The right lighting can transform a room into a cozy haven or a bright, beautiful sanctuary. The best floor lamps complement your furniture and design choices, and most importantly, they add that special something that makes your space feel so you. And your chosen lighting fixture can make a statement in its own right. Just like an accent rug or gorgeous wall art, floor lamps add that finishing touch that brings a room together, no matter your decor aesthetic.

How do you find the perfect floor lamp for your space? When buying statement lighting, think about your home's natural flow and where the eye naturally moves about a room. That empty corner that needs a little love? Add some sculptural statement lighting to give it a little oomph. Where do you settle in to read and need an extra ray of light in your space? Your floor lamp should be functional and beautiful, so consider the ambiance you want to create with your lighting. As for height, the best floor lamp height is about eye level, but your lamp choice could be higher or lower based on the height of your other furniture.

Find the best floor lamp to express your style in whatever room you're envisioning with these unique statement lighting picks.
