Industrial Floor Lamps

Industrial Floor Lamps

A long-time favorite among design professionals and consumers alike, table and floor lamps are loved for their flexibility and portability as well as the ability to easily coordinate with existing furniture, decorative accessories and fixtures. Picking out the ideal floor lamp involves taking style into consideration but also understanding the available features that will make the space more functional. Modern industrial floor lamps can be used practically anywhere.

Draw inspiration from the room's dominant decor style to find the perfect lamp for the space. For example, in ultramodern or minimalist spaces, choose designer floor lamps with metal or glass shades, solid metal bases, and finishes like matte black, brushed gold or polished chrome. Metal floor lamps work particularly well in industrial or minimalist spaces and often have slender profiles and adjustable arms for added convenience.

In spaces with primarily traditional décor, industrial floor lamps can work well if they incorporate a few traditional design details. Look for adjustable arc-style floor lamps in traditional finishes like brass and chrome combined with modern convenience features like 360-degree rotating shades, dimmer switches and 12-foot power cords. Other table and floor lamp styles that work well with traditional décor and fixtures include Edison floor lamps with Old World charm. Featuring exposed filament bulbs and lustrous metallic finishes, Edison lamps are a welcome addition to traditional and mid-century modern spaces.

Other Things to Consider

After determining where to place the industrial floor lamp and what type of look to achieve in the space, there are some other things to be mindful of before making a final decision. While the aesthetic value is certainly important, the lighting needs of the space should be taken into consideration and the lighting type chosen should be based on the activities that typically take place in that space.
