Floor Lamps
They are extremely flexible, practical, and functional piece of furniture that, if desired, attracts everyone's attention with its special design. Floor lamps are true jack-of-all-trades when it comes to creating the right light with pinpoint accuracy. We'll show you what to look out for when making your choice.
If you want to create atmospheric lighting in your rooms, you need to ensure that two success factors interact: install a light source that provides pleasant basic lighting and additional selective highlights that give the room more structure. Floor lamps can do both!
SOFT AMBIENT LIGHTING OR ACCENT LIGHTING: FLOOR LAMPS CAN BE USED FLEXIBLY!
With a floor lamp whose light beam is directed towards the ceiling, you can bathe a relatively large area of the room in a softly subdued, indirect light, which creates a homely atmosphere, especially in the evening hours. Depending on the colour of the ceiling and wall, the light is reflected into the room to a greater or lesser extent. As a result, it appears softer and more evenly distributed than with direct lighting.
Classic shaded floor lamps, on the other hand, are ideal for creating cosy islands of light and drawing more attention to a specific area of a room. If the rest of the room remains in a dim light, you can create beautiful accents, for example around the sofa or your favorite armchair. In addition, floor lamps have the advantage that they produce a warmer light than a bright ceiling lamp due to their height in the middle of the room.
PLACING INSTEAD OF MOUNTING: FLOOR LAMPS SAVE SPACE AND ASSEMBLY WORK.
In our online assortment, you have the free choice between classic floor lamps with a straight base and shade, light fixtures with a cover made of paper, textile or other materials that are completely illuminated from the inside, as well as arc lamps with a large "range". These diverse construction methods and materials ensure a wide variety of applications and guarantee that you will find a model that exactly meets your wishes and requirements.
What all floor lamps have in common is that they save space, are quick to set up and require no manual dexterity to put them into operation. They therefore do not need to be mounted and can therefore change their position at any time. This makes them an all-rounder that cuts a fine figure in any room (apart from damp rooms)!
WIDE VARIETY OF COLOURS, SHAPES AND MATERIALS
The wide range of different designs that we offer in our online range ensures that you will find exactly the floor lamp that will fit harmoniously into your home. Whether in an industrial look with rough workshop charm, classic, Scandinavian-minimalist, in a natural country house style or interpreted in a modern way - floor lamps are available in every conceivable style. If a fabric sheath envelops the entire lamp, it looks like an artistic light object. But all possibilities are also open to you when it comes to classic shade floor lamps: whether made of wood, paper, glass or textile in a wide variety of colours - depending on your wishes, you can make a modern statement in the living room, a piece of romance in the bedroom or an upbeat "hello" in the hallway.
Lampshades made of fabric conjure up cosiness in your living space. Lampshades or covers made of glass look timeless and elegant. Wood always provides a natural warmth in the room, metal, on the other hand, looks rather cool, but also a touch more glamorous. In addition to rattan and wood, bamboo and raffia are sought-after natural materials that create a beautiful lighting atmosphere. As a rule, these floor lamps have warm colours and soft surfaces. This makes you feel a little closer to nature with them. In addition, these materials create cosiness, especially in open, generously planned living spaces, which otherwise quickly appear cold. In addition, such natural materials are noble and harmonise with all kinds of styles.
THE FLOOR LAMP: AT HOME IN ALMOST EVERY ROOM.
With a little creativity, you can find a suitable place for a beautiful floor lamp in almost any room. Floor lamps are particularly popular in the living room. Once basic lighting has been provided here – which, by the way, can also be generated by means of uplight floor lamps – individual light zones create a particularly cosy atmosphere. Whether it's your favourite armchair for reading, the area by the sofa or the living room table – where you spend more time you usually need additional light. In addition, floor lamps are almost always the right choice in the living room. Not only are they ideal as reading light, but they are also decorative room elements. However, to create this effect, you should make sure to give the floor lamp enough space. Otherwise, the living room will quickly look cluttered, and the decorative effect of the lamp will be lost. For reading corners, models with a shade open at the bottom are suitable, which focuses the light where you need it.
Many people have also discovered the floor lamp as an ideal "light companion" for television. Watching TV without additional light is harmful to the eyes, because too much light-dark contrasts are very exhausting for them in the long run. Floor lamps emit a pleasantly indirect light and are dimmable in many cases. This allows you to perfectly strain your eyes while watching TV. However, when placing it, make sure that the light is not reflected in the device when watching TV.
Particularly impressive in the living room are expansive arc lights. They are functional eye-catchers, give the room a modern, stylish ambience and enhance any interior. As a reading light on the sofa or comfortable armchair, they never block the view into the room and are not in the way when you get up.
TO WORK!
Even in the office or study, you usually need selective, targeted lighting. A floor lamp can be the right choice here. If several workstations are distributed in one room, the positioning of floor lamps instead of a central ceiling light can quickly do away with the classic "open-plan office atmosphere" and provide more comfort.
THE DECORATIVE ALTERNATIVE TO THE CLASSIC BEDSIDE LAMP.
Even in the bedroom, floor lamps cut a fine figure. Whether as atmospheric indirect lighting, as an additional light source next to the wardrobe or as functional reading lamps directly at the bed - many floor lamps are just as suitable in the bedroom as classic bedside lamps and often represent a real visual enrichment for this room.
The entrance area is the calling card of your home. This is where it is decided whether guests feel comfortable right away or not. It is precisely for this reason that a floor lamp - for example in addition to a ceiling lamp, which provides the right basic lighting - can significantly increase the cosiness factor of your hallway.
THE RIGHT LIGHT SOURCE FOR EVERY APPLICATION.
Floor lamps can perform various tasks. Depending on the intended use, you should therefore use the right light source. In our online assortment you will find floor lamps, where you can choose the light source and thus the light colour yourself, as well as those that have a permanently installed LED board. Since these are much thinner, they give designers more creative freedom. In recent years, many exciting models have come onto the market that are proving to be real eye-catchers. Furthermore, LED lamps have the advantage that they are often dimmable, save electricity and have a long service life. Some of them are even equipped with an RGB colour changer.
With the free-standing lamps without a permanently installed light source, you can always determine the light colour yourself. Cool white is particularly suitable for reading or working, while warm white bathes the living area in a relaxed and cosy light.
