Where to Use a Floor Lamp?
Reading Nook
A floor lamp next to an armchair or chair is a classic. A good reading lamp provides focused light on your book without blinding the rest of the room. Choose a model with an adjustable arm or shade so you can direct the light precisely. Ideal height for a reading lamp: 130-150 cm (shoulder/head height from a sitting position).
Next to the Sofa
A floor lamp next to the sofa or in the corner of the seating area creates a warm, atmospheric light zone. Combined with a side table or occasional table, it forms a complete reading nook. Choose an arc floor lamp if you want the lamp to extend over the sofa so the light shines from above.
Bedroom
A floor lamp next to the bed is a stylish alternative to a bedside lamp. It provides more light height and has a greater decorative impact. Opt for a dimmable floor lamp to dim comfortably before going to sleep.
Types of Floor Lamps
Arc Floor Lamp
An arc floor lamp has a long, curved arm that extends over the sofa or armchair. This allows the light to shine from above — perfect for reading or creating atmospheric lighting in the seating area. The base is heavy (sometimes with marble) for stability. A popular choice in modern and Scandinavian interiors.
Standard Lamp (Straight Pole)
A classic standard lamp with a straight pole and shade. Timeless, functional, available in countless variations. Choose a large shade for wide light dispersion or a small, focused shade for reading light.
Tripod Floor Lamp
A tripod stands on three legs (like a camera tripod). It has an artistic, sculptural character. Fits well in a bohemian, industrial, or eclectic interior. Less stable than a solid base — so not suitable if there are small children or pets.
Styles
Industrial Floor Lamp
Black metal, robust proportions, sometimes with a swivel head or adjustable arm. The industrial floor lamp is a statement piece in any room. Combines well with wooden furniture, concrete floors, and brick walls.
Scandinavian Floor Lamp
Sleek shapes, matte colors (white, gray, natural wood), minimalist design. A Scandinavian floor lamp is versatile and fits into almost any interior. Soothing and timeless.
Modern / Minimalist
Ultra-sleek forms, thin profile, sometimes with an LED strip or indirect light. For a contemporary, design-oriented interior. Pairs well with concrete floors, high ceilings, and minimalist furniture.
Light Source — E27, Dimmable and Energy Efficient
- E27 fitting: The standard large-screw light fitting. Most flexible in bulb choice: from classic globe lamps to mirror lamps or LED spots.
- Dimmable: Always choose a dimmable floor lamp — this way you can adjust the light to the atmosphere and activity. Use a dimmable LED bulb for optimal results.
- Warm white (2700-3000K): Ideal for mood lighting. Provides a warm, inviting light that makes the room cozy.
- Energy-efficient LED: An 8-12W LED bulb provides as much light as a 60-75W incandescent bulb, but consumes 80% less energy and lasts up to 25,000 hours.

Buying advice: choosing the right lamp
- Pendant lamp above dining table: bottom of lamp 65-75 cm above tabletop. For ceilings higher than 260 cm: adjust proportionally.
- Lumen guideline for dining room: 300-500 lumens per m² for ambient lighting, 500-750 lm/m² for functional light.
- Color temperature: 2700-3000K (warm white) for dining and living rooms. 4000K+ (cool white) for workspaces.
- Pendant lamp diameter vs. table: 1 lamp: diameter = 1/3 table length. 3 small lamps above a long table: each approx. 20-25 cm diameter.
- Floor lamp: height 140-180 cm, shade at eye level when seated (approx. 120-130 cm) or above.
What is the height of a floor lamp?
Most floor lamps are 140-180 cm tall. Reading lamps are often a bit lower (130-150 cm) so the light shines at the right height from a sitting position. Arc floor lamps are the tallest: 170-200 cm.
What is an arc floor lamp?
An arc floor lamp has a long, curved arm that extends over your sofa or armchair. The shade then hangs above your head, so the light shines from above — ideal for reading or ambient lighting in the seating area. The base is heavy for stability.
Can a floor lamp be dimmed?
Yes, provided the lamp has a dimming function (inline dimmer in the cord or built-in dimmer) AND you use a dimmable LED bulb. Always check if the light source is dimmable before installing a dimmer.
Which floor lamp suits an industrial interior?
A black metal floor lamp with a robust shade or an adjustable arm fits perfectly with an industrial interior. Combine with an Edison filament bulb for the ultimate industrial effect.
Can a floor lamp also be custom ordered?
Yes. Industrial Home makes custom floor lamps. Provide your desired height, color, shade shape, and light source, and we will create a personalized proposal.
What is the delivery time?
Typically 4 to 6 weeks after order confirmation. After ordering, you will receive a confirmation with the expected delivery date.
