Floor Lamps (formally called standard lamps) are one style of lighting that can easily be under-utilised. We can’t understand why these tall lamps are overlooked in the lighting mix.
The main reason for neglecting to choose a floor lamp is lack of floor space and following an out of date view that floor standing lamps with big oversized shades are dated. Are we simply out of the habit of considering a floor lamp when planning a lighting purchase?
Here at LightingCompany.co.uk you’ll find a sensational collection of lamps, tall modern and contemporary lighting that will make you look at standard lamps in a new light.
What benefit is a standard lamp in a room?
When lighting a room, we automatically choose light ceilings and table top lamps, wall lamps and picture lights. Yet the mid height point in a room can still be dull. This is where a well chosen standard lamp can be brilliant. Literally bring brilliance to the space.

Avoiding the obvious: a good bright floor light for is perfect for reading by and for brightening a dark corner in a room. Yet we rarely explore harmonising and balancing light levels within a room. Floor lamps add an ambience or a contemporary statement piece to enliven the room beyond the norm. For rooms with higher ceiling heights it’s even more important you give space to a floor lamp. Add mid height lights and you immediately see how the room is enhanced, elongating and highlighting your lofty proportions.
Tall lamps in tall rooms are a must if you want a stylish elegance and cosy feel that requires lighting at various levels. The balance only comes from floor lamps. We’d liken this to notes on sheet music; it’s not too interesting a composition if you just have musical notes at the top and bottom of the scale, you need some transitional, harmony parts to balance the melody. It’s a bland piece when the middle is devoid of interest. It’s like a landscape with sky and grass without the middle part having some interest; trees and birds to soften or indeed capture attention.
Standard lamps they ain’t! At LightingCompany.co.uk the choice is so varied you’ll be sure to find a style to suit any room.
