These 15 Best Floor Lamps for Living Rooms Are Practical and Beautiful

This simple floor lamp from Walmart is versatile and will go with a variety of decor styles. And for under $30, it comes at a great value, too. The flexible lamp head allows you to turn the light where needed, while a matte black metal frame keeps it sturdy.

While you can certainly find a beautiful floor lamp at a reasonable price, sometimes you feel like splurging! And if that’s the case, this marble Pottery Barn floor lamp is worth the investment. Its metal frame curves elegantly into two prongs. One holds a large gallery lamp shade, while the other turns into a marble drink table. Considering you get two pieces of decor for one, we’d say that’s a pretty good bargain. 

This bestselling CB2 lamp has three adjustable heads that can be turned on all at once or one at a time, allowing for bespoke lighting. The sturdy cylindrical base is made of iron and comes in a brass or matte black finish.

This unique lamp is for those who want a sculptural centerpiece to bring their living room together. It doubles as a functional light as well as a work of art. Featured are three opal glass domes and a chromatic silver exterior. Because of its frosted glass, the projected light is more diffused, creating a soft, warm glow.

This futuristic modern floor lamp has LED lights built into a linear metal shade, while the marble base adds minimalistic style to its sleek silhouette. It’s dimmable and the light has up to a 50,000-hour life span before it needs replacing—well over five years of constant use!

Floor lamps with shelves are a great small-space hack. This Amazon floor lamp goes a step further with a wireless charging station, too. It has three shelves that can hold everything from books to picture frames to plants or speakers. (Each shelf can hold a whopping 30 pounds!)

One of the hallmarks of mid-century modern design is the globe shade, and this Wayfair lamp is the perfect example of that tasteful element. Its gold matte finish also evokes a simple, beautiful style that feels very luxurious. It comes complete with a dimmable pedal switch as well, compatible with smart plugs, so you can buy one to control the lamp via your smartphone.

For those who prefer something more rustic, this Birch Lane floor lamp features a natural light-colored woodgrain base and a traditional white fabric shade. It’s understated, sophisticated, and will blend beautifully into any living room.

This is another gorgeous wooden floor lamp option, complete with three legs that taper outwards. The brass accents provide a modern spin on the more traditional wood and fabric materials, while the lightly stained oak adds just the right amount of intrigue.

An arc (or arch) floor lamp will add height and dimension to a room without taking up too much floorspace. And if you’re working with ceilings that aren’t super high, a lamp with a unique silhouette like this will work well to open up the room. It has a black marble base, while a thin gold arm leads up to a rounded fabric shade.

If you’re not a fan of classic fabric shades but still want the modern arched look, this antique brass lamp is a beautiful option that will add elegance and a touch of mystique. And because of its craftsmanship, it looks like it’s straight out of a design magazine.

Floor lamps can be both traditional looking and have smart functionality, as this smart LED floor lamp proves. You can connect it to Alexa or Google Assistant, which allows you to change its colors or turn it on and off. There’s a microphone inside the lamp as well, which can create light shows to music if you so choose. You can alter from cool to warm light settings, and it’s also dimmable.

This task lamp from Wayfair has an adjustable arm to allow movement at any angle, as well as a knob that adjusts its height. Its bronze-plated finish feels vintage and eclectic, while the steel inside is durable so it won’t tip over.

This dimmable lamp has a foot switch, but it also comes with a handy remote control that allows you to dim the light from afar. (The remote can stick to the lamp base magnetically, too.) You can also turn on automatic settings for lights that adapt to nighttime, computer work, reading, and more. It has a light arch at the top as well as a fabric shade. 

For maximalist decor fans who can’t imagine purchasing anything without a pop of color, this mushroom floor lamp from Etsy is the perfect find. It features a retro, dome-shaped shade and also comes in seven colorways.
