Have you just finished furnishing your home and are faced with the choice of the ideal lighting? Or maybe you want to bring a breath of fresh air to the lights of your favorite spaces, but you tend to constantly be indecisive? Don't worry!
In this article, we will present you with two distinct alternatives: floor lamps and table lamps, highlighting the main differences and suggesting, for certain points, some options directly from our catalog!
First of all, it is essential to specify that floor lamps and table lamps are both types of interior lighting, but they differ from each other in some aspects in terms of design, functionality and positioning.
Height and positioning
- Floor lamps : These are vertical lamps that usually have a significant height , often around 1.5-2 meters or more, and can be placed on the ground or mounted on the floor. Due to their size and weight, but also because of the need for a power outlet, they tend to take up a fixed place in the interior of various environments.
- Floor lamps : They are designed to be placed on tables, bedside tables or other support surfaces. They are generally lower and, thanks to their small size and low weight, can be easily transported to different points within the room and are often powered by traditional power outlets or USB sockets.
Directional Lighting
- Floor lamps : They can have flexible arms or adjustable heads, allowing you to direct the light in various directions. In this sense, the MAISON floor lamp cannot go unmentioned: with its adjustable light point, it can highlight specific details of the environment.
- Floor lamps : Usually more fixed, some still offer adjustable arms or orientable heads to meet individual needs. The ARTIFEX table lamp could be an interesting choice for those who prefer a modern, original style : metal structure, orientable, with removable body that makes it versatile to anchor it, for example, to desks... Another plus point? It makes you think of Pixar, the American animation studio!
Functional use
- Floor lamps: Ideal for illuminating large areas of a room, floor lamps diffuse a warm light that contributes to general lighting. Strategically positioned, they can transform an environment, creating welcoming atmospheres in conversation areas or providing more diffused light in large spaces such as living rooms or dining rooms .
- Table Lamps : Thanks to their compact size, table lamps are perfect for illuminating specific areas and creating concentrated points of light. They are ideal for situations where you need directional light (reading a book on the desk), enjoying an intimate dinner at the dining table or creating a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom by placing them on the bedside tables.
Design and style
-
Plants :
- The modern floor lamps They are distinguished by clean lines and minimalism, often using materials such as metal or steel.
- For one style more classic , floor lamps can feature carved details, fine wood finishes or antique brass.
- Contemporary styles influence floor lamps with bold options, unique geometries or innovative material combinations. An example of this trend is the PORTAL pendant floor lamp : a modern example of elegance and functionality for the home, with a white or black metal structure, which offers a clean and contemporary look suitable for a variety of environments. The suspension adds a touch of modernity, creating a visual effect that integrates harmoniously with the surrounding furnishings.
- The floor lamps inspired by the industrial style They can have sturdy details and metal structures, adding character and modernity to the environment.
- Table lamps :
- For a modern touch , you can choose lamps with clear glass or shiny metal bases.
- For a more classic style , lamps with ceramic bases, fabric lampshades and elegant finishes create a refined and timeless atmosphere.
- In the contemporary style , it is advisable to opt for clean and geometric lines , the use of innovative materials such as metal and glass, bold colors and a minimalist design . They often integrate modern technologies , presenting innovative shapes and styles that challenge traditional conventions.
- Industrial styles can feature robust details and materials such as iron or aluminium: the AMARCORD table lamp is iconic in this sense, conveying the charm of the old days.
In conclusion…
We recommend that you carefully consider the characteristics of each option to adapt the lighting to your preferences and the different needs of the spaces in your home. Floor lamps, with their significant height, are ideal for illuminating large areas, creating welcoming atmospheres or providing general lighting. On the other hand, table lamps, with their compact dimensions, are perfect for concentrating light on specific areas, such as desks or bedside tables, creating concentrated points of light.
