Placement & Height

Corners & Ambient Light

A stepped torchiere with a frosted bowl in a corner delivers warm upward wash that lifts a whole room. Position torchieres at roughly 62 to 72 inches in height.

Reading Corners

Beside a chair, position the bottom of the shade at roughly 48 to 52 inches from the floor so light falls on the page without glare from a seated position.

Living Rooms

An angular standard lamp beside seating adds task light and reinforces the room’s geometry without occupying surface space.

Art Deco Floor Lamp FAQs

What is a torchiere?

A torchiere is a floor lamp that directs light upward, reflecting it off the ceiling for soft, even ambient light. The stepped column torchiere in brass or chrome is one of the signature Art Deco floor lamp forms.

How tall should an Art Deco floor lamp be?

Torchieres generally stand 62 to 72 inches for effective upward wash. For reading lamps, position the bottom of the shade at roughly 48 to 52 inches from the floor so light falls on the page without glare.

Where should I place a floor lamp?

Torchieres work best in corners, where uplight balances the room. Reading lamps belong beside or slightly behind a chair. In Deco rooms, a symmetrical pair often reads better than a single lamp.

Are these floor lamps dimmable?

Many include an integrated dimmer or dim with a compatible bulb on a plug-in dimmer. For integrated-LED models, check the product page for the dimming method.

What bulbs suit a Deco floor lamp?

Warm white around 2700K suits brass, chrome, and frosted glass. For torchieres, higher output helps since the light is bounced off the ceiling rather than delivered directly.

Where can I buy Art Deco floor lamps in Canada?

Buying guide
How to Choose Art Deco Floor Lamps

Form, height, shade type, and finish determine how Art Deco floor lamps perform as sculptural statement objects.

Choose the form
Stepped column torchieres in polished brass with frosted glass bowls are the most characteristically Art Deco floor lamp form — the stepped geometric silhouette and upward ambient wash reference the architectural lighting of great Art Deco hotel lobbies. Figural bronze floor lamps with stylized human or animal forms reference the period's fascination with Egyptian and modernist figural sculpture. Angular geometric standard lamps in black and gold suit living rooms and studies where reading light is the priority.
Create glamorous impact
Art Deco floor lamps are statement objects. Position them where the stepped column silhouette or sculptural figural base reads as an architectural element of the room — corner of a living room, beside a velvet lounge chair, flanking a lacquered sideboard.
Choose the shade
Frosted glass bowls suit torchieres and deliver the warm upward wash characteristic of Art Deco atmospheric interior lighting. Simple silk or fabric drum or cone shades in black or ivory suit figural and geometric standard floor lamp applications.
Set the height
Torchieres at 62 to 72 inches for ambient upward wash. Reading floor lamp shade bottom at 48 to 52 inches for seated comfort.
