    Pia's Picks: arched lamps and furniture

    by Pia Seidel

Floor lamps

Floor lamps are an essential element of home decor, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. They are specifically designed to illuminate spaces efficiently while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Customers who invest in floor lamps are often seeking to enhance the ambiance of their living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices, where these lamps serve as both a source of light and a decorative touch. Due to their tall structure, floor lamps are particularly useful for providing focused light in areas for reading or working, and many enjoy the way they can softly brighten corners or complement overhead lighting without the need for permanent fixtures.

Our product selection boasts a variety of floor lamp subtypes to cater to differing preferences and needs. Reading lamps are designed with focused, adjustable lighting that is perfect for book lovers and avid readers looking to create a cozy corner. Office floor lamps offer a more direct and bright light that minimizes eye strain during extensive work hours. Uplighters, with their light cast upward towards the ceiling, contribute to a diffuse and general illumination, making them ideal for softer background lighting. Other floor lamps encompass a range of styles for specific decor tastes, while arc lamps bring a touch of elegance and modernity, extending over furniture to provide overhead lighting similar to a pendant light.

When shopping for floor lamps, several properties can guide customers to find the perfect match. Dimmability is often a sought-after feature for its versatility—dimmer lamps can adapt to create either an intimate ambiance or a bright work environment. The application range is crucial too, with most lamps being suitable for indoor use and crafted to complement home decor. The material group signifies the build and can range from sleek metals to classic wood, influencing both durability and style. Bulb socket type is an important technical specification, with E27 often being the standard choice for compatibility, while Smart Home compatibility ensures that the lamp can integrate seamlessly with modern, technology-driven homes.

Delving into our range, EGLO's signature piece, the Covaleda, is a testament to the brand's commitment to design and practicality. Briloner offers its simply named Floor lamp, preferred for its straightforward elegance. The Philips Hue Gradient Signe takes the spotlight for those invested in smart home technology, with its ability to change hues to fit any mood. Krafter delivers on utility with the 80 W Office floor lamp LED in silver, perfect for professional or home office settings. Lastly, the Philips Hue Smart Bundle Gradient Signe showcases how lighting can transform and adapt to different needs, all while maintaining energy efficiency and cutting-edge technology.
