Floor Standing Lamps
Floor lamps have evolved into different kinds of forms and structures over the years. There are floor lamps with bent or curved bodies, but the traditional floor lamps with straight and tall bodies have never become outdated. No matter the material, colour, base, or finish, the direct and straightforward composition of floor standing lamps still catch the eye of designers and consumers, making it a floor lamp that stands in the limelight of lights for the longest time.
Gathered by our dedicated floor lamp enthusiasts, Zest Lighting offers our assemblage of floor standing lamps in different styles and patterns that fit most interior spaces. So whether you’re a fan of the Scandinavian style or is leaning towards the contemporary high-tech designs, we have stunning and functional floor lamps that can elevate the mood in the room. Use it as a task light, main lighting, or for accentuating your room’s furniture and decor; our floor standing lamps are guaranteed to do wonders and put smiles on each face.
The Composition of a Floor Standing Lamp
The traditional floor standing lamp’s structure has never been replaced since its popularity in the previous eras. A typical light is initially composed of four parts, but with the advancement of technology and craft, designers now consider a floor lamp to have five essential parts. These components are the lamp’s sturdy and weighted base, the tall pillar that connects the base to the other floor lamp parts, the bulb socket (or sockets) that are usually located on the top end of the post, the shade (or shades) to cover the socket/s, and a switch for lamp operational control. One can still purchase floor standing lamps without some of these elements in the market today. Still, the most abundant floor standing lamp designs have all these sections, with added features such as light dimming or light colour changing factors.
Elements to Consider When Buying a Floor Standing Lamp
As one of the earliest lamp types, there’s an incredible number of floor standing lamps for sale nowadays. Each has its own appeal and style. So how do you know what floor standing lamp to choose? There are a couple of essential factors you need to consider when buying a floor standing lamp, and we’ve compiled them here for your own reference:
-
Size and Height: An average floor lamp’s height is four to six feet, but there are floor standing lamps in the market beyond that range. Moreover, size is proportional to height, so you’ll generally find tall standing floor lamps with big posts or bases. If a shaded floor standing lamp is your choice, designers recommend that you get one with a shade at your chest level. This is to ensure enough lighting in the room while blocking the potential glare you’ll receive from the light bulb when sitting down on a sofa.
-
Floor space and location: Pay attention to where you will put your future floor standing lamp. In essence, you can place a floor standing lamp anywhere inside your house. Some people put them in bathrooms and kitchens, so you don’t necessarily have limitations on where to add your floor standing lamp, except for the available floor space. Typically, the taller the floor lamp, the larger it is, and the more surface area it covers. Therefore, it’s best not to fit these kinds of lamps between furniture spaces in the living room. Moreover, as a safety precaution, don’t place floor standing lamps in areas that may block foot traffic, like near entryways or in hallway cross-sections.
-
Floor Lamp Style: If you’re a fan of a specific art style, or if you adore a particular look from a specific design era, then you’ll probably be most comfortable in adding a floor standing lamp of the same style to your personal space. It will be better for you to only consider your personal style and not be swept up by the latest design trends, as the floor standing lamp you choose will represent your own style. It will be your home’s floor lamp, your space’s lighting equipment, and not the crowd’s desired floor standing lamp. Be always proud of what you like, as that defines who you are.
-
Existing Furniture and Decor: If you’re redecorating a space and want to add a portable floor standing lamp to it, it’s best to consider the current style and decor in the room when choosing the lamp’s appearance. Suppose you have an area that emanates a natural and airy vibe. In that case, you’ll most likely eliminate lamps with metallic elements in your choice as they will disrupt your space’s appeal. Similarly, you won’t add a futuristic-looking floor standing lamp into a room full of paintings and artworks made by famous artists in the sixteenth century. Wisely complement your standing floor lamp’s look to the current decor and furniture of the interior space.
-
Floor Lamp Purpose: Lamps are classified to perform three general purposes: giving and maintaining ample lighting as a primary light, intentionally shining a specific area as a task light, and/or highlighting a decorative piece and accentuating a room’s mood as an accent light. A floor standing lamp can achieve any of these lighting purposes, with many lamps leaning onto one or two roles. For example, a shaded floor standing lamp can become the perfect general lighting in a living space or the light that creates the atmosphere in a bedroom. A floor standing lamp’s design is usually based on its function, so consider what do you want your own floor standing lamp to do and add to your room.
-
Socket and Light Bulbs: Each floor lamp is made to match a specific bulb type, as lamp sockets aren’t universally compatible with all light bulbs. If you already have a list of your preferred standing floor lamps, it’s advisable to filter out those with necessary light bulbs that you can’t locally source. This saves you time and effort in searching for the applicable light bulb for your floor standing lamp and gives you the assurance that you’ll have an accessible bulb supply if the light bulb dies. However, it’ll be a different scenario if your chosen floor standing lamp includes matching light bulbs upon purchase or if you can request a bulb supply from your contact salesperson.
-
Cost: Generally, the more aesthetically pleasing a floor standing lamp is, the more expensive it is. The same goes if the light has more features other than lighting and if it has intricate or elaborate designs on it. So, if a specific multifunctional floor standing lamp caught your eye, be prepared to buy it at a higher than general market floor standing lamp price.
With all these notes, we’ve given you a direction on how to screen the perfect floor standing lamp for your space and needs. Take time to deliberate on the right one for you before deciding on purchasing it.
