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 dazzling 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 seated 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. In combination with a sidetable or end table, it forms a complete reading nook. Choose an arc floor lamp if you want the lamp to extend over the sofa so that 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. Choose 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 diffusion 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, sturdy 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

Clean lines, matte colors (white, grey, natural wood), minimalist design. A Scandinavian floor lamp is versatile and fits into almost any interior. Soothing and timeless.

Modern / Minimalist

Ultra-sleek shapes, thin profile, sometimes with LED strip or indirect light. For a contemporary, design-oriented interior. Fits well with a concrete floor, 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 bulb to mirror bulb or LED spot.
  • 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 lamp provides as much light as a 60-75W incandescent bulb but consumes 80% less energy and lasts up to 25,000 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Floor Lamps

What is the height of a floor lamp?

Most floor lamps are 140-180 cm high. Reading lamps are often slightly lower (130-150 cm) so that the light shines at the correct height from a seated 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 into an industrial interior. Combine it 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 make a personalized proposal.
