Bamboo and rattan floor lamps

To light a living room, start with a height of 180 to 250 cm with a wide-reaching arc, or 150 cm with a stem and adjustable spotlights for a reading corner. The large E27 base fits most models with a shade, while E14 is used for the spotlight version. All are IP20, so for dry indoor use.

Which bamboo and rattan floor lamp should you choose for the living room?

For a living room, aim for a bamboo and rattan floor lamp around 150 to 250 cm high, tall enough to light above a sofa or armchair without glare. The reach of the arc pushes the light towards the reading area, while a straight stem slips into a corner.

Natural bamboo and rattan floor lamps

The light weave and bamboo stem soften the light and warm a white wall without overwhelming it. Stick to a maximum of three visible materials, for example rattan, bamboo and the black metal that holds the structure. Our selection of bamboo floor lamps for the living room brings together these light stems, and the more enveloping shapes can be found in the rattan models dedicated to the living room.

Actual heights range from 150 cm for the spotlight stem, 180 and 210 cm for short arcs, up to 220 and 250 cm for large arcs. The reach extends from 160 to 240 cm: measure the distance between the base and the seat to be lit before choosing. The Suvani arc floor lamp illustrates this format, with its round 60 cm diameter shade.

Woven rattan or bamboo: what difference does the material make to the light?

Woven rattan filters the light and creates soft shadows, bamboo brings more regular lines, often on the stem or the shade. Both pair well with the black metal that holds the structure. The result varies depending on whether the shade is round or cylindrical.

Bamboo and woven rattan floor lamps

A tight weave lets less light through and projects a regular pattern on the wall and ceiling; a more open weave lights more and marks the shadows more strongly. The Rotineo and its woven cylindrical shade combines rattan, bamboo, steel and stainless steel on an articulated arm. The weave should be dusted dry, never with water.

Rattan lamp: the effect depending on the shade shape

A round 60 cm shade diffuses widely downwards and lights a whole table or sofa, while a cylindrical shape narrows the beam and directs it. Three cylinders on the same arc multiply the sources and fill the back of a room. For a stronger effect, look at the vintage-inspired rattan or the vintage-inspired pieces.

In which rooms should you install a rattan and bamboo floor lamp?

These floor lamps stand on the floor in the living room, where they create a reading corner, but also in the bedroom, near an armchair or a chest of drawers, and in the dining room to light the back of the room. All are IP20: dry indoor use only.

In the living room, alongside the sofa

An arc of 210 to 250 cm with 160 to 240 cm of reach pushes the light above the seat without taking up the coffee table, with the base staying in the corner. To complete the room, pick from living room LED lighting.

In the bedroom and dining room: height and intensity

In the bedroom, a 150 cm stem and low light are enough near an armchair: the Bambus floor lamp with adjustable spotlights suits this use with its E14 base. In the dining room, an arc with several shades such as the Liéro arc with three shades lights the back of the room without competing with the pendant above the table. IP20 rules out the bathroom, damp conservatory and outdoor use.

White, beige or black bamboo and rattan floor lamps: which colour should you choose?

White and beige visually lighten the room and blend into a light interior, black defines the structure and brings out the natural weave, brown echoes the tone of wood. All these finishes work well with raw rattan.

White bamboo and rattan floor lamps

On a white wall or light wood floor, the white version blends in and lets the weave stand out. See the modern white versions for this type of pairing.

Beige bamboo and rattan floor lamps

Beige is the shade closest to natural rattan: it extends the weave without creating a break and warms a room with grey tones.

Pairing black, brown and raw rattan

A black structure contrasts with the light weave and keeps the room readable, as on the black metal structures or the black LED floor lamps. With a rattan cantilever chair, stick to a maximum of two or three materials, for example rattan, black metal and wood: the floor lamp extends the furniture instead of competing with it. Brown echoes the tone of wood when your furniture is dark.

Which bulb and base for a bamboo and rattan floor lamp?

Most models take a screw-in bulb with an E27 base, while the small E14 base is used on the adjustable spotlight version. The stated wattage goes up to 40 W and part of the selection is fitted with warm white LED, between 2700 and 3500 K.

E27 or E14 base: which should you choose?

E27 is the large screw base, the one used for round and cylindrical shades: the bulb can be replaced in one movement. E14 is narrower and reserved for adjustable spotlights. In both cases, respect the stated maximum wattage of 40 W on the models concerned.

Warm white 2700-3500 K: the atmosphere you get

Around 2700 K, the light leans towards amber and suits the evening; towards 3500 K, it stays warm but a little more neutral for reading. Part of the selection includes warm white LED, elsewhere the bulb is chosen separately. Look at the modern design LED floor lamps or the full lighting selection to harmonise temperatures throughout the home.

Bamboo and rattan floor lamp with dimmer or adjustable spotlights: what uses?

Part of the selection accepts a dimmer: the light dims for a film in the evening without turning off the room. Models with adjustable spotlights direct the beam towards a book or a wall, handy when the sofa and the reading corner do not need the same intensity.

Adjustable spotlights: lighting a specific area

The Bambus floor lamp reaches 150 cm and carries two spotlights on a black stem with an E14 base: you turn them towards the book or the wall as needed. Other adjustable spotlight models follow the same logic.

Dimmer: adapting the evening atmosphere

The dimmer is not present on all models: check the product page before buying. Where it exists, it is mainly useful in the evening, when you want to dim without turning off. The design LED floor lamps collection brings together several configurations.

How to install and care for a rattan and bamboo floor lamp?

The floor lamp stands on the floor without wall fixing: you assemble the base, screw on the shade then the bulb into the base. Rattan and bamboo should be dusted with a dry cloth or a soft brush. The selection comes with a two-year guarantee.

Assembling and stabilising the floor lamp

Allow floor space for the base plus the reach of the arc, up to 240 cm: an arc passing above a sofa needs clearance behind the seat. Tighten the screws by hand, place the base flat, then screw the bulb into the base.

Cleaning rattan and bamboo without damaging them

A dry cloth or a soft brush removes dust caught in the weave. Avoid a damp sponge and wet products, which weaken the fibres and the joints. As the rating is IP20, these pieces stay in a dry area.

Cheap bamboo and rattan floor lamps: where does the budget go?

The budget depends mainly on the structure, the number of light points and whether a dimmer is included. A simple stem with a single shade stays at the entry level, while a wide-reaching arc or three cylindrical shades sit higher, in the statement piece range.

What pushes the budget up

The amount of material, the length of the reach, the number of shades, the integrated warm white LED and the dimmer weigh the most. A model with three sources requires more material and more assembly than a single stem.

Accessible models, statement pieces

A metal and bamboo spotlight stem remains the most understated option, with a single light point. A large arc with three shades sits at the top of the selection. To see the differences, compare with the wooden floor lamps for the living room, the wood and metal combination and the design metal floor lamps. The current price is shown on each product page.
