We hardly notice their impact one our room decorating is over but perhaps this is because floor lamps have blended in quite uniquely for some households. They seem to be common in most homes and a home without them is tagged as definitely incomplete. With the various designs that they come in, it should not be surprising why there seems to be a specified floor lamp specifically made to blend in any home today.

In interiors, floor lamps serve many more functions than simply illumination. They add verticality to a space and create symmetry when used in pairs. Some have movable parts, bringing light precisely where it’s desired.

Some floor lamp designs introduce a touch of nature into a room. One organic sculptural base from Pottery Barn is composed of gnarled and twisted driftwood. The sustainable vine is harvested from a jungle in northern Thailand, so it’s also eco-friendly.

At Flickr there is a great post on how rustic wood can be used to make beautiful shelving displays. All you need is bracket mounts, old wood and loads of imagination!

Says the flickr user:
“I made these shelves from driftwood I found on the beach. They’re just the right depth for holding my jars of herbs and botanicals for soaping!”
