Living room floor lamps: a ray of light in the centre of your living oasis

Whether it's a reading corner, TV area or dining table - you don't just want to have a relaxing retreat at the heart of your home, you also want to be able to see everything? Then a floor lamp in the living room will bring light into the darkness. As a focal point, it creates a cosy atmosphere and atmospheric lighting within your four walls, allowing you to relax in no time at all.

Do you want cool white, neutral or warm white light in your room? Create your own personal feel-good ambience with the right light colour of your choice. Both single-colour lights and colour changes immerse your room in a colourful play of light that enchants the entire atmosphere as if at the speed of light.

Floor lamp in the spotlight: tips for the ideal choice of location

Position 1, 2 or 3? You can see whether your floor lamp is really in the right place when the light comes on! But don't let your floor lamp dazzle you when deciding on the right location, because we know that it really comes into its own where it sets the right lighting accents in your room. This is not only possible in the corners of the room, but also near your furniture. However, for optimally accentuated and soft light, you should not hide your floor lamp behind tall objects such as bookshelves and cupboards.

Behind the sofa

Do you read a lot or want to relax on the sofa and slumber into the evening? As background lighting , the floor lamp always creates a cosy atmosphere with its targeted light. Its indirect lighting also provides soft illumination of the room, making it easier for you to fall into a cosy mood.

Reading corner

Time passes quickly when reading while it gets darker and darker outside. A dimmable, modern floor lamp creates just the right lighting conditions so that your eyes are not strained in the dark. Thanks to the high position of the light source, it emits glare-free light so that you can read in peace.

Next to a side table

A large floor lamp acts as a decorative element next to a small table, but also casts a beautiful light on objects on its surface, such as a table lamp. With a lampshade or a particularly artistic design, the floor lamp will instantly become a modern eye-catcher in your room.

Corner of the room

For even light distribution, beautiful floor lamps are best placed in a corner of the room. This creates a soft brightness without "hard shadows" as it diffuses the light indirectly. A cosy ambience is the desired result of stylish lighting.

Luminous silhouettes: discover the diverse shapes

From elegant arches and slender columns to unusual geometric designs - various models enrich your own living room with their individual designs. Be inspired by the countless designs and contours that are available in different versions:

• Arc lamp: This has a curved frame that allows the lampshade to hover over a specific area of the room. This is practical for reading or illuminating the dining table, for example.
• Tripod floor lamp: This model owes its stability to its three-legged frame, which creates a pyramid-shaped appearance. At the top of the construction: the lampshade is usually positioned in the centre.
• Column-shaped floor lamp: With an elegant and minimalist design, slender and straight shapes that resemble a column are particularly appealing. Column-shaped models therefore fit well into modern interiors.
• Floor lamp with protruding shade: A large, often round or oval lampshade distributes the light over a large area in the room.
• Torchiere floor lamp: The lampshade here is directed upwards so that the light is scattered indirectly onto the ceiling. This creates soft and diffuse lighting in the room, which can be refined in different colours.

Note: Some models can also combine two or more designs, as is the case with a tripod floor lamp with an upward-opening shade, for example. There are no limits to your creativity if you want to influence the precise direction of your light.

Floor lamp in the living room: classic or modern?

A classic floor lamp, like a chandelier in a traditional design, quickly exudes an air of elegance, as its elongated and slender shape hardly looks out of place. Many opt for a warm light that goes perfectly with timeless and elegant furnishings. The floor lamp in various colours is a real eye-catcher.

Our tip: With the retro and Scandinavian styles, you can ideally harmonise light and lamp style to create the perfect atmosphere. In addition to the classic style, you can also choose a lamp with an oriental look, depending on your own interior design style. If you are generally enthusiastic about the design of old cultures, the antique style will also catch your eye. Regardless of the style: as an LED living room lamp, your LED floor lamp will shine for countless hours longer than a conventional light bulb.

Are you more of a modern type, but want to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the evening? A modern or industrial design radiates enough calm and serenity for you to relax in the light of the minimalist-looking lamp.

But less doesn't always have to be more, because if you prefer contemporary, ornate decorations and modern details, the Tiffany style is the best choice. The floral and playful patterns in Art Nouveau style are not only beautiful for young people, but for anyone who feels magically drawn to the light of these lamps.

Frequently asked questions

What functions should a floor lamp have in the living room?

In addition to providing ambient lighting, a floor lamp is ideal as background lighting. A flexible arm can also be individually adjusted to create the perfect reading light. Other useful features and elements include a night light, touch dimmer, timer, reading functions, step switch, etc.

How do I achieve balanced lighting in the room with floor lamps?

Point your floor lamp in different directions and combine individual lamp functions as required. Also consider the room structure to create a harmonious lighting atmosphere. You can experiment with the positions and combinations of the lamps. For example, if you want to create the right lighting for a reading corner with a table and/or sofa, we recommend using two lamps or just one.

What safety aspects need to be considered with a floor lamp?

Floor lamps in particular should be placed on a non-slip floor and a flat surface. You can lay the cable close to the wall so that it does not become a tripping hazard, which should not be a problem if it is placed in a corner or behind the sofa, for example. Thanks to the LED light source, you don't have to worry about overheating either.
