Paper Lamp Shades
For a clean look, there is nothing better than a paper lamp shade. These shades are all hardback and are finished with a narrow tape on the top and bottom, so they have a minimal profile. Our white and vanilla paper shades are very translucent. The white is especially good for a modern look and the vanilla is warmer in tone. The kraft paper works well with mid-century lamps and wherever a very warm tone is needed. The black, and black with gold interior, are opaque and direct the light up and down.
Finding the Perfect Paper Lamp Shade
Paper lampshades are decorative coverings made from various types of paper that are used to diffuse and soften the light emitted by a lamp. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing you to add a touch of style and ambiance to your living space.
Consider the Size of the Paper Lamp Shade
First, think about the size of the lampshade and how it will fit with your lamp. If you have a smaller lamp, you'll want a lampshade that's proportionate in height and diameter.
On the other hand, if you have a larger lamp, you might opt for a bigger lampshade to create a more substantial and statement-making look. It's all about finding that sweet spot where the lampshade complements the lamp and the overall aesthetic of your space.
Decorating with Paper Lampshades
Here are some tips to guide you when you decorate with paper lampshades:
Choose the Right Size and Shape
Paper lampshades come in various sizes and shapes, so make sure you select one that complements the room and the lamp base.
A large, round shade can make a bold statement in a spacious room, while smaller, angular shades might suit a more compact or minimalist space.
Play with Colors and Patterns
Paper lampshades are available in a wide range of colors and patterns. You can choose a shade that matches the existing color scheme of your room or opt for a contrasting color to make it stand out.
Patterns can range from simple, geometric designs to more elaborate, artistic prints.
Consider the Lighting Effect
The thickness and color of the paper will affect the light diffusion. Lighter, more translucent papers will create a softer, diffused light, while darker or thicker papers may produce a more focused and dramatic effect.
Placement is Key
The placement of the lamp can also impact the overall look. A paper lampshade on a floor lamp can become a focal point in a room, while smaller shades on table lamps can create cozy reading nooks or accent lighting.
