The Right Lamp Shade Makes All the Difference
The seamed silk shade and the slight bell shape immediately make this lamp look a bit more formal and traditional.

Lamps are the last item I look for when designing a room. To me, they are the crowning touch and allow you to infuse a last bit of style and color into the room. I was looking for lamps for a client today and the ones I am considering have two different lamp shade options. Options…it’s a word every designer loves and so should you! When you take a classic lamp and put a pleated silk lampshade on it, the result has a more formal and traditional look. But when you take the same lamp and use a plain drum or cone shade you have a much more modern look. Check out these lamps to see the difference. And by the way, a gourd lamp like this fits in most any room. They come in a broad spectrum of sizes and colors and are always in style.

The more modern choice. Still a silk shade but the shape is simple yet classic.

This also means that if you find a lamp you like but the shade is not quite right, change out the shade. There are a number of lamp stores that carry a broad selection of shades in many price ranges. The perfect lampshade can make a simple lamp look more spendy and we all love a bargain, right?
