Although bleedin' obvious to some...it's often overlooked by many of us just how pivotal lighting can be when cultivating a specific ambience.
While a pendant light or down lights are functional staples in every room of the house, they probably shouldn't be your go-tos for creating a calming home environment. Cue: the humble floor lamp.
Not just an investment in functionality, floor lamps can be used as statement pieces and styling tools in your home - as well as illuminating other treasures, such as a favourite painting or feature wall.
Yet, just as a fluorescent bulb in your floor lamp is an apt choice for finicky task lighting...if you're looking to set an intimate mood in your bedroom or living room, warm lighting in the form of one or several floor lamps will be your best bet.
To help you brighten your space and cultivate atmosphere in style, we've rounded up 15 of the best floor lamps currently available for every room, budget and style - from Hamptons to Scandi.
