Choosing Lampshades
arnasati March 11th, 2010
It is true that lampshades are made to accentuate the lamps whether it is a ceiling, lamp, table lamp or floor lamp, but we have to remember that on choosing the lampshades we should not remove the function of lamp in the room. Therefore, on choosing the lampshades make sure that we consider both aesthetic function of lampshades and the function of the lamp. Here are some tips to help us finding the perfect lampshades.
First, we have to make a measurement. No matter what our lamp type, we have to choose lampshades that cover at least two- third of our lamp. With that way, the light of the lamp can still spread to the room and we will get perfect sized lampshades. Second, we have to think about the lampshades diameter. We can determine the perfect diameter by looking at the lamp location. Make sure that we are not choosing too wide diameter for lamps that are located in a high traffic area.
Last, but not least, we have to choose the perfect color and pattern. On the choosing process, make sure that we adjust it with the decoration and the wall paint, so our lampshades will not look odd. Playing with texture and pattern can be a good idea, but we have to adjust it with our other decorations and whole room atmosphere.
