8 Awesome Arc Floor Lamps For Male Living Spaces

These arc lamps are ideal for a small apartment – you may not think buying a large lamp would be good for a small apartment – but the idea behind them is you can tuck them behind your couch or reading corner; this creates a large accent piece of decor in your home without wasting much space. Take my arc lamp whilst furnishing a new place, below. We managed to tuck it between the wall and couch (remember by pulling your couch away from the wall you make a room appear larger – as we discussed in our ‘how to decorate an open plan apartment’).

These lamps create a pleasant upwards and downwards lighting. Personally, in the evening I just have the arc lamp on as it puts out enough warm lighting to see, and act as a pleasant evening light. Arc lamps are currently in vogue, especially in newer homes decorated in a mid-century modern style – which accentuated curves – supposedly mimicking nature.

#1 Brightech Logan – Contemporary Arc Floor

#4 Brush Steel Arc Lamp

This six feet tall mood lighting arc lamp with a black shade from SH Lighting comes with a heavy marble base, to ensure it stays in place. This lamp would suit a living room that is perhaps too white, to provide some contrast; or to match the couch if you have a black couch, for example. The black shade makes the mood lighting extra cool; as you can see below. Provide lighting for your dining area or reading corner, or place behind your couch for a cool trendy feature.

#5 Kira Home Akira

This multi-directional floor lamp, with woven burlap shades, by Kira Home allows for three different light levels. This lamp is in an Asian style, perfect for a living room with a bohemian vibe.

Major Q’s comes in four different color styles and has quite a bright light, so would be ideal for a place that needs more light, as opposed to use for mood lighting.

The base is made from a large marble slab, ensuring that it won’t fall down – which is unlikely anyway if you are placing it behind your couch in your living room.

The Polaris Arc Floor Lamp by Safavieh is more of a premium arc lamp compared the the ones we’ve covered so far on the list; and it comes with a premium price tag.

Create a cool vista within you living space, as above, with the lamp arching over the chair. This would be an ideal accent light for a larger living room.
