Seeking a floor lamp that is a stand out? Floor lamps add vertical dimension to a room design and offer an interruption from the horizontal lines of the sofa, chairs and tables. They are a great way to finish a space and brighten a corner or provide a great light source for reading your novel or newspaper.

Floor lamps also save space if you are space challenged. Oversize shades are currently popular and they shed a wide, diffuse glow in the room. In contrast an adjustable arm lamp is ideal for reading since the light is cast just where you want it.

Here are some favorites of mine in a variety of styles to consider for your home.
