FLOOR LAMPS FROM KARE DESIGN PUT YOUR ROOMS IN THE RIGHT LIGHT
Whether modern multi-flame floor lamps or lamps made of wood, whether arc lamps in white or black and gold: in the large KARE range you will not only find the right lighting for every occasion, but also the right style for your living space. With our advice, you are sure to find the ideal floor lamp.
THE ADVANTAGES OF KARE DESIGNER FLOOR LAMPS
Ceiling lighting does not always create the right atmosphere. Instead of a large and bright light from above, floor lamps provide indirect and atmospheric lighting. They radiate cosiness or highlight specific areas of the room. The obvious advantages of floor lamps include not only the atmospheric light, but also their flexibility. You don't have to fix floor lamps to the wall or ceiling, but can place them anywhere where there is a socket nearby. If you wish, you can simply move the floor lamp around the room. In addition, swivelling lamp heads and arms can be individually aligned and dimmers allow you to adjust the brightness to your own needs. Floor lamps are therefore versatile and can also wonderfully emphasise your living style.
WHAT TYPES OF FLOOR LAMPS ARE THERE IN THE KARE RANGE?
Floor lamps consist of a frame with a base and a light source. However, there are also several variants that serve different purposes and are therefore used in different rooms. A cosy atmosphere should be created by the lights in the living room. Dimmable floor lamps and a cosy, warm light colour are ideal here. The study, on the other hand, needs targeted and bright lighting. A combination is appropriate in the bedroom, where atmospheric light is also required, but bright lighting is needed for reading in bed or getting dressed. Whether you want to illuminate small rooms or dark corners, focus on a specific area or create a cosy ambience, floor lamps are available in practical and stylish designs. KARE's designer range includes the following types of floor lamps for you to choose from.
Ceiling washlight
The special feature of ceiling washlights is that the light shines upwards without glare. It is reflected by the light-coloured ceiling, gently illuminating the entire room or a dark corner in the room. Ceiling washlights often have an additional reading lamp and also have a dimmer that regulates the brightness. In the KARE range, you will find unique designs among the ceiling washlights: gold-coloured shades in the shape of ginkgo leaves, for example, are stylishly combined with a black lamp base.
Classic Floor lamps
Shade lamps with a straight frame and base are a classic. These floor lamps are usually dimmable and produce soft light that can be varied according to personal requirements. There are models in which the brightness can be regulated using a rotary dimmer or a touch dimmer. Numerous golden floor lamps from the KARE range, including those with tinted glass, are a particularly decorative piece of furniture.
Arc Lights
These floor lamps have a curved frame. These lamps are usually made of metal and have a heavy lamp base as a counterweight. Due to the characteristic arch, they require space and are suitable for larger living areas. However, as the inclination and height of the arc lights can often be adjusted, the light can be focussed on a desired area. The light falls from above or from the side and reaches you when you are reading on the couch, for example. The advantage: the arc lamp does not have to hang directly above you and you can hide the base in a corner. The KARE arc lamps range from purist models with one or more swivelling arms to retro models with a spherical lampshade.
Reading Lights
Reading lamps are often combined with ceiling washlights or other floor lamps. They have an adjustable gooseneck that can be manually aligned and can thus shine light directly onto the book while reading.
Tripod Floor Lamp
The three legs of the frame, which function in a similar way to a camera tripod, give this type of floor lamp its name. This floor lamp is currently in vogue and is particularly effective as a spotlight in large loft flats. You can also find trendy, sculptural tripods in the KARE range.
Multi-Flame Floor Lamps
These models have not just one, but several light sources - the so-called ‘flames’, which can often be swivelled individually. The KARE range also includes numerous floor lamps with three or five swivelling arms - both in shiny chrome metal and in the colour gold and with velvety lampshades.
Stylish floor lamps at KARE Design
Once you have decided on the type of floor lamp, you should consider how the model matches the furnishings. The KARE designer pieces match the modern style, classic in a golden metal look through to country house lamps made of wood.
Floor lamps in country house style
If you are looking for a floor lamp to match the country house style, it is best to choose a frame made of wood and other natural materials such as rattan. Warm colours and subtle, indirect light, such as with a ceiling floodlight, are also suitable for country house furnishings. Lamps with ornate details look particularly beautiful. Ornate metal bases are also available in the KARE range. Typically Scandinavian are floor lamps with a wooden base and a lampshade in white or cream.
Floor lamps with a modern look
Slim and minimalist floor lamps add a modern touch. The style is characterised above all by simple shapes and straight lines, and there are also arc lamps with a modern look. Modern floor lamps usually have a long, narrow neck made of metal or stainless steel. There is a small light source at the upper end. The colour white is often chosen to blend into the interior as simply as possible. The industrial style can also be combined with modern floor lamps. Tripod models with spotlights and darker shades and black frames are popular for this.
NATURAL WOOD, ELEGANT METAL - KARE DESIGNER FLOOR LAMPS MADE FROM THE RIGHT MATERIAL
Whether in country house style or with a modern look - the material of the floor lamps is important. The KARE range offers high-quality materials with different visual effects. Most lamps are made of plastic and textile, usually in combination. However, metal, paper and wood are also possible and special style highlights are floor lamps made of copper, chrome, concrete and brass.
Wooden floor lamps
Floor lights made of wood have a natural and rustic look. The stable and traditional material can be combined with different furnishing styles and spreads cosiness with its warm light. It becomes romantic with playful decorations and lampshades made of light-coloured fabric.
Stainless steel floor lamps
The cool character of stainless steel makes lamps made of this material look very modern. These floor lamps often have minimalist and slender frames, but unusual floor lamps made of stainless steel also look good in designer homes.
Metal floor lamps
Floor lamps made of metal such as aluminium, chrome or copper also suit the minimalist style. The lines of these are usually straight and the shapes geometric. The general advantage of metal is that the material is flexible to work with. After its long service life, it is also recyclable.
Floor lamp with fabric shade
Classic floor lamps have a textile lampshade. On the one hand, the light radiates subtle warmth through the fabric. On the other hand, the light concentrated by the shade can be used specifically for reading.
Floor lamps with glass shade
Glass shades are very translucent and therefore well suited if you want to illuminate dark corners. Depending on the colour of the glass, you can also create effects with the light. One thing is clear: you can always achieve an elegant look with glass.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A FLOOR LAMP?
The type of light bulb naturally plays a role. Energy-saving bulbs are very energy-efficient and save electricity. These bulbs also have a long service life and are available for almost every socket. Halogen bulbs also last a long time and produce a pleasant, warm light. LED lamps not only have a long service life, but also a very high luminosity. In addition to light intensity and light colour, you should note that not all light sources are suitable for dimming. Read the manufacturer's information on this.
