Curated Finds for Kaye | Floor Lamps

Hi Kaye,

Inspired by your brief, I’ve curated a small edit of floor lamps that work with the oak, polished chrome and matt black already in the room, while bringing in a little more personality through shape and texture.

Because your style sits between Scandinavian, contemporary and mid-century, I’ve looked for pieces that feel clean and considered but still have something slightly unexpected about them. Some lean softer and more sculptural, while others pick up the polished metal already in the room in a more playful way.

Stylist’s note: With a floor lamp, I’d think about how it looks switched off just as much as when it’s on. In a sitting room, it can act almost like a piece of furniture or sculpture, so I’d use it to introduce a shape or material the room doesn’t already have.

Jolene Floor Lamp in Chrome/Rust Brown

This is a brilliant lower-priced alternative at £99. The polished silver base ties straight back to the chrome already in your room, while the rust-brown pleated shade adds warmth and stops it feeling too sleek or cold. The slim column and shallow geometric shade give it a definite mid-century feel, but the colour combination makes it much more playful than a standard floor lamp.

Ferm Living

Ancora Floor Lamp

This would be a statement choice. The sculptural black frame picks up the matt black already in the room, but the softly curved linen-blend shade breaks up all that metal and gives the lamp a much warmer, more tactile presence. I love that it feels unmistakably Scandinavian without being predictable, and the unusual anchor-like silhouette gives you the quirky element you asked for. It’s currently discounted by more than 20%, bringing it to around £453, so it still sits within budget.

Wild Flower Floor Reading Lamp

This is the most characterful option in the edit - clean Scandinavian restraint. The slim graphite base keeps it understated, while the hand-beaten aluminium shade brings in a much more sculptural, almost organic shape. I love that it picks up both the matt black and polished metal already in the room, but in a way that feels collected rather than coordinated. The adjustable shade and stem also make it practical beside a reading chair or sofa, so it isn’t just a statement piece.
