Floor lamps add a visual flair to any room as their height naturally contrasts with table lamps and wall lights, so work to draw your eye upwards creating a sense if height and depth. They are also hugely handy for defining space in a room as they work with your furniture to delineate different zones in a living room – an area for watching TV, a reading nook, or perhaps a more formal space for chatting and entertaining.

The Camberwell is designed as a more contemporary alternative to our traditional reading lamps, the Brompton and Nayland. With its sturdy base, clean silhouette and neat adjustable head, it is a compact floor lamp that would look lovely parked next to your favourite reading chair or sofa or used to light up a dark corner of your living room.
We love the look of our 20cm or 30cm pendant medium French drum shades with the Camberwell, but it also looks great with a 30cm pendant Empire shade as shown below in this lovely living room reading nook by @lola_and_masey.
