Where to buy the most stylish outdoor floor lamps – these are the 7 brands and retailers I’m recommending to everybody right now
Create a stylish and cosy outdoor living room vibe all summer long
As the weather currently feels like it’s screaming ‘summer’ at the top of its lungs, al fresco season has well and truly begun. Hopefully, at this point, you have your garden furniture sorted – but if you still need to get those finishing touches organised, such as lighting, then I know just where to buy the best outdoor floor lamps.
As the boundaries between our indoor and outdoor spaces continue to be blurred, outdoor living room ideas are also increasing in popularity. We're applying the same consideration to our patio and decking areas as to interior rooms, and that includes choosing the right garden lighting ideas. Lighting is key to creating a lovely atmosphere in your outdoor space as much as it is inside your home.
While the likes of outdoor table lamps and wall lights have been popular for a while, outdoor floor lamps are the breakout trend taking off this season. Google Trends reports that searches for ‘outdoor floor lamp’ have increased by 70% only in the last month.
So there’s clearly an appetite for creating a layered outdoor lighting scheme and for finding out where to buy outdoor lighting. And if you’re after that very same thing, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Amazon
You’re probably not surprised that Amazon’s made it onto this list – because, really, is there anything that Amazon doesn’t sell?! And the online retailer happens to have a wide range of outdoor floor lamps to choose from - from lots of different brands, from budget to high end, as well as various styles.
One of my favourite styles is the Outsunny boho rattan floor lamp which comes with three lights and a built-in side table – and perhaps it’s no surprise that it’s currently Amazon’s bestseller, too. Also from Outsunny, the low garden rattan lamp is another popular design with over 50 sold in the last month.
2. Argos
If you’re looking for outdoor lighting on a budget, Argos is a great place to go to – outdoor floor lamps included. Whether that’s from Argos’ own brand or from Habitat that’s stocked at Argos.

Whether you’re after something that would look right at home in your actual living room - in which case I recommend the Habitat solar rattan floor lamp, perfect for adding some extra natural texture, too - or if you want something that very much reads outdoor like this Argos Home solar powered lampost style, this retailer has got it all. And you won’t spend more than £65 on them either.
3. Cox & Cox
Cox & Cox is not only one of the best places to buy rattan garden furniture, parasols and sun loungers - although the brand truly excels in all of those categories - its outdoor lighting range is also one to have on your radar, including Cox & Cox’s outdoor floor lamps.
The pricing is in the mid range and every one of the designs looks extremely sleek and stylish, whether it’s the beautifully rust-coloured Nocturne rechargeable LED floor lamp or the Elowen design which is a chicer take on the traditional post light but looks so much more elevated.
4. Debenhams
Don’t sleep on Debenhams’ outdoor furniture and accessories range because it’s not only huge but it’s also full of great deals that seem to always be on. The retailer’s outdoor lighting range is almost as large as Amazon’s, offering a varied range of brands, styles and price points.
While none of my top picks are currently on sale, it’s a varied price range starting at just £39.99 for the solar floor lamp from Garden Greatness (what a brand name!). If you’re willing to spend a little more then I recommend this outdoor solar floor lamp from Wyld and Coco with a chic oval shade. But if you’re after more of a designer-style statement then the LED outdoor floor lamp from the same brand is the one, although it’s a bit more spenny at £239.99.
5. Lampandlight.co.uk
Lampandlight.co.uk is another great online retailer with a wide range of outdoor floor lamps, as well as other garden lighting. While the brand has pretty much everything you can think of on offer, including similar styles as the other retailers sell, it’s the more unique designs that I’d go to Lampandlight.co.uk for.
The first outdoor floor lamp from Lampandlight.co.uk that really impressed me was the Jannie design outdoor floor lamp which has a very original shape for an outdoor lamp – if anything, it reminds of MADE’s Piper table lamp. Another top pick would be the Robbert design outdoor floor lamp which looks like a stylish statement floor lamp for a living room. I’d never have guessed it’s designed for the outdoors.
6. ValueLights
ValueLights is not only one of my favourite places to buy lighting for my home, but it’s also a brand I’d recommend for budget-friendly outdoor lighting like garden floor lamps. Granted, the designs are a little bit more traditional but they’re affordable.
And if you’re after an outdoor floor lamp that’s on the smaller side and won’t overwhelm your space then ValueLights has got you sorted with the likes of its solar rattan tripod floor lamp or the black rattan LED floor lamp. But my personal favourite style is the solar floor lamp with a rattan shade that will create beautiful shadow patterns.
7. Westwing
Westwing is a newcomer to the UK market, having launched here only earlier this year. But it’s a retailer well established in European countries like Germany, France and Denmark and it’s well known for its range of design-forward products from various brands, including its own. And that offering happens to include several super cool outdoor floor lamps.
If I had to pick one favourite lamp from this entire list, it would have to be the Lola dimmable outdoor LED floor lamp from Newgarden, available at Westwing. The design made all in rattan is extremely chic. Another favourite is the Newgarden Monica outdoor LED floor lamp with a sphere-shaped lampshade and a thick green base which reminds me of a lollipop – what’s not to like?!
