removed, so they are just the upfacing light shade attached to a base. These sit on top of an entertainment unit and on a bookcase and aren't very noticeable, design wise, even when turned on. The room can be very very bright or dimmed for tv. They are all florescent so the total wattage in the room is low, I think less than 150w total. The lighting is also very even since there are 4 lights. Also, for comparison, my living room ceiling is 22 feet at the highest point. Hope that helps. -Hal

Working on this lobby for a theater that we are designing. The client loves the design, now I need to figure out how to build it. Can anyone recommend a source for the large faux concrete tiles (or other material) shown on the right wall. Also need to find a company who can create the custom design on the floor tiles. Much Appreciated. Glen

We need a floor lamp of the corner by the moon faces and lamp for corner table by the front door. Should they match? Something that doesn’t interfere with the faces. Replacing the “blurry tree” picture too, not sure to what. I found one picture that we like but don’t want to decide until we have the room complete?

According to the designer’s Houzz page showing this project, the floor tile is ”12-by-12-inch honed marble tiles in white and gray. Doing it on a diagonal like that also enlarges the space visually.” flooring: honed checkerboard marble in Snow White and Tundra Grey, 12 by 12 inches, Altura Stone & Tile https://www.houzz.com/magazine/kitchen-of-the-week-classic-style-in-wood-wallpaper-and-marble-stsetivw-vs~168126510?vm=thumbs
