Many home rentals and apartments fail to provide much, if any, overhead lighting, particularly in the living room or family room. Floor lamps are a great way to add much-needed lighting in a discreet, minimalistic way. For this purpose, the best floor lamp type is the torchiere floor lamp, which is straight like a torch with the light pointing upward.
Modern floor lamps are designed with simplicity and function in mind, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. Unique floor lamps are available, giving you more options with your home’s décor. Rustic floor lamps are available for cabins, while farmhouse floor lamps are designed with the farmers of the past in mind.
