Concrete Floor Lamps

Why We Love Concrete Floor Lamps

Although you’re probably most familiar with concrete in industrial and construction settings, there is something to be said about bringing this rough, rustic material into your home. Concrete floor lamps are unconventionally attractive. The raw concrete material adds an unexpected texture and a strong, sturdy presence while contemporary designs and elegant styles elevate the light. Use them to add an organic presence to your home spaces without taking away from some of the more refined elements. Concrete floor lamps look stunning in living rooms, foyers, and home offices, where their comfortable elements will be welcome and their superior style can be appreciated daily.

Decor that Works Well with Concrete Base Floor Lamps

Concrete possesses an industrial look with a natural touch. Play up the softer side of concrete with organic wood accents or soft, warm metals. Or, opt to highlight the industrial side of this unique material with dark, matte metals and sharp, sleek lines. Either way, you’ll be rewarded with a unique fixture that looks stunning in any room. Pair your concrete base floor lamp with concrete pendant lighting or concrete table lamps to add similar touches of industry and nature to the rest of your home’s lighting. Or, add a more substantial piece, like a concrete coffee table, to your living spaces to put this unique style front and center. Concrete floor lamps are perfect for adding a subtle rustic element, and it’s easy to build off of their one-of-a-kind design and bring a similar style to other rooms and spaces.

Favorite Concrete Floor Light Shapes & Sizes

We think that floor lamps are the ideal way to showcase concrete decor. Their tall vertical presence ensures that attention is directed towards them, and the addition of concrete adds a strong component that still feels soft. And, the pieces that combine rough and heavy concrete with contrasting elements like light and airy linen or sleek and polished metals. Look for tall statuesque floor lamps with concrete bases to find a piece that feels simultaneously imposing and subtle. Or, opt for a more demure fixture and look for a piece with simple lines, unadorned shades, and a soft touch of concrete. And, if you want big and bold, you’ll want a fixture with a large “concrete” shade that looks deceptively heavy and strong but feels light and versatile.

How to Choose the Best Concrete Floor Lamps

Floor lamps work well for both ambient and task lighting, but won’t be able to provide both options in one fixture. So, first, decide what type of lighting you need. If you want to use your floor lamp in a home office or as a reading light placed above an accent chair, look for a concrete floor lamp with a directional head. However, if you’d prefer a soft ambient shine, look for a fixture with a shade to diffuse the light. You should also keep the height and structure of the lamp in mind, as these will dictate where you place it.

Other Considerations

One of the most desirable aspects of concrete floor lamps is the innate contrast of nature and industry that concrete possesses. It’s rough and rustic, but it’s also man-made.
