A floor lamp doesn’t just light up a room; it redefines it. With its striking stature and elegant glow, a designer floor light can make an unforgettable impact.

Add an Italian touch with striking designs from Artemide and Flos. Our curated collection celebrates both timeless 20th-century designs and contemporary creations from Nordic and global brands.

Tips for choosing the perfect floor lamp

• Match your space: Match the size and style of the floor lamp to the dimensions and decor of the room. Choose a lamp that complements the existing interior while adding its own unique touch. In spacious areas, a dramatic mid-century modern floor lamp or an arched design can become a centerpiece. For smaller rooms, a minimalist or tripod floor lamp ensures you maintain an open and airy feel.

• Direct or ambient light: The type of light a floor lamp provides is a crucial factor. Lamps offering direct light are ideal for reading or work tasks, as they focus illumination on a specific area. Meanwhile, lamps with diffused light create a gentle and peaceful atmosphere, making them perfect for general lighting or cozy corners.

• Technical features: While classic floor lamps tend to have simpler functions, modern designs often include advanced features like touch controls, built-in LED light sources or timers. Adjustable arms and tiltable shades provide flexibility, allowing you to direct light wherever it's needed. At Finnish Design Shop, you'll also find a wide selection of dimmable floor lamps for even greater versatility.

Designer floor lamps in a palette of colors and materials

• Touch of timber: Wooden floor lamps bring a slice of nature into your home, setting the stage for a welcoming, cozy vibe.

• Metallic brilliance: Sleek metal floor lamps and glowing brass floor lights combine durability with elegance, making them a stunning addition to any room.

• Charm with fabric or paper: Floor lamps topped with fabric or paper shades cast a soft, diffused light, creating a serene ambience.

• Neutral classics: A black floor lamp or a white floor lamp stands as a timeless classic, effortlessly fitting into any decor. Beige and gray floor lamps, too, blend seamlessly into an understated minimalist theme.

• Splash of color: Brighten up a corner with a vibrant blue floor lamp, a cheerful yellow floor lamp, or a bold red floor lamp, a cheerful accent that spreads jovial vibes throughout the room.
