How to choose the right floor lamp for your home

Choosing the right floor lamp for your home comes down to three key factors: function, style, and space. Think about what you need the lamp for - do you want soft, ambient lighting for a cosy feel, focused task lighting for reading, or a statement piece that enhances your décor? Next, consider the style that best suits your home, whether it’s a sleek modern arc lamp, a classic tripod design, or a minimalist LED option. Finally, assess the available space - taller, slimmer lamps work well in small areas, while larger, sculptural designs can add character to open-plan rooms. With the right floor lamp, you can effortlessly elevate both the lighting and aesthetic of your space. A freestanding light can also provide useful illumination where fixed wiring or ceiling fittings are unsuitable.

Different ways to use floor lamps

Floor lamps can be used in many different ways and these ideas represent just a few to inspire you. 

1. Create a cosy reading nook

Place a task or arc lamp next to a comfy armchair to provide focused lighting for reading, knitting, or relaxing with a cup of tea.

2. Enhance ambient lighting

Use a torchiere or column lamp to softly illuminate a room, reducing harsh overhead lighting and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

3. Highlight a design feature

Position a stylish option near a gallery wall, architectural detail, or indoor plant to subtly draw attention to your favourite décor elements.

4. Brighten dark corners

Transform underutilised spaces by placing a floor lamp in a dim corner, instantly making the area feel more open and welcoming.

5. Define separate spaces

In open-plan homes, use a floor lamp to visually separate different areas, such as a lounge from a dining space, creating distinct zones without physical barriers.

Other lighting products you may need

If you’re thinking about refreshing your entire lighting scheme, there are some other products that may be of interest. For example, a stylish table lamp is an incredibly handy addition to a space and home, easily movable and naturally decorative if you want it to be. If you have interchangeable lighting fixtures, designer lamp shades are a great option to keep a room looking fresh. Finally, robust wall lights are great practical lighting solutions which can help with tasks and create depth in a space. 

How tall should a floor lamp be?

The ideal height for a regular and traditional style floor lamp is 155 cm in New Zealand. For people looking to experiment with new designs, it is completely possible to have floor lamps that are slightly taller or shorter than this.

Where should you place floor lamps in a living room?

Floor lamps are ideally placed slightly out of the way of the action of the living room, some place off to the side where they don’t interfere with where people are walking or want to sit, but where they can still provide enough light to the people nearby. A lot of homeowners in New Zealand choose to put their wall lights next to the couch or chairs in the living room, or off in the corner of the room, to provide the maximum amount of light without the floor lamp getting in the way.

What type of floor lamp gives the most light?

There is no strict answer to what type of floor lamp gives the most light, given that the light output is dependent on the number of lumens of the lightbulb. It will also be impacted by the type of lamp shade too and how much it shields the bulb.
