Circo arc brass & natural linen floor lampLights & LampsIf you have room at the ends of the sofa then these curves are a great way to frame your seating area and perfect if you don’t have, or don't want to use, the overhead pendant. The linen shade will diffuse the light gently – and placed next to a statement chair it’s almost like an art installation, but more comfortable.
Brass Milan Floor Light Holloways of LudlowThis is so simple and so elegant it would work in absolutely any style of interior, from a maximalist drawing room, where it would discreetly stand in the corner and do its job without making a fuss, to a minimally styled loft, where it would stand out and draw the eye.
Arco Floor Light Holloways of LudlowThe daddy of all design classics in the lighting department, the Arco lamp has a heavy Carrara marble base so it won’t ever topple over. The two holes, by the way, were designed to slide a broomstick through so two men could move it.
Hector Floor Light Holloways of LudlowA classic of the genre, this floor lamp is beautifully made by Original BTC in the UK and will work in any interior - even a chintzy maximalist one - although seek out the translucent bone china shade, which gives off the most beautiful soft light.
ned standing lamppookyOne thing to always double check is when lamp bases don’t come with shades. I’ve been caught out by that before, so do always make sure before you buy. This is one of those occasions – and while you might like the styling of the raffia shade, you will need to add to cart independently. I quite like the contrast between the metallic adjustable base and the somewhat low-fi shade.
Pole Walnut stained oak floor lampHabitatI’m a fan of a traditional standard lamp with a wooden base and the lampshade of your choice, and here you have just that. Buy the base - it’s a simple modern shape - and add any shade you want. I’m thinking patterned and fringed to contrast with the minimal base.
Miller Floor Light Holloways of LudlowAnother classic with several combinations to choose from. The shade is a slightly more pared back version of the Arne Jacobsen AJ floor lamp and is created from spun aluminium. If you want something that will do the job forever in any room you choose to put it in without having to think about floor lamps again then this is your man.
