A standard floor lamp for living room lighting usually sits between about 1500 and 2000 millimetres high so the light is just above eye level when you are seated, giving comfortable ambient lighting without glare.

The King Solifiore Collection including Gymea, Protea and Arum, stand approximately 1795, 1675 and 1925 millimetres high on slender blackened stems and concrete bases, while the Balla Floor Lamp sits at 1700 millimetres with two diffused opal spheres that can be positioned to suit your reading light or lounge corner.

This makes each King Living floor lamp an elegant standing lighting option, perfect beside a sofa, armchair or bed, delivering warm light within a minimalist lamp profile.

The right number of floor lamps depends on room size and how you use the space, but most living spaces work well with one to three floor lamps layered with pendant lights, table lamps and natural light.

In a compact room, a single King Living floor lamp can provide generous ambient lighting when paired with a nearby window or ceiling light. Medium and larger open plan spaces often benefit from two or more floor lamps to illuminate different zones.

Coloured glass shades from the King Living Soliflore Collection influence both the design and the light they cast, so you can tailor each area. For example, choose an Ochre Red or Amber near the sofa for a warm, relaxed glow, and an Olive Green or Smoke glass shade in a study or reading nook for a fresher, more focused atmosphere.

Place a King Living floor lamp where it supports how you live in the room: beside or just behind a sofa or armchair for reading light, in a lounge corner to soften shadows, or near a console or artwork to create gentle accent lighting.

Try to position your standing lamp slightly away from windows so it complements natural daylight without causing glare, and keep pathways clear of cords.

King Living floor lamps can be clustered at staggered heights for sculptural ambient lighting, while a single Balla Floor Lamp sits beautifully at the end of a sofa and can be paired with pendant lights or table lamps for a balanced, contemporary lighting scheme.
