Let Your Style Shine With Task Floor Lamps

Whether you're reading your favorite book in an armchair or sitting down at a desk, having task lighting is essential. Enjoy the lighting you need while making a clear style statement in your space by decorating with task floor lamps from Pottery Barn. Not only do they provide the correct amount of lighting to prevent eye strain, but they can also enhance the architectural interest of the space by adding captivating style lines and dimensional details.

Choosing Task Floor Lamps For Any Space

Lighting fixtures are some of the most important design elements of any space. Each of the thoughtful designs in this collection boasts intricate details intended to be both fashionable and functional. As you search for the one that will light up your favorite seat in the house, take note of these features:

• Adjustable Arms: When it comes to task lighting, the bulb has to shine down precisely where you need the light the most. Most great task lights feature at least one point of adjustment and often more, making it easy to customize the fixture to suit the height and angle of your nook.
• Overall Style: Improving the function of the space doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. Choose a lighting fixture that coordinates with your existing decor while playing off the design theme of the room. Pulley details provide an industrial edge while enameled shades offer a vintage-inspired look. When it comes to keeping things classic and timeless, opt for a floor lamp with a glass shade.
• Color and Finish: Whether you love the eye-catching flavor of a metallic floor lamp or the subtle sophistication of a lamp with a black finish, you'll find a range of colors and finishes destined to suit your style needs. Before you make your final selections, take a look around the room and look at the existing finishes around the space.

Select Coordinating Lighting Fixtures

Floor lamps are just one of the lighting requirements for any room. Overhead lighting and ambient lighting both play an important role as well. When you are standing in the room, all the fixtures within sight should reflect the same design style and color palette. Coordinate your task light to be the ideal pairing to any overhead fixtures, table lamps and wall sconces used in the home. Consider placing a small side table beside the seat you're illuminating so you'll always have a place to set a cup of coffee or a book.
