On this page you can configure an illustrative slim floor lamp: a spun-metal shade with a rolled edge, a thin stem and a die-cast base. Pick a colour and a height to see your version.
When a lamp is this restrained, colour does almost all the work. There is no ornament to hold attention, so the choice between black, pale grey and dark green decides whether it disappears into a room or becomes the accent. Height matters just as much. A slim lamp beside a lounge chair needs its shade at the right level to light a book rather than the sitter's eyes.

What you can configure
Shade, stem and base share one colour, so each swatch changes the whole lamp. Black, white, pale grey and dark green are shown; sand and brass complete the range. Height, 1300 or 1600 mm, sits in the summary, though the photograph stays at one height. A production build would show each height beside a chair, because that relationship is what buyers are judging.

Why a configurator suits floor lamps
Colour-led products have the widest gap between what buyers see and what arrives. A dark green powder coat can look black at night and almost teal in sunlight. A configurator that shows the chosen colour in two lights narrows that gap. It also helps with pale grey and white, which look nearly identical as small swatches.
Brands that sell direct often photograph two hero colours and leave the rest as swatches, which quietly steers buyers towards black and white. With six colours in two heights, that leaves most of the twelve lamps underexposed. Showing every colour properly tends to spread demand across the range and gives the brand honest data on which colours to keep.
Height is a fit decision rather than a style one. A lounge chair with a low seat suits the shorter lamp; a sofa with a high back may need the taller one. A short question about the seat it stands beside is enough for a configurator to suggest the right height. That answer reduces the number of lamps returned for being the wrong size.
How a production version would be built
For a single-colour lamp, one image per colour and height is straightforward: twelve renders from a 3D model, or a careful photographic set in one session. Rendering suits this product, because the geometry is simple and colour can be controlled against the paint standard. The brand supplies colour names and powder-coat references, heights, shade diameter and bulb type. A Shopify integration maps colour and height to variants, so stock and pricing behave as normal and brass can carry its own price.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Height choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if heights can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about floor lamp configurators
Will dark green and black look different enough on screen?
They will if each is shown in daylight as well as evening light. Dark colours collapse together in low light, so a daylight view is essential. A close-up of the shade's rolled edge, where the coating catches the light, helps buyers see the green undertone clearly.
Can customers choose a height based on their chair?
Yes. A short prompt asking what the lamp stands beside, with typical seat and back heights, can suggest the right height and explain why. The guidance can come from your own design notes, so it reflects how the lamp was intended to be used rather than a generic rule.
Can a brass version sit in the same configurator at a different price?
Yes. Each colour can carry its own price, so brass can cost more than the powder-coated colours without a separate product listing. The configurator shows the price change as the swatch is chosen, which is clearer than buyers discovering it at checkout.
How do we keep powder-coat colours consistent between batches and images?
Tie every image to the paint reference rather than to a single sample. When a new batch is coated, compare it against the same calibrated image and reference card. If a colour is reformulated, the configurator image is updated once and every page using it follows.
