Living Room Floor Lamps & Standing Lamps

What better way to light up your living room, lounge or open plan living space than adding a floor lamp to create warm pools of ambient light to compliment your ceiling lighting. 

With this many options it’s tough to know what sort of floor lamp is right for your living space. Is functionality at the top of your list, or are you looking for brilliant décor above all else? Have a peruse through our wise and eclectic range of floor lamps, great prices for great quality pieces. 

Living room floor lamps come in all sorts of shapes, styles, and designs. Arc lamps are a super popular modern style, with a long stand that curves at the top and a shade that can be pointed and adjusted in different directions. 

Tripod floor lamps create a bit more of a statement, with a three-legged base topped with a shade or bulb. If you’re working in particularly tight quarters you might want a floor lamp with hidden talents and added functionality, consider a shelf floor lamp. It has a shade at the top and a set of shelves underneath where you can stack books or keepsakes. 

The biggest influences are the size of the room you’re looking to lamp up, the size of the surrounding furniture and what the specific purpose of the lamp is going to be. Our living room floor lamps tend to sit somewhere in the realm of 150cm – 180cm tall. 

You want to be conscious of not picking a floor lamp that will tower over the other furniture in the room, it should stack nicely with other furnishings and décor. You don’t want the shade knocking around too close to the ceiling, either. That all said, you’re looking to get a floor lamp that’s tall enough to provide the level of lighting you need it too, otherwise it’s just sitting pretty!

What types of bulbs can’t be? Our living room floor lamps are compatible with loads of different types of bulbs, including LED bulbs, globe bulbs, and traditional GLS bulbs (depending on the style of lamp). LED bulbs are a great option because of their long-lasting ability and energy-efficient quality. They come in a range of vintage and modern designs, across all levels of brightness and temperature.

Absolutely they can!
Living room floor lamps can be used as the primary light source in a room, as long as you place them effectively and choose a style and brightness that makes sense in the space you’re working with. In a large living room, you may need multiple floor lamps to cover the space and provide enough lighting. A small living room may be fine with a living room floor lamp and a few other table lights placed strategically throughout the space.
