Don't underestimate the benefits of a good lighting scheme in your living room or bedroom. While you'll always need a main light, especially when the nights draw in and it gets darker, smaller lamps like floor and table lights provide that all-important ambience for cosy nights in. They also provide an extra boost of angled glow where you might need it for reading or working on something fiddly. A fancy floor lamp tucked in a corner, or strategically placed next to your side table, also makes a style statement in its own right.

In fact, studies have shown that lighting and mood are directly linked: getting an adequate amount boosts productivity, concentration and happiness levels, while too little can contribute to feelings of depression. As a result, lighting is a really important element to get right in your home.

So, whether you've gone all out for 2021's big boho trend, or prefer a more classic brass/marble combination, we've found 30 of the best floor lamps available to shop now.

For a barely there minimal look, this H&M lamp is a good choice. It's a steal at just under £60, too. 

Another good value one here at under £100. This arching shape makes it a fantastic option for larger areas – position it over a side table, or next to a shelving unit for best results. 

This one comes in a choice of gold or silver, depending on whether you like a warm glow or a frostier finish. The little marble accent adds a touch more glamour.

Marble and brass is a classic combination, and it works beautifully here in this lamp. A good one for small spaces, tuck this next to your sofa or armchair in the living room. 

This wide shade is giving us retro sci-fi vibes and we're 100% here for it. 

Frosted glass bulbs just give such a lovely finish. This is a subtle design, but the double light fitting still makes for some strong impact. 

We love this elegant geometric lamp base. It comes sans shade, but that means you can style it however you like.

Here's a traditional reading lamp with an adjustable arm, so you can get the ambience just right. 

This one's spenny, yes, but look at the impact it makes in a room. A worthy investment if you want to create some proper wow factor.  

We're obsessed with this one – curved shapes have been all over the place recently and this is a beautiful way to bring this trend into your home. 

If you've caught the pastel interiors bug then you'll need this lamp in your living room. Just look at that shade and base coordination. 

For those on a budget, this copper lamp fits the bill without sacrificing on style. 

There's not much more classic than a traditional anglepoise lamp. It'll go with pretty much any scheme, too. 

Looking to add a bit of charm and flair to your space? A fun fringed lampshade will do just that. 

Small space havers, this one's for you. It doubles up as a side table (or at least somewhere to pop your cuppa) while you're relaxing on the sofa in front of this week's Love Island.  

This is a low-level light so it's not a good option for reading, but it'll make empty corners look pretty while casting off a lovely glow.

With its sophisticated peacock blue shade, this will add some jewel-toned goodness into your space. Pair with some pink or peachy-hued cushions and gold accents throughout your room.  

Another good one here if you like a maximalist vibe – just pair with your most 'extra' lampshade.  

This looks far more expensive than it actually is. The pale brass finish won't ever date and will fit with all decor schemes – so it's a good investment buy at a great price. 

This lamp has a built-in diffuser to create soft shadows and muted lighting. Stylish and practical? Yes, please. 

JL's new Anyday range covers all your basics at really great prices – and they're pretty stylish, too. This lamp comes in a choice of mustard, deep grey or this putty shade, which we think is really versatile. 

Still not over the copper trend? Us neither. This gorgeous lamp will warm up any cosy corner it's tucked into. 

Another clever idea for small spaces – this lamp has a couple of little shelves built in, so you can add some plants or a candle somewhere where you might not have space for a side table as well. 

If you've been all over the boho trend, this is your pick. Pair with a linen or seagrass shade for max effect. 

Looking for something really design-led? This Scandi-inspired piece has been handcrafted from solid wood and the brass bulb holder adds a bit of edge – it's definitely a talking point. 

And here's another good boho option. This low-level lamp is good for creating a cosy ambience during evenings.

The wide disc-shaped shade here will help diffuse the light and create a lovely soft glowy ambience. Love the raffia material, too. 

Erm, how cool is this? If you have a big space, this statement lamp will provide the impact large rooms need.

For a sleek, minimal look, this is a great option. We love the frosted bulbs, too. 

Position a few of these strategically around your room for some proper mood lighting, Hollywood style.
