Selecting the right lamp shade can transform any room without any disruption. Instantly change the look of a dull ceiling light, table lamp or wall light without fuss or spending a lot of money. We stock a wide range of lamp shades to suit every kind of lighting, including shades for ceiling pendants, chandeliers, floor and table lamps and many more. Choose the right one for you, and it could be with you sooner than you think.
The table below should only be used as a guide only. Please be very aware that different shapes and designs can alter the overall look of your lamp. For instance, if the lamp shade includes tassels or fringe, it will appear much longer. Choosing the right size of shade to suit your lamp is a very individual preference. Some people don’t like to see any part of the lamp holder, so they would choose either a shade with a fringe or of a larger shade, whereas others may prefer to see a small amount of the lamp stem.
