Design Tips:
- A pair of floor lamps can be used to flank a console table in a foyer or entry.
- Wrought iron floor lamps can have heavy bases. It is important to balance the weight, both physical and visual, of the base with the proper lampshade.
- Wrought iron can be found in a number of finishes including some that resemble antiques or weathered patinas. Not all wrought iron has a black finish.
Wrought iron floor lamps have their origins in wrought iron candelabrum dating back centuries before electrical lamps were invented. The heavy, substantial quality of wrought iron works well in a floor lamp to give it weight and presence in the room, corner or nook—wherever it is placed. The scroll work and simple construction of wrought iron gives these floor lamps a simple elegance that can work in traditional, Tuscan, Spanish or even modern environments and interior styles. Wrought iron floor lamps can have lights that resemble candles, fabric shades or glass shades. These floor lamps typically have multiple lights, mimicking their candle lit predecessors.
Styles
Traditional floor lamps, including wrought iron floor lamps, have an attention to design and detail that sets them apart from other styles. Scrolling arms, scrolled bases and other flourishes, embellishments and details add big style to these floor lamps. Wrought iron floor lamps can be found in other styles in addition to traditional style floor lamps. Other wrought iron floor lamps styles include transitional and rustic floor lamps. Each style has the same quality expected from the craftsmanship of wrought iron floor lamps.
Applications
Wrought iron floor lamps add substance and weight to a space needing additional light. Pair a wrought iron floor lamp with other wrought iron light fixtures like chandeliers, wall sconces and table lamps to create a well balanced lighting profile for a room. Wrought iron looks wonderful in rustic, lodge, Mediterranean, Spanish and Old World style interiors. Use wrought iron floor lamps in living rooms, dens, family rooms, great rooms, foyers, hotels, and offices. These floor lamps can illuminate a corner or provide reading light to a seating area.
