How to Choose the Right Floor Lamp for Indoors & Outdoors
Floor lamps serve as more than just light sources — they’re accent pieces that can completely transform a room or outdoor area. Here's a helpful guide to choosing the right floor lamp based on your space and needs.
🛋️ Indoor Floor Lamps
For Living Rooms:
Opt for torchiere floor lamps or adjustable lamps to create soft, overhead lighting for conversation areas or to spotlight a corner reading chair.
For Bedrooms:
Consider floor lamps with shelves to save space or modern floor lamps that blend with minimalist décor. A dimmer option is perfect for evening use.
For Reading or Office Areas:
Adjustable task floor lamps help reduce eye strain and improve focus. Look for swing-arm or gooseneck designs for flexibility.
🌿 Outdoor Floor Lamps
For Patios & Covered Porches:
Outdoor floor lamps should be UL-rated for damp or wet locations. Use them to create ambient lighting for gatherings or dinners under the stars. Look for resin or powder-coated finishes that withstand the elements.
Tip: Choose LED models for energy efficiency and easier setup.
📏 Quick Tips: Size, Placement & Spacing
- Lamp Height: Most indoor floor lamps are 58" to 64" tall. For reading, the bottom of the shade should sit at eye level when seated.
- Spacing: In living rooms, place floor lamps behind sofas or next to armchairs. For outdoor use, position them at pathway edges or corners to avoid clutter.
- Style Match: Match your lamp finish to other hardware in the room (drawer pulls, curtain rods, etc.) for a cohesive look.
