Modern LED Floor Lamps

What Rooms Work Best for LED Floor Lamps?

LED floor lamps can be a great addition to just about any room in your home. Spaces that can particularly benefit from a modern LED floor lamp include the living area, home office and bedroom. A floor lamp can provide accent lighting, task lighting or even general lighting for a room, depending on the style. You should consider a floor lamp as an integral part of your lighting scheme for each of these spaces.

What Are Common Styles & Features of LED Floor Lamps?

LED floor lamps can cast light in a variety of directions. Some models feature shades or globes that are adjustable so you can aim light where you need it. Other styles cast light onto the ceiling or wall, which softly illuminates an entire room. Aside from adjustability, another popular feature of floor lamps is dimmability. These fixtures will feature a knob that allows you to lower or raise the lighting output of the fixture so you can adapt it to a variety of scenarios.

How Do I Shop for LED Floor Lamps?

When you begin shopping for floor lamps, first you should consider the style that best fits with your home’s decor. LED floor lamps come in many finishes and materials, including metal, wood, glass, marble and ceramic. You’ll want to coordinate the style and finishes with other light fixtures in your room as well as door and cabinet hardware, if applicable. Finally, you can further narrow down floor lamp options by size, lighting output and price.

What Else Should I Consider When Buying an LED Floor Lamp?

When buying an LED floor lamp, you should consider how you plan to use the space. A torchiere style floor lamp is a good choice for a living area as it casts light on the ceiling and provides a soft overall ambience. However, if you are shopping for a fixture for a home office, multiple adjustable arms can be very useful, allowing you to simultaneously aim light at a work surface, wall, and ceiling for a combination of task and overall lighting.
