Now the clocks have gone back, and the nights are truly drawing in, we could all do with a little more light in our homes. And floor lamps present a convenient and versatile option. But floor lamps can be so much more than a practical lighting solution. Choose well, and your lamps will really add to the aesthetics of your home. So, what are the different floor lamp styles?
Floor Lamp Choices for Your Home
Reading lamps
Reading lamps are probably the most popular floor lamp around. Providing bright, directable light, they are ideal for concentration tasks. And they come in a variety of styles, and at a range of price points. If you like a minimalist aesthetic, the Troy black floor lamp is hugely effective and eminently affordable, while taking up a tiny footprint. Making it the perfect choice for smaller rooms, or for use behind furniture. While, if your tastes are a little bit bolder, the Endon Caspa floor lamp shines just as brightly as any bulb!
Mother and child lamps
If you’re looking to combine ambient and task lighting, then mother and child lamps are the perfect all-rounder. Bringing together an uplighter with an adjustable reading lamp. There is not much room for variety or flair in this style of lamp. But if you select a light like the Endon Monaco lamp, you can still achieve a pleasingly decorative effect.
Uplighters
Uplighter floor lamps are perhaps the ultimate choice for creating ambience in a room. And they give you the most diverse style selection. If your bent is towards the classic, then the Tiffany-inspired Josette glass uplighter from Interiors 1900 will make a wonderful addition to any living room, dining room, or snug. If you have more contemporary tastes, then the Astro Cut nickel floor stand truly shows that size isn’t everything. While designed for floor standing, its diminutive size makes it suitable for use as a table tamp too. And it is guaranteed to always make a big impression.
Tripod and decorative floor lamps
Tripod floor lamps are as much about style and statement as they are about substance. They are there to be admired. And they will light up any room, coming in a whole variety of styles. From the simplicity of the copper chrome Twist, to the theatre of the black and gold leaf Studio Lamp. Or, if you want a decorative lamp, but don’t have the floor space to accommodate a tripod lamp, there are still plenty of other choices. Whether you fancy your own portable chandelier, or a floral-inspired standard lamp.
The lighting you choose can make or break a room. Too bright or too stark, and you simply won’t use it. Too dim, and it becomes impractical. With a well-chosen floor lamp, you can improve both the functionality and the feel of any home space. And you can do this easily without breaking the bank. We know that budgets are tight this winter.
