Can a floor lamp light a room?
A floor lamp will brighten up any space and will provide ambient lighting. If the only source of light is a lamp, you’ll want to make sure it’s evenly spread so every part of the room will receive light when you need it to.
Most rooms also have ceiling lights to be able to set the mood the way you like. Make sure to see our ceiling light shades, next.
Should standing lights point up or down?
Whether a floor light should point up or down depends on the ambience you want to create. Have a dinner party with loved ones? Point the light upwards to create the illusion of a bigger space. Want something intimate and comfy for a movie night in? Downlighting your standing lamp will create the perfect, cosy atmosphere.
What does a modern floor lamp look like?
Modern floor lamps often include exude style and functionality with sturdy construction, stable bases, and quality materials. Many feature slim silhouettes and dainty, single legged stands for a minimalist look. If you want a standing lamp that makes a statement, our options with tripod legs will be sure to give you what you’re after. See our black and chrome options for a truly contemporary feel.
Where should I place a floor lamp in my room?
Many choose to place floor lamps in the corner of the room with the light facing upwards. This diffuses the light across the ceiling, providing calm, ambient lighting that gets you in the mood to unwind. However, if you’d like your standing lamp to also be functional, like for reading or working, place the lamp beside your chair or sofa, with the light angled to reduce glare and shadows. The same could be said for bedrooms - floor lamps can be placed near dressers or seating areas add warmth and functionality, but also over the bed as a reading light.
