Pick the right shade for you

Drum Shade
(also includes rctangle, oval, hourglass shapes) Large circular openings at the top and bottom of the shade throw light above and below. The light is fairly bright making it a good choice for living rooms.

Column Shade
(also includes square shapes) Small openings at the top and bottoms of these long, narrow shades cast light above and below. Column shades work best in bedrooms and dining rooms.



Column Shade


Cone  Shade
(also includes bell shapes) A smaller opening at the top and large opening at the bottom funnel the majority of light downward. This shade is ideal for offices, or task lighting for reading.



Cone ShadeA lampshade, after all, is not just a lampshade. They are the jewelry of a room, little treasures that make a space glow.  Like choosing the perfect accessory, picking the right lampshade is easy with a little guidance.
