There’s no denying that industrial floor lamps have a certain appeal. They’re impressive. They’re different. And they just look good. But it can be hard to imagine them fitting into your home. Will they work with your décor? Where can you put one without it looking anachronistic? The thing that many people don’t realise is that the beauty of industrial lighting is that it can fit in almost anywhere. You just have to choose a style you love.
How to Make Industrial Floor Lamps Work for You
Although the industrial aesthetic is characterised by an almost unfinished rough and readiness, with a nod to the structural elements of the relevant piece, today’s designers are making accommodations. With achromatic colourways and a minimalist approach. So, it’s now possible to gain the industrial vibe, without embracing the entire look. Giving shoppers a lot more to choose from.
Industrial floor lamps three ways
The minimalist
You can enjoy the industrial aesthetic without shouting about it. And that’s where floor lamps like the Maxwell come in. The simple design can fit within the most austere environments, but the industrial detail brings it to life. The blue and copper combination has a little more flare, but the grey is tremendously on-trend. Or, if you’re looking for something with a little more pizazz, try the satin nickel leaver arm floor lamp. The nickel will help it to blend into its surroundings, while carrying that strong, industrial air.
The statement maker
If you’re looking for an industrial style light that really draws the eye, it has to be the black tripod studio lamp with gold leaf shade. For starters, the tripod base is imposing. There’s no hiding in corners for this lamp – it’s there to be seen. Then, the bold, black shade with the gorgeous gold interior can’t help but catch the eye. And it’s a combination that works in a range of scenarios. Whether as a focal point in the paired back and contemporary interior. Or with the gold holding its own amidst bohemian chic. Liking the tripod but not the shade? Why not try the Endon Nautical for a self-assured alternative?
The all-rounder
With lamps like the matt black fluted glass floor light, you have something for everyone. The stand is undeniably industrial, while the shade has antique undertones. It could work as a gentle nod to the art deco. Or it could fit within the most contemporary monochrome styling. Sweet and simple, with a strong core, this is a light that could go almost anywhere.
Industrial floor lamps aren’t designed to fit in with a particular theme. Of course, if you love the steampunk style, industrial floor lamps will help to add to the flavour. But they’ll also work well in your average British sitting room. Somewhere that may frequently be covered in kids toys, or be dominated by a gaming system. Its their versatility that makes them so useful. And that is why we love industrial style floor lamps.
