I'm looking to add a little height to my living room and I'm on a white kick, so the CB2 Stage Floor Lamp ($99.95, reduced from $149) might just be the thing. It puts a cartoonish spin on the traditional stage light, making it a great conversation piece. The lamp is a bit tongue-in-cheek, which I love; people should be more light-hearted about their furnishings.

Dear Casa,
Can you find the maker of the floor lamp shown in Rachel Berry's bedroom last night on Glee? I'd like to buy it for my niece for her birthday.
Thanks for your help,
Christina

German industrial designer Anika Engelbrecht designed this tress-like floor lamp, Frisa (inquire for price), which can be customized with pigtails, braids, and bangs, like a full head of hair. It certainly makes me chuckle, but I can't say I'd actually put it in my home. I'm thinking it might be fun to use in an eclectic, modern hair salon.

I recently wrote a Found It! about the pillows in the living room of New York socialite and The City star, Olivia Palermo. While I wouldn't call myself a fan of this girl, I do dig her polished and muted digs.

The Ralph Lauren Architect Floor Lamp ($600) is a chic, classic, and polished design that's ideal for the traditional homes of those cable-knit-sweater-wearing women. I find it très élégant with its rich red mahogany, and I love how it references the three-legged design of a surveyor's tripod. And, while I'm sure it's a very sturdy and high quality, I couldn't bring myself to spend 600 smackers on a floor lamp that's not a statement piece (this guy's more of a filler).

If you caught my recent Get the Look on this room, you may have been charmed by the orange floor lamp standing in the corner. Orange can be a very bold color, especially in a white room, but here it just adds a touch of subtle and fresh color. And since it picks up some of the tones in the artwork and the rug, it brings everything in the room together.

Once, when spying the delicate silk lining inside an evening clutch, I thought of something a friend had said: The only true luxury is hidden luxury. Such is the case with the new Pottery Barn Verona Floor Lamp ($349). On the outside, it looks your average traditional floor lamp, with its brass fittings and dark, zinc-like iron shade.

What's not to love about the chic Marc Sadler Twiggy Floor Lamp ($2,022)? (OK, besides its price.) This gorgeous, curved-arm floor lamp will gracefully bend toward your favorite novel as you sit on your sofa, and its sleek finish, available in red, black, yellow, or white, will create a great visual statement in your home.
Not quite ready to plunk down two grand on a floor lamp?

Bruno Rainaldi must have taken a note from the Talking Heads' catchphrase "This ain't no disco" when designing the Orten'zia Large Floor Lamp ($4,628). The luminary certainly has a disco ball aura to it, but its nickel-plated petals give it a unique flair that's light years away from the glowing dance floor of the Saturday Night Fever set. Unfortunately, with that price tag, it's also astronomically distant from my living room.
