Summary
Lighting tends to be an afterthought in interior design. But the best floor lamps, intentionally placed in the right spaces around the house, can elevate the look of your decor.
Lamp/table hybrids are nothing new to those who frequent secondhand and vintage shops. Karo turns the familiar combo on its head by placing its platform at the center of the tripod rather than wrapping around a central support.
The Montage Modern is also available in an ivory, pleated shade option as well as tan. The clear, floor-based on/off button and wire may not be easily accessible if the lamp is positioned behind furniture.
CB2’s Big Dipper is a statement lamp that’�s also understated. It’d be most at home in a sprawling space with cathedral ceilings. Because this lamp is quite large, it’S not the easiest to move from room to room.
“If you’re expecting a grand statement lamp, this is not it’s not it,” says AD Pro associate director Lila Allen. Gubi Stemlite Floor Lamp is a signature light for modernist interiors.
The Stemlite is a wee lad, standing just around four feet tall. It turns on and off (and dims!) through a rotary near the base of the shade.
Overheating can melt bulb sockets and wiring. It may also cost you more in the long run and be less energy-efficient. If you’re still confused on the correct bulb to look for, we hope this handy visual guide will help.
