Elstead Balance Floor Lamp

Floor lamps sound simple until you order one and realise the shade was sold separately. The Elstead Balance is designed precisely this way — base and shade specified independently — so it helps to know that upfront before checkout.

A cantilever floor lamp works by offsetting the light source horizontally from the vertical support, allowing it to reach over a chair or sofa rather than sitting beside it. The drum shade on the Balance directs light both downward and upward, while the gold mirror laminate lining warms and reflects the output — adding to the ambience rather than simply filling the room with flat illumination.

The Elstead Balance Floor Lamp is a British-made portable interior floor lamp from Elstead Lighting's Balance range. The base features a slender metal stem rising from a weighted circular disc base, with a horizontal cantilevered arm at the top suspending the cylindrical drum shade. The two-tone finish — dark brown exterior with polished brass accents at the arm ends and stem-to-base junction — gives the piece a confident, considered presence. The companion drum shade shares the dark brown exterior finish and features a gold mirror laminate interior lining.

The design is characterised by a minimalist, geometric silhouette: thin lines, deliberate proportions, and a restrained palette that works well in contemporary interiors. The Balance is available in four two-tone finish combinations: White & Polished Nickel, Brown & Polished Brass, Black & Polished Nickel, and Black & Polished Brass — each pairing a body colour with a contrasting metal accent.

This product is a portable floor lamp — no fixed wiring required. The shade is sold separately from the base to allow maximum flexibility in configuration. Please ensure you order both the base and the matching shade to receive a complete fitting. Lamp type and bulb compatibility should be confirmed at point of specification.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we stock the Balance range precisely because a well-specified floor lamp is one of the most effective tools for layering warmth into a scheme — and because getting the base-and-shade pairing right the first time saves a return trip. We're here to help you specify both components correctly, whether you're fitting out a villa living room or a boutique hotel suite.
