Every room needs light. Even if there is plenty of natural light flooding the room, a reliable light source is needed for dark days and evenings to ensure that the people using the space can see what they’re doing.
Light can create a mood, make you more productive in a workspace and even draw your attention to artwork or a room’s unique features. In addition to table lamps, ceiling lights and wall sconces, floor lamps are a great choice to ensure a room has proper lighting.
Floor lamps are chic and versatile. You can move them around within a space to add warmth and beauty or use them in rooms that don’t have the proper surface for a table lamp. Regardless of a room’s size or layout, floor lamps always work well in a bedroom, office and living room. Once you’ve determined that you’d like to add a floor lamp to a room’s decor, ask yourself what you need it for. Is it for reading? Casting a subtle glow to create ambience? Allowing the family to move around without stumbling over furniture? Knowing the lamp’s purpose (practical, decorative or both) is important when purchasing a floor lamp.
Some floor lamps are designed with a shade that directs the light up or down. If you want to read by a floor lamp, you wouldn’t choose a torchiere style, which directs light to the ceiling. Light directed upwards has a decorative impact. It provides subtle lighting and is considered a general light source for seeing around the room, but not necessarily reading or working. Here are a few stylish choices of floor lamps to beautify every room in your home:
1. A Stylish Table Lamp Illuminates a Reading Nook
A floor lamp that works double duty as a side table is ideal for a living room or bedroom. Place it beside a comfy reading chair or use it as part of a seating arrangement to brighten a room while providing a handy surface to hold a beverage, book or reading glasses.
2. Artistic Lighting Showcases Your Style
Designer floor lamps such as this one allow you to make your space unique. Light directed upwards typically has a decorative impact. However, when the bulb is a glass sphere and doesn’t have a shade to direct light up or down, it provides an all-over glow, making it a great light source to see around the room. This floor lamp has a balancing sphere in frosted glass resting on a gold-tone metal stem. With angular shapes and crisp finishes, this style of the lamp will make any space unique.

A trendy light on a tripod stand is always the right choice for a bedroom or office. It’s also perfect for a living room. Okay, let’s face it… it’s right for any space! This versatile floor lamp has a shade that allows you to direct light into a specific area. And because it’s not bulky, you can slip this floor lamp into a corner, behind a chair or even between a sofa and a loveseat for reading or to cast a glow in the entire room while watching tv.
4. Elegant Arched Light Casts a Golden Glow
No matter what your decor style maybe, adding a touch of gold always enhances a space and gives it a luxurious edge. Choose an art deco style floor lamp to take a room from so-so to so-sensational. Consider a light that works to brighten your space and also starts conversations with its stunning shape. A defining feature of this gorgeous light is the frosted glass shade that drops in an arched shape. Adjustable in height, this lamp is a must for a chic bedroom or to add golden glamour to a living room.

A pointed oblong shade can tilt up or down for reading in bed, yet is also a focal point beside a fireplace mantel or emphasizing artwork. While a sleek silhouette can blend seamlessly into any setting, a stylish floor lamp with a unique shape always captures admiring glances.
