Our house was build in 70s 2 story. The room right by the front door has no overhead light. We have 2 more formal couches in carmel colors, lots of light oak trim, burgandy drapes a decorative haha piano and we need a floor lamp. But I can't figure out what would look nice. They all seem super chome modern space shippy. I need it reasonably priced. I have looked in decorating mags but only see table lamps. Any one w some time want to help me find some links?? Or recommed a store??
We bought a cheap floor lamp at lowes or Home Depot. We spent months looking online, at lamp stores, etc. and one day we were walking through a big box home improvement store and there was our lamp. It was 80 bucks. And we were happy.
Target, Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond (bought a set of three classic wrought iron simple lamps, including a floor lamp at BB & B) set was $70.00.
Have you tried to Google "overstock lamps"? Overstock.com has some very nice lamps...here's the link directly to floor lamps page:

I've had good luck ordering with them and they have quite a variety.
It also depends on what sort of look you are trying to go for. For us, we are more of an 'antiquey' family so we buy our floor lamps at a favorite lower-priced antique shop. You might want something more on the contemporary side, so try the website first, you might want to do some window-shopping, see what sorts of stores window-dress in a way which is attractive to you, and go take a peek inside.

They are my go to for home furnishing... Not super pricy so of course your not getting Ethan Allen type furnishings... But I've been please with all of they're decorating items.. Have purchase a couple of lamps and have been pleased.
Target has lots of great floor lamps. We have one similar to this and we love it:

We've used it in different rooms and it always blends in nicely, very neutral.
Home Depot & Lowes are also great places to look, especially Lowes!
