Modern floor lamps – Create cosy pools of light with stylish pieces
Each modern floor lamp serves a unique purpose. Some are ideal for reading, others illuminate entire rooms, and many are designed to create inviting, ambient lighting. There are also modern floor lamps that form beautiful pools of light, allowing you to arrange your space in a creative and dynamic way.
What types of modern floor lamps are available?
Modern floor lamps can be categorised into several styles:
Classic floor lamps
Classic floor lamps are designed to bring structure to a room while creating alluring pools of light. They typically consist of a base, a straight frame, and a lampshade. Some designs forgo the shade altogether, with the light bulbs placed directly within the frame to create a more unique look.
Arc lamps
Arc lamps feature a distinctive curved frame. The base is often positioned beneath a sofa, with the arched frame casting a soft, relaxing light over the area.
Uplighters
Uplighters are designed to direct light upwards toward the ceiling, allowing the light to be distributed evenly throughout the room. Many uplighters come with an adjustable arm, perfect for focused lighting such as reading.
Tripod lamps
Tripod lamps stand on three legs, offering a variety of lampshade options. For example, a fabric shade with a wooden frame complements the popular hygge style perfectly!
What light bulbs can I use in a modern floor lamp?
We recommend opting for modern LED technology, as it offers numerous benefits:
- Energy-efficient, saving up to 80-90% of energy compared to traditional bulbs
- Long lifespan of up to 50,000 hours
- Excellent heat management and durability
Tip: Many modern floor lamps come with built-in LEDs, but you can also retrofit lamps by replacing old bulbs with LEDs that fit.
Can you dim modern floor lamps?
Yes, many modern floor lamps come with dimming capabilities. This feature adds an extra layer of comfort to any room. If you're looking for a dimmable lamp, ensure that you filter for “Dimmer” or “Touch dimmer” in the product selection.
What are the best rooms for modern floor lamps?
Modern floor lamps complement most living spaces, including living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, studies, and children's rooms. However, as they take up floor space, it's best not to use them in smaller rooms or areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens. You can find floor lamps with the appropriate IP rating for such spaces, though these are less common.
What colours and materials do modern floor lamps come in?
Modern floor lamps are available in a wide array of colours and materials, so you can find the perfect match for your home. Whether you prefer simple, minimalist designs, rustic Scandinavian models with wooden legs, or bold statement pieces in vibrant colours, there’s something for every taste. Use the “Colour” and “Material” filters to find the ideal floor lamp for your home.
