Lighting is always the hardest to commit to! Whenever I'm looking for a new table lamp or floor lamp, it takes me forever to actually buy one. I recently had to search for a floor lamp for my living room, so I thought I'd share some of my favourite finds. I ended up going with this Adjustable Metal Floor Lamp from West Elm. I love the polished nickel finish, and the fact that I can change the height depending on the task (for example reading a book versus general lighting while hosting a party).

It's over-sized scale would really make an impact in a space - both functionally and visually! Above - Atlas Floor Lamp in white - Urban Barn - Image via.

Would be perfect in a library or by a single arm chair. Above - Rowan Pharmacy Task Floor Lamp in Polished Nickel from Restoration Hardware - Image via.

Bonus - the base can be tucked away out of any general traffic paths. Above - A R C Floorlamp from Structube - Image via. Structube
