Floor Lamps for Every Room

Floor lamps are a perfect accessory for styling and brightening any space, both a practical form of lighting and an aesthetic addition to your room. Our range of standing lamps covers a range of colours, styles and materials to suit all home décor, as well as being available to suit every budget.

Where is the best place for Standing Lamps?

Standing lamps can add levels and height to your home decor and therefore can look well placed alongside other accessories of differing heights such as next to potted plants or baskets. Floor lamps look particularly well placed in the corners of rooms, allowing their height to fill the space and add both light and style.

Where should floor lamps be placed in rooms?

Living Room Floor Lamps

READ MORE

Living room floor lamps are best placed near seating areas such as behind sofas. This lightens the seating spaces and makes it easier for reading, eating and watching television. Angling floor lamps away from the TV will reduce the glare of the light on the screen.

Kitchens and Family Rooms

Floor lamps in kitchens and family rooms should be placed around dining areas to ensuring the lighting is at the right level for eating, however should be placed far enough back to avoid shining in people’s eyes.

Bedrooms

For bedroom floor lamps, the best placement is in the corner of a room to spread the light across the sleeping area to create a gentle ambience for relaxing and reading.

How do I choose the right lamp for my room?

Choosing the right freestanding lamp for your room is based on the size and space you’re working with. Smaller rooms or rooms with low ceilings will require smaller or shorter floor lamps, where rooms with vaulted ceilings can tolerate much taller or more dramatic floor lamp designs. Arched floor lamps are best for wide rooms with a lot of free space, where upright styles are better for more compact spaces.

Do floor lamps use a lot of electricity?

Floor lamps do not use more electricity than other types of lighting and can be more efficient in their electricity usage than ceiling lights due to be powered by lower wattage plugs.

Should floor lamps point up or down?

The direction a floor lamp points will be dependent on the design of the lamp. Arched or curved floor lamp designs will generally direct the light downwards which can create a lower and more direct light. Designs where the bulb points upwards will generally have a broader reach for the light.

Do floor lamps light up a room?

How much light is achieved from a freestanding lamp will be dependent on:

  • Wattage of the bulb
  • Direction the bulb points in
  • The style and material of the shade
  • Placement of the lamp in the room

All these factors will dictate how much a floor lamp is capable of lighting an entire room.

We continually add to our range to ensure we are constantly offering an up to date and on-trend range of floor lamps for you to explore.
