Floor lamp fish

Start with the height: the floor lamps in this selection range from 139 cm to 184 cm, and the Kaliso adjusts from 133 to 184 cm. Then check the footprint, the material of the base and the shape of the shade, then the free space near the sofa.

Which floor lamp should you choose for a living room?

A floor lamp is chosen first by its height: the models in this selection range from 139 cm to 184 cm, and the Kaliso adjusts from 133 to 184 cm. Then check the footprint, the material of the base and the shape of the shade, then the space available near the sofa.

Original living room floor lamp: what height should you plan for?

A stem of 139 to 184 cm places the shade above the seat, without dazzling a seated person. The Lorara floor lamp with a gold stem peaks at 139 cm, practical under a low ceiling. The Nerina floor lamp with a giraffe base goes up to 179 cm. For a desk, the Kaliso floor lamp with a flexible arm adjusts from 133 to 184 cm.

Fish floor lamp: which room should you put it in?

The living room remains the main destination, and the bedroom follows in most cases. The Lorara and the Nerina suit both. The Argentia and the Kaliso add a desk use, the latter thanks to its flexible arm. To broaden your search, browse all our lighting.

Original or classic floor lamp: which style for the living room?

The models in this collection lean contemporary and modern, with a few more rustic or original pieces. The style shows in the shape of the base, the colour and the shade: a gold stem with a black shade, a white base with a cylindrical shade, or a slanted stem with a pleated shade.

Which base and shade colours should you choose?

Black dominates the selection, followed by gold, then white, silver and brown. A neutral shade fits anywhere: the white Nerina brightens a light room, the Argentia floor lamp in brushed steel combines silver with glass and metal, the Lorara pairs a gold stem with a black shade.

How do you match the fish pattern with a understated room?

Keep one strong piece. A neutral shade carries the rest of the decor and the pattern does not scatter. A dark stem with a light shade crosses a living room with white walls without weighing it down. The Nessa floor lamp with a pleated shade plays this role with its black, gold and beige tones. See also our lighting universe.

Halogen or LED floor lamp: which light for the living room?

The LED floor lamps in this selection emit a warm white between 2700 and 3500 K, the tone that suits the living room and the bedroom. A halogen heats more and consumes more; models with an LED socket let you replace the bulb without changing the fixture.

Halogen floor lamp with dimmer: how does it adjust?

A dimmer adjusts the intensity without changing the source and is controlled from the fixture. In this selection, the Argentia, the Kaliso and the Nessa are dimmable, fitted with LED or an LED socket. The gesture is used to lower the light at the end of the evening without turning the room off completely.

Halogen living room floor lamp: should you replace the bulb?

A fixture with an LED socket lets you change the source without changing the base, which avoids buying a new floor lamp every time a bulb dies. Models with integrated LED are replaced as a whole. The detail appears on each model's page, to read before buying. Find the rest of the selection in choosing your lighting well.

Ball, tube or flexible arm floor lamp: which shape for which use?

The bases in this collection are mostly tubes, with a few ball shapes. A straight stem lights a wide area; a flexible arm or a slanted stem directs the light towards an armchair, a sofa or a reading surface. The choice depends mainly on the use, ambience or targeted lighting.

Ball floor lamp: for which ambience?

A ball base concentrates the light in a rounded volume that lights widely around it. Reserve it for a relaxation corner, near a pouf or a low bookcase. To light a wide, even area, a straight stem does a better job.

Flexible arm or slanted stem: for reading or working?

The flexible arm of the Kaliso adjusts to aim at the point to be lit, armchair or work surface. The slanted stem of the Nessa directs the pleated shade towards an offset seat. These two shapes replace a reading lamp without taking up the table. Complete with the lighting range.

How do you install and maintain a living room floor lamp?

Plan a socket nearby: the Kaliso comes with a 180 cm cable and an adjustable height from 133 to 184 cm. Place the fixture on a flat floor, out of walkways, then dust the shade dry and check the tightness of the base and the bulb.

Where should you place the socket in relation to the floor lamp?

The longest cable listed measures 180 cm, on the Kaliso. Place the socket within that radius, behind the sofa or along a skirting board. A shorter cable forces you to move the furniture or add an extension lead, which shows on the floor. The base must remain stable, out of the walkway.

How do you maintain a fabric, linen or resin shade?

A soft, dry cloth is enough for fabric, linen and resin. No water or product on the electrical parts. Check from time to time the tightness of the stem, the base and the bulb. The Nerina has a foot switch, practical without bending down. The base must remain stable, out of the walkway.

Fish wall light and fish wall light: how do you complete the lighting?

A wall light is fixed to the wall and lights upwards or downwards, where a floor lamp lights from the floor. The two combine in a living room: the wall light for the wall and the walkways, the floor lamp for the sofa corner and reading.

Wall light or floor lamp: which should you choose?

The wall light frees the floor and lights a wall or a corridor. The floor lamp, on the other hand, brings the light closer to the seat and moves when the room changes. If you lack floor space, the wall light has the advantage; if you are looking for a low ambience light, the floor lamp goes further.

How do you combine the two in a living room?

Stick to the same colour family: black with black, gold with gold. A wall light on the wall and the Lorara with its gold stem hold the same line. This collection brings together floor fixtures to match; wall lights are found in the other lighting in the home.

Toilet floor lamp: what should you check before installing?

All the models in this collection are rated IP20, a protection reserved for dry rooms such as the living room, the bedroom or the office. In a damp toilet, a fixture with a higher protection rating is better. A floor lamp will suit a spacious, dry toilet, placed out of the walkway.

Can a floor lamp go in a toilet?

In a dry and fairly large toilet, yes: the fixture is placed on the floor, out of the walkway and away from water splashes. The IP20 rating of the selection limits it to these conditions. A narrow or damp toilet calls for a better protected wall solution.

What protection for a damp room?

In general, a damp room requires a higher IP rating, as IP20 does not protect against splashes. The figure to the right of the IP concerns water: the higher it goes, the more the fixture resists humidity. For a toilet or a bathroom, a suitable model is better, outside this selection. Compare with the complete lighting collection.

How do you match your floor lamp with the rest of the living room?

First identify the dominant colour: black, gold, white, silver or brown depending on the models. Match the finish of the base with the other metals in the room, and the shade with the textiles. One floor lamp is enough to set an ambience, without multiplying the sources.

How many light sources should you plan for in a living room?

Vary the heights rather than multiplying floor lamps: a low source near the sofa, a medium one on a piece of furniture, a high one on the ceiling. This distribution creates zones without lighting the room uniformly. A single well-placed fish floor lamp is often enough to change the ambience.

How do you balance a dark room?

Light upwards with a light shade and a warm white, around 2700 K: the light bounces off the ceiling and lights without dazzling. Add a low source for the seats. The white Nerina and the silver Argentia play this role well in a dimly lit room. More ideas in living room lighting guide.

What budget should you plan and what services for a living room floor lamp?

The budget for a floor lamp depends on the material and the finish: resin and fabric remain more affordable, metal and glass are higher. Designix offers secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and customer service, with a 2-year warranty on the selection.

Why do finishes make the budget vary?

A resin base or a fabric shade is simpler to manufacture than a metal and glass assembly. The gold finish, brushed steel and pleated shapes add steps. The price shown in the grid is the price of the day, each model has its own page.

What does the Designix customer service include?

Advice before purchase, on the height or material suited to your room, and follow-up after the order. Payment is secure, delivery is tracked, and returns are provided if the model does not suit. The 2-year warranty covers the whole selection. See the lighting selection.
