How To Choose The Right Lampshade-www.sunwinhotellighting.com

 A lamp is completed by base and shade, the shade is as important as the base. Therefore, how to pick the lampshade is also a critical question. Generally there are three factors - material, size & color.

​

Lampshade Material

On the market there are four major shade materials - fabric, metal, glass, acrylic. Fabric shades are the most common lampshades, which may be the most reasonable price. Metal shades provide focused lighting, and have a beautiful reflection of the white color interior. Glass shades and acrylic shades will have stunning illumination through their bodies.

Lampshade Size

For a nice balance between shade and base, the general rule of thumb is to make sure the lampshade is twice as wide as the lamp's base. This allows for even light distribution without being too top-heavy. If you're uncertain which size lampshade to choose, it's always wise to go with larger rather than smaller. A lampshade that is too small will look out of sorts and won't provide enough light.

Lampshade Color

The color of your lampshade can ultimately make or break your lamp, so to speak. The color not only compliments your interior but is functional as well. Lamps with white or cream-colored shades provide the most abundant light, while darker colors give more soft, glowing light. Thus, paler shades would probably work best for very dark corners of your home, and opaque shades could be suitable for a nightlight.

One fun option for a darker color lampshade would be a cutout design. Cutout shades have a pattern stenciled into them that lets the light shine through and project onto your wall and ceiling.
