What We Like: Exquisite attention to detail

Not So Good For: Dark color palettes

Bring a touch of timeless sophistication to your space with this charming floor lamp. Embracing a mix of vintage, shabby chic, and Victorian styles, it features intricate embroidery, scalloped edges, and decorative fringes on the fabric lampshade. Below, a delicately carved base finished in antique white adds to its understated beauty.

Designer Advice:

Although most shabby chic floor lamps go well with both traditional and modern decor, that is not the case with this one. Given its elegant, old-fashioned appearance, this piece requires a more feminine design style, one that includes elaborate furniture, soft hues, and gentle patterns. One idea would be to set it next to a French-style dressing table, decorated with flowers and a soft rug.

What Users Say:

Not only is this lamp totally adorable, it's so easy to put together, it is perfection. The shade is so cute and gives the whole room a vibe. Love it.

A floor lamp with shabby chic styling. This piece is inspired by French country touches to brighten up your intimate spaces. Its plinth base has a distressed white finish for an added rustic appeal.

Designer Advice:

The weathered paint finish of this piece beautifully brings a farmhouse touch to coastal and transitional interiors. Meanwhile, its visual heft is ideal for larger rooms. For an elegant arrangement, we recommend pairing this lamp with more refined furniture pieces, so the space doesn’t look completely distressed.

Best Unique

Square Shabby Chic Floor Lamp

Kelly Clarkson Home

Perfect For: A distinctive focal point in a seating ensemble

What We Like: Wire cube cage

Crafted from resin, this floor lamp showcases a turned column and tiered base, beautifully enhanced by a weathered white finish. What makes it stand out is the square linen shade and wired exterior, making for an unexpected but stunning pairing. Looks aside, it comes equipped with a 3-way rotary switch and two bulb bases for ample lighting.

$169.99

Designer Advice:

For those looking for something beyond usual, look no further than this attention-getting light fixture. Although it easily lends itself to shabby-chic and farmhouse interiors, it also uses clean lines and geometric shapes to complement modern furniture. This allows you to play with different shapes in your design scheme—for example, it pairs well with a roll-arm sofa but also looks beautiful beside a boxy armchair.

What Users Say:

Extremely well made. Heavy duty quality. The distressing on the lamp is amazing. Highly recommend!

Buying Guide

What features should I look for in a shabby chic floor lamp for a bedroom?

Shabby chic floor lamps are characterized by their neutral color palette, charming patterns, mixed media embellishments, and distressed wood or metal stands and bases.

If you’re trying to create a shabby chic aesthetic in your bedroom, pick a floor lamp that has a distressed, worn look to coordinate with your bed frame or chest of drawers. The stands are typically constructed of turned or carved wood with a weathered white painted finish.

You should also aim for a color palette that’s relatively neutral with light shades of cream, white, and gray to match your bedding. You could also use the floor lamp to introduce a pop of pastel blue, green, or pink.

What is the right lampshade diameter for a Shabby Chic floor lamp?

Shabby Chic floor lamps can have almost any diameter shade, but shades that are 8” or less in diameter and close to the light bulb may pose a fire hazard if a standard light bulb is used for too long. Make sure to use a lamp shade that is the same size or larger than the one provided by the manufacturer.

Keep in mind that a shabby chic lamp shade that is very large, over 18”-24” in diameter, may overwhelm the space that it's in. Floor lamps that are placed near walkways are easy for people to bump into.

In general, the ideal lamp shade size is a third of the lamp’s height tall and twice as wide as the base. For example, a 60” tall floor with a 12” base should have a lampshade that is 20” tall by 24” wide. Ideally, the lampshade should show a little of the lamp's neck but not the bulb socket.

Lamp shades often feature feminine adornments, such as beads, embroidery, or ruffles. When decorating your bedroom, choose a floor lamp shade with details that reflect the other textiles in your room, like a ruffled curtain valance or a textured bedspread.

Should a shabby chic floor lamp be placed in the corner of a room?

Shabby chic floor lamps work well in the corner of a room, but you can also place them in a central position if you want to make them a focal point. Since many of these floor lamps are incredibly ornate and have unique shapes, they can make a fabulous centerpiece in a sunroom or can even be positioned right next to an armchair in the middle of a room for adequate light when reading.

However, if you have dark, unused corners in your space, consider using a decorative shabby chic floor lamp to add intrigue and brighten the area. The addition of a feature lamp in a corner can help draw the eye further, past your furniture pieces, creating the illusion of a bigger living room or bedroom.
