A floor lamp can do something a ceiling light and table lamp can't quite manage on their own: bring a warm pool of light into a corner without taking up a side table or needing another fitting. It can sit beside a sofa, stand behind an armchair or add light to an otherwise empty corner, while also becoming part of the room's furniture.
Our collection ranges from arc lamps that sweep over a sofa to classic brass and marble designs, natural and turned wood lamps with a softer Scandinavian feel, and sculptural pieces designed to become a focal point. There are also designs with adjustable LED reading lights when you need more focused light for reading or working.
Choosing the Right Shape
Where a floor lamp works best often comes down to its shape. Arc lamps are designed to stand beside or behind a sofa and sweep the light out over the seating or coffee table, making them particularly useful when you don't want another side table taking up floor space.
Dome-topped brass and marble lamps have a more classic, formal feel and work well beside an armchair, in a hallway corner or in a traditional living room. Turned and carved wood lamps, particularly the lighter Scandinavian-inspired designs, are a natural fit for relaxed bedrooms, reading corners and softer interiors.
Light for Reading and Relaxing
A floor lamp can provide more than ambient light. Several designs in the collection feature adjustable LED reading lights, giving you a more focused beam when you're reading in an armchair or working at a desk without needing a separate task lamp.
For a living room, consider how the lamp will work alongside your existing lighting. A floor lamp in a darker corner can balance the light from ceiling and table lamps, creating a more comfortable atmosphere in the evening.
A Lamp That Becomes Part of the Room
Floor lamps take up more visual space than a table lamp, so their shape and proportions can have a real impact. A simple wooden or metal design can sit quietly alongside the furniture, while an unusual sculptural lamp can become a feature in its own right.
Think about the height of the lamp, where the light will fall and how much space you have around it. The best position is often a corner that needs more light but has enough room for the lamp to stand comfortably without getting in the way.
