It’s easy to overlook lampshade details when it comes to designing a room, but with a little help from Lamp Arts in Atlanta, GA, your interior lighting fixtures will look gorgeous and coherent in your newly renovated or redesigned home. So what exactly does it take to choose the perfect lampshade? With a few helpful tips from Freshome, your lamps will look straight out of a designer’s house in no time:

  • Choose a lampshade that complements your color scheme. Every room should be looked at as a whole when it comes to choosing lampshades. For a bolder approach, choose colors that will stand out against other décor. For a subtler approach, choose neutral colors.
  • Pick a lampshade that is the right size for its base. You want the lampshade to be low enough to slightly cover the switch, but not so low that you have to reach up under it to turn it off or on.
  • Decide if your lampshade is for function or ambiance, or both. The color of your shade can have a huge impact on the mood it sets in a room. If you’re using all-white décor in your home, a white lampshade will give you maximum illumination. The darker you go, the more an ambiance will be created.
  • Make a statement (or none at all). When picking lampshades for a room, consider if you’d like to make a statement or if you’d like them to blend into the surrounding décor. Take color, fabrics, accent rugs, wallpaper, and throw pillows into account when dreaming up inspiration for your lampshades.
  • Consider unique lampshade options. There are many different shapes available, including drum/cylinder, floor, empire, coolie, or the traditional bell type. Lamp Arts' professionals can help you find the perfect shape for your vision.
