Types of Floor Lamps

Arc Floor Lamps: Arc floor lamps feature curved arms that stretch up from the base and create an arc over the floor. These lamps provide great overhead lighting for seating areas as well as spot lighting for other areas such as end tables or desks. They come in a variety of styles, sizes, and finishes so you can find one that fits perfectly with your decor.

Swing Arm Floor Lamps: Also known as articulating floor lamps, swing arm floor lamps swing out from their base allowing for adjustable illumination. They are perfect for reading nooks, crafting areas, or office spaces where you need a stylish, but flexible lighting option.

Tree Floor Lamps: Tree floor lamps are great options if you need additional light in multiple directions simultaneously. This type of lamp features several adjustable heads, which allow you to direct light wherever it's needed most. They come in a range of styles from more traditional looks to more modern designs so you can easily find one that fits your taste.

Tripod Floor Lamps: A tripod floor lamp features three legs connected at the base of the lamp shade creating a sturdy base while simultaneously offering a unique design.

Globe Floor Lamps: A globe floor lamp is a contemporary floor lamp design that typically consists of a round glass shade encasing either an incandescent or LED light bulb.

What to Consider Before Buying a Floor Lamp

Before choosing a floor lamp for your home, consider features, size and finishes:

Features: Modern floor lamps come with all the bells and whistles to make your lamp not just stylish but practical. Before choosing a floor lamp, consider popular features like floor lamps with adjustable arms, dimmable floor lamps and floor lamps with footswitches.

Size: When it comes to modern floor lamps, size matters. You want to make sure you select a lamp that is proportionate to the room and isn't too overwhelming or small. Make sure your lamp is proportionate to your ceiling height and to scale with your furniture.

Finishes and Materials: Choosing a floor lamp made with a unique material or finish can take an everyday household item and make it a statement piece. Think modern floor lamps made of polished stainless steel or plaster for an unexpected flair. Or work in natural materials like rattan, leather, marble or wooden floor lamps for an organic modern look. Metal floor lamps available in matte black, white or gold finishes are also a popular choice for the modern home.

Your floor lamp can't do all the work when it comes to pulling a room together. Opt for complementary decorative lighting throughout the entire space such as modern table lamps, flush mounts, wall sconces and pendant lights in similar finishes to tie to entire room together.
