Different Types of Floor Lamps

With a sturdy base and a design that excels in durability, floor lamps act as a stand-in for general room lighting. They can also be used in addition other light sources to set the right ambiance. Here are the most common types of floor lamps you may find.

Standard Floor Lamp

A standard floor lamp features a solid base and a lampshade directly on the top of a pole that shines light downward. They come in many attractive designs and sizes to meet any room's needs.

• Functional, durable, and versatile design
• Complements other lighting in the room, from table lamps to chandeliers
• Illuminates the room at eye level

Torchiere Floor Lamp

Known for its inverted shade, a torchiere floor lamp has an upright shape with a lighting fixture that directs light upward.

• Elegant design to suits many interior decoration needs
• Helps small rooms feel larger as light reflects off the ceiling and walls
• Reduces eye glare with upward dispersion of light

Arc Floor Lamp

An arc floor lamp adds a modern design element to your space, with a curving arm that extends away from the base. The curved arm can extend several feet away.

• Sleek, statement-making design
• Can extend over sofas, tables, and other furniture
• Removes the need to center furniture below existing light fixtures

Tree Floor Lamp

Like its name, a tree floor lamp has multiple branches that extend in different directions each providing illumination with a bulb. It comes in a variety of sizes, numbers of arms ad bulbs, and designs.

Extra Features in Floor Lamps

Built-In Dimmers

Dimmer switches in floor lamps that allows you to control and adjust the brightness, from a soft glow to a strong light.

Tripod Base

A tripod base has three columns instead of one which adds more stability and a touch of character.

Swing Arm

A swing arm can be on the upper part of a lamp pole that allows the lamp to swing left or right as needed.

How To Find the Best Floor Lamp for Your Space

Size

Generally, floor lamps are 5–6 feet tall, though lamps with adjustable features can be customized. If you want a wider dispersion of light, you will want to opt for a taller floor lamp. If you prefer a more focused light, a shorter floor lamp style will be best. When a floor lamp is aligned to the scale of the room, it creates a cohesive and unified feel.

Style and Design

As for style, floor lamps come in a variety of different shapes, colors, and materials. Consider whether you want the floor lamp to easily blend into your already existing aesthetic or stand out as a striking design feature.

Placement

The most common placements of a floor lamp include next to a sectional, sofa, or accent chair; next to a console table in living or dining spaces; or in the corner of your bedroom next to a dresser. If your lamp needs to extend over the breakfast table, consider an arc lamp. Or, if you want it in a corner behind a reading chair, you may want to opt for a tree floor lamp for directional lighting.

Choosing Between Table Lamp and Floor Lamp

When you are deciding whether a floor lamp or table lamp will best benefit your space, decide how much light you will need. While both table and floor lamps can have adjustable necks, floor lamps provide dispersed light to a larger area. A table lamp is perfect for illuminating a focused area.

Some additional pros of floor lamps are that they are more durable in design than table lamps. They are also easier to fit into rooms since they don’t require side tables or consoles to act as bases.

For a cohesive and well-lit space, you may want to pair a floor with a table lamp.
