Change a Room With New Lamp Shades
Switching out lamp shades is a subtle change, but one that can transform the look of a room. If you can't overhaul an entire room, or you're decorating a new space, details such as wall hangings and new lamp shades can make all the difference. Easily brighten up the room with sheer white lamp shades, or soften the lighting with warmer, more opaque lamp shades.
Get creative and give an old lamp new life by spray painting the base and adding a fun new lamp shade. Drum lamp shades are a classic choice and the slightly tapered barrel shape balances a wide lamp base and allows more light to disperse than a bell-shaped shade. For tall, slim lamp bases, small lamp shades look elegant and light.
If your lamps are angular and feature geometric shapes, rectangular lamp shades are a great choice to match the style. Lamp shades are available in a variety of colors and styles to match your décor. Some feature prints and patterns for a little extra detail. For more tips and ideas, see our Lamp Buying Guide.
