Natural Lamp Shades

Find the Perfect Natural Lamp Shade

Deciding on natural-colored lamp shades to match your aesthetic can be challenging. But luckily, we’re here to help!

Finding the perfect lamp shade involves considering several factors, such as size, shape, material, and design style, to complement your space and lighting needs.

We’ve outlined some of the most important factors to help you select the right lamp shade for your needs.

The Room

One essential factor that you need to consider when choosing a lamp shade is the room that you’re going to put it in. 

To break this down further, some of the things you need to consider are:

• The size and shape of the room
• How much natural light enters the room
• Exactly where you plan on placing the lampshade

Once you have a better idea of the above, finding a suitable shade will be easier. 

Just to give you an example, if you’re working with a small space and plan on buying a lampshade that will be placed in or near the corner of the room, oval lamp shades are a good option to consider. 

This is because they’re more narrow than a drum or empire, and their simplistic design can make them the perfect corner piece for your space.

The Lamp Base

The base of the lamp is another feature that you need to consider before buying a lampshade. The reason is that some lamp shade shapes may be better suited to certain lamp base shapes.

For example, rectangle lamp shades look great when installed on lamp bases with rectangular or square shapes. This is because both elements of the lamp will appear symmetrical (even if they’re not the same size), which is always pleasing to the eye.

Size

The size of the lampshade that you plan on going for is another key factor to consider. Whether you’re shopping for your living room, kitchen, bedroom, or another part of your property, you want to get a lampshade that fits the size of the room.

If the room is large with a minimalistic aesthetic, a larger lampshade works well. For more compact spaces, a smaller lampshade may be a more suitable choice.

The Color

The color of the lampshade will play a big role in setting the scene in the room. If you’re looking to achieve a more natural or minimalist look, opting for a natural-colored lampshade could be a great idea.

Textures

The texture of your lampshade will play a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance of your space. 

For instance, the stick box rectangle lamp shade instantly offers a casual, inviting feel, making it perfect for dining rooms and leisurely spaces. 

In contrast, a raw silk short drum lamp shade with rolled edges oozes luxury, adding a different dimension to a room.

Decorating With a Natural Lampshade

Natural-colored lampshades are key for establishing your desired style and ambiance. They offer a timeless elegance and versatility, which can easily blend into almost any interior design scheme.

During the day, a natural-colored lampshade can be a subtle yet sophisticated addition to your space. During the evening, when the light is on, it’ll provide a soft glow that exudes warmth and comfort.

Though these lampshades are commonly bought for bedrooms, they are also very popular for living room spaces.
