One of the joys of home decorating is bringing home a beautiful floor lamp that's just the one you've been looking for.
Such a lamp can provide the perfect new accent for a living room, or an office—by cozying up a corner, standing tall and bouncing light off the ceiling, arching over a sofa, or adding a subtle, sculptural glow.
There's no better place to begin your search for the perfect lamp than with the ten mid-century floor-lamp stylings featured in the new Winter '22 issue of CA-Modern magazine. Our story, 'Illuminating Icons,' profiles some of the most unique designs available on the market today.

But what do floor lamps bring to our lives? "They're essential in order to properly balance a room's mix of lighting," explains Della Hardy of Practical Props, a specialty lighting retailer in Los Angeles that sells quality reproduction mid-century lighting. "They're also one of the easiest ways to quickly switch up a room's decor without making too much of a commitment or financial investment."
Often overlooked, floor lamps can be a stylish option that provides just the right level of lighting for your home. Our selections featured in 'Illuminating Icons' are a mix of iconic vintage and contemporary styles that are smart, stylish, and functional.
"By far the most trending metal finish for floor lamps is brass, often mix-and-matched with matte-black hardware or black-and-gold shades," says Hardy. Another consistent favorite among both homeowners and professional designers are brass-and-wood lamps.

A particularly handsome offering featured in our story that neatly fits the bill is the 'Triple-Header,' a three-arm cone standing lamp with perforated shades in midnight matte black and antiqued brass from houzz.com.
A design originally conceived by Michael Anastassiades is the 'FLOS IC F2' from lumens.com. You may have seen the original in magazine spreads, as it is a favorite choice in high-end interior décor.
