Floor Lamp FAQs

Not sure which floor lamp is right for your space? We've answered some of the most common questions below.

Where should I put a floor lamp?

Floor lamps work best when placed to fill a gap in your lighting scheme. A corner of the living room that feels dark is a classic spot, as is beside a sofa or armchair if you want a reading light. In a bedroom, a floor lamp beside a chair or in the corner can create a softer alternative to overhead lighting in the evenings. Hallways and home offices are also great spots — anywhere that benefits from an extra layer of warm, ambient light.

What is the difference between a floor lamp and a table lamp?

The main difference is size and placement. Floor lamps stand on the floor and are typically 140–180cm tall, making them visible across a room and useful for lighting larger areas. Table lamps sit on a surface — a bedside table, side table or sideboard — and tend to cast a more localised pool of light. Both serve similar purposes in terms of creating ambient or task lighting, but floor lamps have the added advantage of not taking up any surface space.

Are floor lamps good for reading?

Yes — especially arc floor lamps or adjustable reading floor lamps, which allow you to direct the light exactly where you need it. Look for a lamp with a warm but bright bulb (around 3000K and 800+ lumens) for comfortable reading without eye strain. A lamp with a dimmer switch is ideal, so you can adjust the brightness depending on whether you want focused task lighting or something softer for relaxing.

How tall should a floor lamp be?

Most floor lamps range from around 140cm to 180cm in height. For a reading lamp beside a sofa or chair, you want the light source to sit at roughly head height when you're seated — around 130–150cm — so the light falls onto your reading material without shining directly in your eyes. For a floor lamp that's more decorative and designed to light a wider area, taller designs of 160–180cm tend to look more balanced in a room with standard ceiling heights.

Can I use a floor lamp in a bedroom?

Absolutely. A floor lamp in the bedroom is a great alternative to a traditional bedside table lamp, especially in rooms where surface space is limited. An arc floor lamp positioned over the bed can double as a reading light, while a slimmer uplight in the corner adds a warm, ambient glow that's much more relaxing than overhead lighting in the evenings. It's also a simple way to add visual height and style to a bedroom without any additional furniture.
