"It all depends on how much ambient warmth or direct light you want in your space, what lampshade shape and material you prefer (from a traditional tulip bell silhouette to an organic, undulating form), your preferred design aesthetic, and type of fixture. For a soft, diffused glow, opt for a linen or paper shade that allows light to permeate the material."
"Designed by decorating icon Bunny Williams, the Cranborne lampshade boasts the signature sophistication that Williams has built a career on. The red blockprint, one of her best sellers, is more versatile than you might expect, pairing well with cottage, traditional, eclectic, and even modern decor styles. At 18 inches wide, this shape is wide enough to suit a floor lamp while still accessible for statement lamps on an entryway table or nightstand."
Lampshades appear in many forms and should be chosen according to desired ambient warmth or direct illumination, fixture type, and overall aesthetic. Linen or paper shades provide a soft, diffused glow by allowing light to permeate the material. Denser materials like gathered fabric or metal produce a more pointed, direct beam ideal for reading or highlighting focal points. Printed and patterned shades add visual interest and versatility, with options such as Bunny Williams’s Cranborne offering adaptable styling across cottage, traditional, eclectic, and modern interiors. Consider shade size relative to the base and experiment with contrasting bases for visual impact.
