Interior lighting is notoriously hard to get right. There’s a delicate balance in creating light that is soft enough to be flattering, but bright enough for reading or working. It’s also challenging to figure out the right mix of overhead and accent lighting. A floor lamp may be the trickiest purchase as these lamps not only need to be a great source of light, they are also a key part of a room’s décor.Get more news about China Floor Lamps Decor Exporter ,you can vist our website!

We asked interior designers to share their favorite floor lamps—ones that they have either owned themselves or used in projects for clients. From a classic brass reading light to a sculptural rice-paper lantern, these expert picks will make your room glow. This is the lamp to place next to your favorite reading chair. “Pharmacy-style lamps have been around for many years and the lines of this piece are transitional, allowing it to work with many design styles without dating itself,” says Cynthia Masters, of the design firm Panageries in Greenville, S.C. “You can spend a little more on pieces like this because you’ll have them for a long time,” she adds. Masters notes that this swing arm‘s size and shape allow it to tuck cozily next to a chair, freeing up space on a nearby side table.

While there’s a case to be made for investment pieces, there are also times when you want a fast fix for a dark corner. “I was recently looking for an affordable brass, pharmacy-style lamp for my guest room where I didn’t want to spend a fortune,” says Grant K. Gibson, an interior designer who splits his time between San Francisco and Castine, Maine. He settled on a vintage-style gooseneck from Brightech, ​​a newish, direct-to-consumer lighting company that offers free shipping.

Kaitlyn Murphy, senior designer at Marguerite Rodgers Interior Design in Philadelphia, says she has always been inspired by the 9602 Floor Lamp designed by Paavo Tynell for the Hotel Aulanko in 1935. This lamp has a timeless air and Murphy notes that while simple, it can hold its own in a room with rich materials like velvet upholstery, marble and plaster. She also points out there are many good, lower-cost homages to the design, including this lamp with a woven shade and rattan-wrapped base.

A milky glass sphere seems to perch precariously on the slender metal arm of this minimalist lamp designed by Michael Anastassiades. The tension in the design “will add drama and whimsy to any space,” says Charles Pavarini III, owner of Pavarini Design in New York City and a longtime board member of the Designers Lighting Forum of New York. Plus, he notes, it’s a high-quality fixture that throws off great light.

Designer pieces are not always attainable, but Isamu Noguchi’s Akari lights are design classics that fit a broad range of budgets, says Amanda Jesse, partner at Jesse Parris-Lamb, a Brooklyn-based interior design studio. “The handcrafted sculptural shape of an Akari floor lamp adds a warm, organic element to a space,” she says. “The textural washi paper shades filter light beautifully, but are equally stunning when the lamps are turned off.”
