Adjustable Floor Lamps with Reading Light

Deciding on a lamp is best determined when you consider your decor style, space, needs and price ~ Whew! Did I include everything?

Torchiere floor lamps like these have an adjustable, utility/reading light you can easily manipulate and take aim toward your task or reading material.

The simple torchiere shade on the lamp above suits a traditional-to- contemporary palette with your choice of metal finish for a great fit. The more decorative floor lamp at left can be used in any number of spaces from eclectic to contemporary.  

It's hard for me to label any decor or furniture piece as "cheap" because of the visual we all get when we hear the word but I wanted to spotlight (no pun intended) on these lamps' affordability only, not a measure of quality.

For their 'budget-friendliness', these floor lamps proffer a two-for-one, as a torchiere and adjustable reading lamp; you'll satisfy your need for extra lighting and beauty

How neat is that for the investment?

I often mention budget when advising about decor; it's certainly a major consideration when broaching the subject.

It's important to keep within your comfort zone, even if there's a piece you swear is a must-have, there's always a look-alike that's a good shoe-in.

This torchiere floor lamp with an adjustable light for reading is uber cheap but it's a fave for readers and those who want to decorate on a budget.

Multipurpose torchiere floor lamps  for reading or crafting are always a good 'package deal' especially when decorating more conservative spaces.

Lighting for all occasions keeps your favorite task space or reading spot just that without having to set up shop somewhere else once the sun goes down.

I have a sunny kitchen but with high noon, the sun fades towards the opposite side of the house, making my favorite work/study spot look like doom and gloom moved in.

Another bonus this torchiere-style floor lamp features: handy clip for keeping things in place, magnifier for those tiny pieces while crafting or building and the adjustable height are plus, plus, pluses.  

These sophisticated, minimal style floor lamps with adjustable arm make easy work of creating a nice reading nook.

While these floor lamps have a simple design, it leaves your decor options wide open for rugs and furniture pieces.

I can see any one of these floor lamps paired with an abstract, flokati or ultra pile, shag rug to bring instant warmth to your new reading space.

You might opt for a luxurious leather or microfiber chaise lounge to stretch out and cozy up with a novel on a cold night.

If (unlike me), you're up to sharing, the arch can fit nicely between two chairs.

Obviously, there's quite a bit of choice with these nondescript floor lamps.

So plain, but so visual.

Tween and teen bedrooms are my absolute faves to decorate, although my boys had their own ideas on what looked good and I was happy (I use the term loosely) to oblige with 'minimal guidance.'

If you're looking to appoint kids' rooms with a floor lamp, one of these styles is ideal, as your tween or teen can adjust the reading lamps to any number of funky directions (I'm thinking Medusa, here). Each of my boys had their own floor lamp, despite sharing a bedroom, but the lamps are rather inexpensive, so it was a 'go' and I gave my OK happilly.

I'm all for promoting reading at any level and if a lamp will help get those books out, funky lamps it is!

You're probably thinking along the same lines if you've a tween or teen but these floor lamps can make themselves at home in play rooms, family rooms and basements where lighting may be sparse. It's OK to go all-out fun wherever you want; it's your home; put your name all over it. Happy decorating! .
