Tips for choosing a lampshade

It can be difficult to find a lampshade that fits your interior well. By choosing the right shade, you can add atmosphere to your living room. There are some points to consider when buying a lampshade. How big should the shade be? What color lampshade should you choose and what material should it be made of? We have listed some tips for you so you can make the right choice.

Function of your lamp

Consider in advance the function of the lamp in the interior. Do you want to use the lamp only as mood light, or should the lamp let through enough light so that you can also read with it. For example, for atmospheric light you can choose lampshade Maddy; this shade has a tough structure, but still lets a cozy light through and is available in various shapes and sizes. Or choose lampshade Ollie in a trendy leopard print; a real eye-catcher in your interior!

Choose something different from what you already had

Want to replace your old lampshade for a new one? Then try something completely different from what you already had. Because you are so used to a certain lampshade in your living room, you are easily tempted to buy the same kind of lampshade again. It can be very refreshing to choose a lampshade with a different design or shape, such as lampshade Geo, which has a unique geometric print and looks good in different types of interiors.

What size lampshade?

It is difficult to determine online what size lampshade you should choose. However, there are some rules of thumb you can use to choose the right size shade for your lamp. To do this, first look at the length of the lamp base. A general rule of thumb is that the total length of the lamp may consist of 60% of the lamp base and 40% of the lampshade. You can determine the width of the lampshade by taking the width of the lamp base x 2. The wider the base, the wider the lampshade can be. In the end, of course, the most important thing is that you choose what you like.
