Lamps and shades are a great way to add diversity, elegance and style to your home. Lamps and shades can add warmth and color to any room and can help create subtle beauty in your home or place of business. Lamps and shades come in several designs and patterns that complement each other and can meet the needs of any consumer. The lighting in the room can change the mood and atmosphere in mere seconds, but you need the right lamps and shades to create this effect. With the specific look of your lamps and shades you will be able to portray your style, which may be contemporary, traditional, antique, or even funky. If you are planning on adding some dimension to a room with some lamps and shades there are a few things that you should know. You are basically looking for a balance in lamps and shades sizes that will help the lamp not look top heavy or bottom heavy when viewed from a distance of about 20 feet away. Having a lamp shade that is either too big or too small for the light fixture can look out of place. It is important that you match the shape of the shade with the shape of the floor lamp or table lamp and mix things up a bit by using different shapes for each lighting fixture. You will want to pick a base that matches with your current d?cor. This may be a lamp made of a specific type of wood, metal or painted with an antique finish to match a certain room. Most people choose a fairly basic lamp and let the shade do all the talking. Lamps and shades are available in various shapes. These shapes may vary for shades in round, oval, rectangular, dome, semi-circle, cylindrical and prism, to name a few. Lamp shades are easy to use and to clean and are easy to replace as styles and rooms change with the fashions. Shades can come in several time specific periods. There are beautiful antique lamps and shades of the early Victorian periods as well as lamp and shades from the western era and so many other choices. Lamp shades can be made from several transparent materials including glass, cloth, and silk. Ornamental items are used to enhance the look of shades and can include colorful cloth embroideries, beads, shells, paintings, fabrics, stained glass and prints are just some of the most common materials used to decorate shades. There are some interior decorating rules when selecting the right size of lamps and shades for your lighting fixtures. The shade must be no smaller than one-third of the height of the light fixture. Some people tend to buy a lamp shades that are too large for the lamp base. Next, remember to choose a shade that will cover the fixture's hardware. So, if you want to make an impact with your room d?cor, picking out the right lamps and shades would be a great place to start. The best part about buying new lamps and shades is that you can coordinate them throughout your home or you can choose different lamps to create a different look and feel in every room.
