Floor Lamps

Height matters! Try adding a floor lamp the rooms in your home. Alongside your table lamps, having something taller will bring variation to the space. Lighting all at one level can result in a ‘flat’ feeling, so use a simple stem with a dramatic bespoke shade which differs to your table lamps.
Make a statement - choose a really striking base AND a really beautiful shade. Maybe you have a window where you have an occasional chair. Use a floor lamp beside that, leaving the table free for a plant, ornament …….and your cuppa. Create the ambience you desire.

When looking into floor lamp lighting and doing your research to buy a standard lamp there are a number of things to consider – for example when choosing an item for the living room what is the function of this standing floor lamp? Is it to be a tall reading lamp or an uplighter standing lamp? What is your price range? What mood are you wishing to create? What décor is currently in the room?

These perform very different functions the uplighter is generally a long floor lamp with a very bright LED lamp in the bowl at the top that will illuminate the room with light bouncing off the ceiling, bringing light to a dark corner and generally upping the light lumens in the room.

Conversely if you choose a tall reading light it will perform a different function it will probably be a floor spot lamp like our black metal twin floor lamp. This large floor standing lamp has two adjustable heads and will throw pools of light where you aim them and will not give as much light but create interesting areas of light.

If you like that look then a similar but smaller pedestal lamp to choose could be our free standing black and antique copper task floor lamp with its angled adjustable head to read by.
