Never too bright, never too dull. If you put the thought into your lighting needs then you’ll never be caught out. The day goes through phases from light to dark and you go through phases from busy to utterly relaxed. The sun isn’t always going to be clued in on where you are in the day, so take it into your own hands by building up the ultimate layered lighting. Provide ambient, task or accent lighting where you need it and do so without having to use up all that precious surface space with table lamps!
Not to mention… um, stylish!
Bringing in a floor lamp is such an easy way to influence your living rooms aesthetic with an affirming or contrasting lamp style. Make a statement, any statement, even if it’s subtle cohesion.
You’ve got to keep your own needs in mind, whatever they are. A lot of our floor lamps are adjustable and directional because we know that you’re not always going to need the same thing. Bringing in that flexibility to direct light for whatever the task at hand; relaxing, reading, creating ambience or… stamp collecting? No judgement.
Floor lamps are a low commitment investment that’ll follow you wherever you go. Look at wall lights, beautiful and definitely serve their purpose but if you’re not ready to commit then you might have to leave them behind one day! Heartbreak! Lamps move with you.
The world really is your oyster when it comes to picking the right floor lamp for your living room.
You can lean traditional and classic with timeless designs of pleated or glass shades to bring in a more elegant touch to the floor lamp and to your living space. Look out for those intricate details and warm finishes.
Or, if you’re more of a modernist and like to keep things minimal then you can choose from the plenty of contemporary options with clean lines and sleek materials. Metallic finishes are a gateway to the ultra modern!
Oh, more of a bohemian looking for an eclectic edge? A maximalist approach to vibrant colours, patterns and textures in shades will give your space a sense of adventure and non-conformity. With a lot of freedom when picking your base!
Go for the bold, artistic and structural by finding a floor lamp with unique shapes, artistic elements and, wow, is it décor or lighting?! Oh, both.
If you’re after a more stripped back, urban feel then the industrial and rustic designs will probably feel the most like home. With raw materials, exposed bulbs and a little touch of vintage charm. Timeless, because it’s already stood the test of time.
Big decisions ahead!
We believe in streamlining through the stress of making what should be a very exciting decision, so we’ve put together a list of what you need to think about when picking a new staple for your lovely living room.
1. Size – This is all about considering the size of everything you’re already working with, and the specifics of what this floor lamp is supposed to do. You don’t want your floor lamp to block access to any existing furniture and you will probably want to avoid it being way too big or too small in comparison to anything else. Most importantly think about its purpose. Is it a task light? If so, what height do you need the light coming from to best serve that purpose?
2. Lampshade Options – This is where the fun really begins. Pull a colour scheme apart or tear it apart. Up to you, and we stand by you either way. You can pick from a whole load of materials, colours, patterns and sizes. Get creative.
3. Bulb Compatibility – In the interest of ease, we have this super handy bulb guide should you get confused about the sort of bulbs we offer and we make sure to specify what bulb each floor lamp requires in our product descriptions!
4. Adjustable Lighting – Do you need that freedom? Is your floor lamp going to be for an important function or is it more for design and ambience. If the former, you really won’t regret giving yourself that choice.
5. Materials and Construction – Unless you’re brand new here you know we don’t mess about with quality, we wouldn’t be ValueLights if we did. All of our floor lamps are made from high quality materials for durability, stability and, of course, style!
