A floor lamp adds extra light to a room and can be used in addition to overhead central lights or in place of them. These lamps are often found near seating areas like sofas and chairs where they can provide a good reading light. There are many lighting design options for floor lamps and it’s important to consider what type of light the space needs as well as what kind of style will complement the room.

A six-way floor lamp provides multiple light bulb sources under one lampshade and is a great choice for large spaces that need plenty of light. Also called a candelabra lamp, this style of lamp looks just like the traditional candles that would have been used before electricity, making it a nice touch to any room design.

You’ll find this style of floor lamp available in a variety of styles and price points from luxury to more affordable options. The most expensive floor lamp parts are often made from high-end metals and can be a bit more difficult to find at 1stDibs, but there are still plenty of quality options within any budget.

The most common type of floor lamp is the club lamp, which features a simple, round lampshade on top of a tall pole and base. You can find them in a wide range of materials and finishes, so they are a versatile option for any home design.

If you’re looking for a floor lamp with a little more flair, try a torchiere lamp. This style has a flared shade that points upward and can come in a variety of designs to suit your home décor. These lamps are often taller and can be more difficult to find at 1stDibs, as they’re usually made from heavier, high-quality materials that make them a bit more difficult to assemble than standard floor lamps.

There are also a number of different types of lamp bases and poles to choose from, all of which add to the overall look of your floor lamp. The base helps keep the lamp upright and can have weighted components to help it stay in place. They can also have decorative features to add visual interest, such as columns or a tubing that hides the threaded rod (pipe) and electrical wiring.

Another way to customize your floor lamp is by choosing the socket harp and shade. A socket harp is the pole that provides height to which the shade and bulb attaches and comes in a variety of styles. A swivel component allows you to adjust the direction of the harp, which is a good feature for those who want to control the amount of light coming from their floor lamp. A shade is what covers the light bulb and can be made of various types of fabric or glass.
