Brass floor lamps

About

Brass floor lamps bring height, warmth and a generous pool of light without needing a table beneath them. An antique brass floor lamp has a softly aged character, while cleaner brushed finishes feel more contemporary. Whether you call it a brass floor light, standing lamp or standard lamp, it is rather good at filling the space between overhead lighting and smaller lamps. Our wider floor lamps show just how useful that extra layer can be. Think first about the job. A brass reading floor lamp should place the light over a chair or sofa without shining directly into your eyes, and the directional designs in our reading floor lamps make that particularly straightforward. More decorative brass standing lamps create ambient light instead, adding height to a darker corner and bringing a little gleam to the room even when switched off. The lampshade changes both proportion and atmosphere. A wider shade gives a softer spread of light, while a narrower shape keeps a brass floor lamp looking taller and more tailored. Browse our floor lamp shades with the base measurements to hand, or look at living room floor lamps for ideas on placing a standing light beside seating, shelves and the awkward corners that never seem to get enough glow.
