If you have broken or old, faded lamp shades, it’s time to look for a replacement or upgrade. Lamps set the ambiance of the room, and a dusty shade might not be providing you with the best possible light. This is especially the case after you’ve had a long, hard day and have just put the kids to bed. You just want to be bathed in a nice, warm glow from your lamp.
We’ve found the best lamp shades to fit every room in your home, from the master bedroom to the den. From your classic cream to a deep coffee color, these shades will help create the kind of light you’d like for every room in your home. One of our picks even comes with two shades, which is perfect for rooms that have a set of lamps. The shades we selected are no-frills. There isn’t any special design, and they don’t have large roses wrapped around the bottom. They’re good, old-fashioned linen lamp shades. By old-fashioned, we mean reliable. These shades do look modern, but they’re unobtrusive. They would rather fade into the background, provide good ambiance and let your carefully selected lamp base do the talking.
The three lamp shades below are meant for lamps with harps, so if you do not have a harp, you will need to buy one for the lamp whose shade needs replacing.
