Modern Floor Lamps

Why Choose a Floor Lamp or Standing Lamp

Floor lamps add a sculptural presence to rooms while supporting your personality and individuality. Choosing from a diverse collection of styles allows you to express a unique, individual style tailored for you and your home. The versatility of floor lamps makes a great fit in any room, whether you want to make a statement with a bold look or accent display. Consider adding a lamp with a tall column or low-profile base, which is ideal for corners and near sitting areas, or a floor reading lamp perfect for diving into a favorite book. Standing lamps span a range of traditional, transitional, modern, and contemporary styles. No matter the style you prefer, we’re here to help create the perfect look.

Floor lamps come in many styles, sizes, shapes, and colors. Styles include uplight lamps, torchiere lamps, reading lamps, swingarm lamps, multi-arm lamps and arc lamps. After finding the perfect application for your home, measure for height, width, depth and length to get the right fit. Check the lumen output and the lamp's required bulb type. You'll find brightness with a modern LED floor lamp or a warm glow with halogen bulbs. For outdoor use, check the lamp's UL rating to verify it’s safe to use in wet or damp locations. Also consider pairing with other fixtures; create flow by accompanying it with a table lamp, pendant light, chandelier or sconce.

Different Types of Floor Lamps

Floor lamps come in many styles, sizes, shapes and colors. Styles include uplight lamps, torchiere lamps, reading lamps, swingarm lamps, multi-arm lamps and arc lamps.

Arc Floor Lamps

Arc floor lamps are grander and larger versions of floor lamps. Rather than only having a long and thin body, these floor lamps showcase a wide arc. These lamps typically sit in a corner or behind a seating area due to their size. The end of the arc hovers over a sitting area, providing a bright source of light.

Reading Floor Lamps

Reading lamps can mount to the wall, sit on the floor or rest on a smaller surface such as an end table or bedside table. Reading lamps are generally used to provide enough light to read by or perform hobbies and tasks.

Torchiere Floor Lamps

Torchiere floor lamps bring a new dimension to spaces with height and portability that brings personality and a presence to the design scheme of a room. These lamps have the ability to brighten dark corners or create bursts of up-light along a wall. Several torchiere lamps along an extended wall or columns can also create a strong dramatic effect against neighboring surfaces.

Ambient Floor Lamps

Ambient floor lamps bring a cozy touch to rooms by presenting an indirect glow. Ambient floor lamps shape the mood and tone of the area and can also be portable, adding a welcoming personality to a room at a moment’s notice.

Swingarm and Multi-Arm Lamps

Swingarm lamps mount to the wall or sit on the floor and provide adjustable function, allowing for a precise display of light to a space below. The swingarm can be moved in a moment as needs arrive, making them versatile pieces that can be valuable for certain room décor and uses. Multi-arm lamps allow for adjustment with multiple arms, creating precise and unique lighting displays.
