Floor lamps

Tall on style, our floor lamps offer convenient lighting for any space, large or small. They’re easy to move, so you can make anywhere a little cosier. And our floor lamps with flexible heads make reading more comfortable, because you can direct the light straight onto your book or magazine.

There’s plenty of different styles of floor lamps to choose from. For example, the upright, tripod and arc floor lamps are available in a variety of materials, including copper-coloured metallics and woods. Wooden floor lamps are ideal for bringing some subtle texture into your home. If you prefer modern floor lamps that give a clean and tidy look, choose materials like a sleek metal and tinted or shaded glass. Whatever style you prefer, you’ll be able to find a lamp you like in our wide selection.

How do you choose a floor lamp?

Start by deciding what you want the floor lamp to do, light up the whole room, give you focused light for reading, or simply add a stylish touch.

• Standard floor lamps are generally for the benefit of the whole room.
• Task lighting on the other hand, focuses lighting in one area, perfect for reading or writing.
• Uplighter lamp, point towards the ceiling, which helps illuminate the whole room.

Where should you put floor lamps?

• The right spot to place a floor lamp depends on the type of lamp you have and your lighting needs. If the lamp is designed for directional task lighting, you should consider having it above or behind a sofa, armchair or table. This way, the lamp doesn’t get in your way and provides the light you need.
• If it’s an up- or down-lighter, they’re generally best placed in a corner. This way, the light reflects on the walls and spreads throughout the room. Also remember that floor lamps are easily moved around, which is great if you're refurnishing or if you need it somewhere else.
