Freestanding floor lamps are ideal for reading nooks, ambient lighting, and adding style.

Crafted from durable metal and glass components, these statement standing lamps showcase our signature finishes like brass, bronze, and bold matt black.

What types of floor lamps are available?

Floor lamps are a beautiful way to add ambient lighting or style to your space. Whether you’re drawn to the unique edge of industrial chic or the warm allure of rustic aesthetics, our floor lamps are available in various finishes, such as wood, brass, bronze, and pewter.

Traditional floor lamps

These typically feature a simple design: a lampshade on top of a tall stand. They work well in traditional and vintage-style interiors.

Tripod floor lamps

These floor lamps are supported by three legs in a tripod style, offering a modern, industrial, or minimalist look while providing stable lighting.

Modern & Industrial floor lamps

These lamps boast a raw, unfinished aesthetic - exposed metal and simple designs - which are great for creating unique and edgy interiors.

How do I choose the right floor lamp for my space?

Floor lamps are a versatile way to illuminate your space and add to a room's aesthetic. A perfectly chosen floor lamp will help you transform your room into a warm and inviting space. Whether you’re looking to create a cosy reading nook with focused lighting or to envelope a room in ambient lighting, a standing lamp effortlessly blends form and function in sleek, modern designs with a warm, diffused glow.

Here are some key considerations when choosing a floor lamp:

Consider the floor lamp's height and how it will work in your space. Choosing the right size for your
space is essential.
Strategic placement will help to eliminate shadows and highlight special features in a room.
Ensuring you balance your floor lamp with other light sources in the room will help maintain ambient lighting.
Consider the purpose of the floor lamp in your room - is its primary role to be a statement piece, provide task lighting or provide ambient lighting in harmony with other light sources?

Does floor lamp have to be in a corner?

No, a floor lamp does not have to be confined to the corner of a room. A well-positioned floor lamp can highlight room features and create immersive pockets of warmth and light. Consider setting a floor lamp next to your sofa to enhance lighting and highlight design elements. Tall lamps placed strategically in corners draw the eye upward and are a great way to add depth to compact spaces.

Where should you place a floor lamp in a room?

Strategic placement of floor lamps can enhance your interior décor while offering practical illumination. The placement of a floor lamp should be based on your room’s design and the type of light you need – whether that is task, ambient or accent lighting. Floor lamps are easy to experiment with as they are portable, and you can try multiple positions to discover what suits your room the best. Here are some ideas:

Living Room: Floor lamps are ideal for lighting niche areas like reading nooks or dark corners. Modern floor lamps are an excellent way to highlight art and
architectural features in a room. Harmonising your floor lamps with ceiling and wall lights will ensure a cohesive and inviting ambience.
Bedroom: The bedroom is a relaxing place, so your lighting should reflect this. In this serene setting, a floor lamp can provide focused task lighting perfect
for late-night reading or an ambient glow for unwinding at the end of a day. Wooden floor lamps with fabric shades offer a warm, diffused glow that enhances a bedroom's comfort and cosy aesthetic, while industrial floor lamps can add edge to your décor.
Kitchen: A floor lamp in the kitchen can provide an unexpected yet complementary element of design and lighting. Tall lamps with fabric shades create a soft, ambient glow that complements task lighting commonly found in the kitchen. Materials like metal and wood ensure durability and aesthetic versatility.
Dining Room: Floor lamps can transform dining rooms into inviting venues for leisurely dinners or vibrant social gatherings. Integrating a floor lamp with complementary materials like wood or brushed metal can create a harmonious balance for rooms with distinct design styles, such as modern or industrial themes.
Hallway: Floor lamps can also add unique style and light to dark or narrow hallways. Placing floor lamps near a mirror can help distribute light more effectively and provide visual interest to simple spaces.

Try lampscaping to layer your light sources and achieve balance, depth, and ambience in your rooms.

How tall should a floor lamp be?

The ideal height of a floor lamp will depend on its purpose and the room it is in; however, floor lamps generally stand around 5 to 6 feet tall. In smaller rooms, shorter floor lamps between 4.5 and 5 feet tall are more proportional. If your floor lamp is positioned next to a sofa or chair, lamp shades should sit at least 4.5 feet from the floor to avoid glare when seated.

What size lamp shade should you put on a floor lamp?

Selecting the right size lamp shade for your floor lamp is essential in achieving the perfect balance of style and function. Follow these guidelines to ensure a proportional and balanced look:

Height: The lamp shade should be approximately two-thirds the height of the lamp base.
Width: The shade’s diameter should be roughly twice the lamp base’s width.
Match the lamp shade’s colour with your room décor to enhance ambient lighting and unify interior décor.

The importance of cable management for floor lamps

Proper cable management of floor lamps is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Effective cable management ensures that unsightly cables do not mar your interior design and that your room maintains a sleek, clean look. There are several ways to keep cables neat and prevent tripping hazards, including:

Use cable clips to secure cables along walls or behind furniture.
Conceal cords using cord covers or sleeves.
Position floor lamps strategically near plugs to avoid visible cables.
Use cable management boxes that fit neatly under furniture to hide excess cables.
