The modern floor lamp: a contemporary glow in your living space!
When we imagine a modern floor lamp, we immediately think of a lamp straight out of the imagination of a designer of our time. And it’s very real, most of the time! Although some of these lights are purely basic and are the result of a 100% functional need to illuminate a part of the house, some models come in various shapes, bringing a beautiful touch of design as well as a zen atmosphere.
Depending on whether you are looking for soft light or, on the contrary, white light, we have a whole range of models in tripod or single-leg format to offer you, and that in all colors and shapes!
The different types of modern floor lamps
- The minimalist models: Characterized by simple and sleek lines, these models are often designed with a metal base such as aluminum, nickel, or another type of alloy such as chrome-plated metal. They come in geometric shapes. We can notably mention rectangular or cylindrical models. The colors are generally gold, matte black, but also matte white.
If you are wondering where to place this type of minimalist lamp, we recommend, of course, placing it near a dining table, in a hallway near the entrance, but also in a bedroom and near a desk for working.
Regarding colors, white, gray, and black are often featured.
- Arched floor lamps
Very characteristic of the 21st century, arched or curved lamps are often found on a wall sconce, but also a desk lamp. Floor lamps are no exception! In fact, it is a very designer type of lighting because it generally has a beautiful adjustable lampshade in glass or bamboo, to bring a nice touch to your interior as well as a directional luminous flux. Indeed, their curved shapes allow to diffuse a very precise and focused lighting on a given spot.
We strongly recommend positioning this type of floor lantern near a sofa, a bedside table, or a reading nook.
Given the very elaborate finish of this type of floor lighting, the colors that blend well with this type of ensemble are generally brown (via natural wood) or beige, if you have a light wooden leg such as rattan.
- The smart floor lamp
We obviously have to talk about the most advanced lighting fixtures there are! Whether for the outside or the inside of the house, these very sophisticated floor lamps generally include an integrated light dimmer as well as a screw-in dimmable bulb. This makes it an unusual object.
They are also equipped with a remote control through which you can vary the intensity of the light source remotely, but also the color temperature. And if you want even more smart home technology in your light diffuser, you can opt for a model with a motion detector. Regarding the outdoors, some even include an integrated mini photovoltaic solar panel.
- The articulated or directional arm floor lamp
To quickly touch upon these last two very recent models in the history of interior decoration, you also have the choice of opting for a model featuring several fixed arms equipped with led bulbs, illuminating several directions.
The other style with an articulated arm allows you to bring the light source closer to you, or on the contrary, move it away if needed.
Among all the modern lighting fixtures that exist, the floor lamp is undoubtedly the one that lends itself best to modernity, both by its use and by the limitless creativity it allows!
