Why We Love Architect Floor Lamps
Originally designed so that architects could see blueprints better, architect floor lamps are the epitome of utilitarian design. Their adjustable heads and swiveling necks, allow you to direct light wherever you need and make them perfect for task lighting. However, over the years, these lamps have evolved from their bare-bones purpose, ultimately resulting in an industrial light fixture that gets the job done and looks stunning doing it. Add to these simplistic pieces and update the rest of your home’s light fixtures with architectural outdoor lighting and architectural pendant lighting. Doing this will give your home a cohesive feel and the understated style pairs well with many other interior design approaches.
Where Architectural Floor Lamps Work Best
If you really want to take advantage of these pieces, you should place your architectural floor lamp in a space where you need task lighting. This makes them perfect for both home office and creative spaces. You can change the direction of the light as you see fit, and benefit from the stylistic addition of these impressive fixtures. But just because architect floor lamps were designed to work, doesn’t mean they need to be confined to a workspace. They also look stunning in a living room or den. They’ll provide the perfect bright light for reading, and when not in use, these lights will provide an elegant height to the room’s decor. For the rather large task that these lights do, they have a relatively small footprint, so place them wherever you see fit and enjoy their shining presence.
Favorite Architectural Floor Lamp Shapes & Colors
In their truest form, the architect's task floor lamps are simplistic L shapes with matte black finishes that truly embody utilitarian principles, and we absolutely love them. However, in this collection, you’ll find much more than just the classics. Giant architectural floor lamps add even more height and structure to these imposing fixtures and provide a brighter shine, making them perfect for larger rooms. We tend to favor the pieces that maintain the traditional structure, but update it a bit with shiny metallic finishes and cool, contemporary shades. They feel less industrial but are still up to the task of providing bright, ample light.
How to Choose the Perfect Architectural Floor Lamp
With all lamps, but especially with architectural floor lamps, you’ll want to precisely measure your space, making sure that you take both the width and the height into account. Though the long arms and adjustable necks provide this light with its functionality, they also increase the amount of space that they take up. Measuring before you buy will ensure that your new lamp fits perfectly in your space. If you have a smaller room, consider opting for a piece with a less traditional but more practical arm length.
Other Considerations
If you want additional impressively structural lighting options, you’ve come to the right place. 72-inch floor lamps are available in a variety of styles and designs, some much more compact than these architect floor lamps. Hanging floor lamps have a similar style but with the added delicacy of suspended accents. And, for a stylish and energy-efficient fixture, consider browsing our collection of LED floor lamps.
