Lights, camera, action!

Gumball
Available in copper, silver, and gold, this adjustable gumball-shaped metal floor lamp is perfect for those looking for simplicity with a touch of character. The gumball fixture won’t disappoint those looking for a change from a traditional floor lamp.

Boho
A paper lantern instantly adds mellow vibes and casual style to any room. This lamp was designed in the early 1950s with Japanese and modern elegance in mind. If Mjölk’s price point isn’t for you, Ikea offers an affordable rice paper version.
10A Akari Floor Lamp by Isamu Noguchi, $605, Mjölk.
Tripod
Looking for a little history in your abode? Pottery Barn’s Gibson Tripod Floor Lamp is a modern take on the historical tripod light that once served as a surveyor’s light during the age of exploration. Its solid wood legs make for a perfect addition in any rustic setting.

The arc
Pair this arc lamp with your sofa or to create a perfect reading nook. We love the way it hovers over, and with its unequivocal flair, this statement lamp that will bring the whole room together.
Kaslo floor lamp, $399, EQ3.
Glass act
This lamp is stealing our hearts right now, with its unique aesthetic of several stacked glass spheres along the base and a natural linen shade on top. Place it in your living room and you’ve got a conversation piece, and a class act, indeed.
Abacus floor lamp, $399, West Elm.
Go all out
Make a big impression without taking up too much space with this all-brass lamp. Unlike traditional lampshades, its antique brass shade blends in with its base, creating a clean and classy finish. The marble base adds heightened appeal.
Astro floor lamp, $289, Crate & Barrel.
Bold, brass, and beautiful
We can’t get enough of brass right now. Pair a brass lamp with furniture of the same family to create a warm atmosphere. This lamp from Crate & Barrel offers pure grace with its mid-century curves and drum lampshade.
Melrose Floor Lamp, $399, Crate & Barrel.
The swing arm
Traditionally associated as “task lamps” for work environments, it’s safe to say the swing-arm has graduated to bigger and better things. While this white swing-arm fits perfectly in an office, it’d happily reside in the living room or bedroom just as effortlessly. We love the combination of white with gold hardware.
Ranarmp floor lamp, $60, Ikea.
