Shine the Light on Your Personal Style with Contemporary Floor Lamps

Contemporary floor lamps sure seem to be popular these days. Characterized by clean lines, minimalism, and brilliant geometry, contemporary design is a great way to express the concept of "less is more".

Contemporary floor lamps are also versatile, allowing you to create many looks through the use of tiffany style lamp shades, asian influences, or torchieres.

Not ready for that "new wave" look, how about mixing and matching, contemporary and traditional design styles?

Pick a contemporary base and give it more traditional shade...or vice versa. This is your room, this is your style, you can do whatever you want!

How about these for some ideas:

Arco Style Floor Lamp with Flat Marble Base - Contemporary Design - love the marble base and modern styling - EMassive.com

Contemporary Asian Mosko Floor Lamp - Subtle Asian styling that could pass for mission as well - EMassive.com

Apex Floor & Table Lamps - Simple and Elegant Design from HomeVisions.com

Sobe Floor Lamp - Minimalistic look with fruitwood accentsfrom HomeVisions.com

So...now you know about some options, but where do put a floor lamp anyway?

Floor Lamp Placement, Science or Style?

Well we hope there's not too much science involved, unless your living room is the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise. (We are kind of boldly going where no one has gone before, though.)

Here's a few things to think about when deciding where your floor lamps will go...

Where is your primary light source and how good is it? – do you have a light fixture in the center of your space or does most of the light come from another source, say recessed lighting over the mantle?

Are you creating a room within a room…like a sitting or reading area?--A floor lamp is great way to get just the right amount of light into that kind of area. Plus, it leaves your tables open for other accents.

Are you using table lamps as well…where are they placed within your living room?-- You don’t want lamps on top of lamps. That might look funny and your electric bill might look a bit funny too!

Lamps Are Cool...And More Than Just Something to Read By

Lamps aren't just functional...they're a living room accent when you think about it.

With the wide variety of shapes, styles and uses, lamps not only bring light to your most popular space, they bring style and that expression of "you" that's so important.

Our favorites are contemporary floor lamps, but don't limit yourself, crossing styles isn't bad. Does it work for you? Good. That's all that matters.

Enjoy our ideas on contemporary floor lamps and remember...the style is yours...the choice is yours.
