Selecting Contemporary Floor Lamps for the Living Room

Lighting is a useful way to change and create aspect and atmosphere in a living space.  Less harsh than overhead lamps and providing a bit more light than mere table lamps, contemporary floor lamps are a great accompaniment to sofas, bookcases, TVs and anywhere else that needs extra lighting.

Contemporary floor lamps can be easily added to any decorating scheme and provide a functional and stylish addition.  There are different styles to choose from, and selecting the right floor lamp depends on available space, the lamp’s purpose and personal taste.

A torchiere lamp can provide general lighting and is sleek and skinny, utilising little space.  The light points upwards, meaning it provides soft lighting that can either be dimmed or brightened as required, providing subtle and warm lighting options.

A tray lamp is a very functional design and consists of a lamp with a built in table at various height levels.  This style can work very well for small living areas that lack room for contemporary coffee tables but still wish to combine a small table and a lamp.

A tower floor lamp is designed as a tower and is a wonderful accent piece and decor idea in addition to being a functional lamp.  Resembling a sculpture, this abstract lamp creates a focal point and provides illumination from base to top.

A down bridge lamp points directly downwards and looks quite elegant positioned next to a lounge chair or sofa and can make an excellent reading lamp in the living room.
