You know the rule, three points of light in every room, but do you live by it? I might know of one room in my home that does not pass that test. With one ceiling lamp and a table lamp, the next obvious addition is a floor lamp. With the halogen torchiere days (thankfully) far behind us, here's a roundup of industrial inspired floor lamps.
Not only will these lamps provide an additional light source, they will also make a beautiful addition to any room.
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:
• Enzo Lamp, Anthropologie, $398.
• Found and Treasured Lamp, handmade from vintage machinery parts, Anthropologie, $1,400.
• Loft Floor Lamp, West Elm, $149.
• Pharmacy Lamp, Crate and Barrel, $199.
• Task Over-Reach Floor Lamp, Room and Board, $749.

Floor lamps are one source of light that are sometimes forgotten. I love having matching floor lamps on each end of a sofa in a large room. See this industrial lamp in bronze with a silk shade to kick it up a notch! http://bit.ly/dlVnLF

Loving that rug. Does anyone know where its from or where a similar style can be found?
Are the halogen torchiere days behind us? Aw, shucks. I still really love my black one. Bounced off the white ceiling of my work room it's still the best flood light I've ever had for doing my sewing and other crafty stuff.
Please tell me it isn't so. =(
ha ha ha, a $1400 lamp from anthropologie...
julianne7, the rug is from Anthropologie.
Ah, the three points of light rule... Nope. I think I'm lucky to have managed even two points in most of my very tiny rooms. But if I had room for a third, I'd likely be considering one of these lovelies... I definitely have a soft spot for industrial floor lamps.
That first lamp is marked up like whoa. $400 vs. $240 at Lamps Plus:

@Pixie, lol. Yes, it'll be on sale in about 3 months for $50.
I second that - the first lamp from Anthropologie is actually the "Bruno" Double Arm Pharmacy Lamp, by Robert Abbey. Nobody should have to pay 400 dollars for it!
I know I'm a few years too late, but I just found a Crate and Barrel pharmacy lamp knock off at Target for $40... just placed an order :)
