Classic Close-up: Arc Floor Lamp

An arc floor lamp, so named because of its arc-shaped arm, is an ingeniously designed light fixture.  In addition to being chic and sophisticated, they provide a great source of space-saving light.  Unlike other lamps, where the entire lamp has to be placed nearest the area to be lighted, arc floor lamps can be placed in a corner with the long curve of the arm extending to the area that needs to be lit. The curved arm allows the light to be directed to different areas in a room-- some are even suitable for ambient lighting, while others are best suited to accent lighting.  Add brightness and beauty to your home with any of these lovely arc floor lamps.

A white Arco Floor lamp adds to the retro feel of this pretty living room.  The Arco Floor Lamp is one of the most popular mid-century modern floor lamps available. With a gorgeous marble base, the lamp's beautifully curved arm extends 8 feet into a space, providing a beautiful area and ambient light. The beauty of an arc floor lamp is that, depending on your lighting and space needs, you can find one that fits your space perfectly.  If you're short on space, look for a lamp that has a shorter slighter arc.  Likewise, if you have plenty of space and want more ambient light, find one that's taller and has a greater arc.  Either way, you will be sure to find a chic way to brighten your home!
