Vintage Bulb Lighting Interior Decor
When shopping around for glass lamp shades that suit your home, remember to think about the color of light you want in your room, the size of the lamp you need to place the shade on, and your home's style.
Choosing a lamp shade that sets the desired ambiance in your home is essential. Everyone's taste on the color temperature of lights is different, so this is a subjective decision that depends entirely on your preference. If you're someone who thrives in a warmly lit room because it makes you feel welcome and cozy, consider choosing a lamp shade that is a neutral color and pair it with a warm light bulb, or select a lamp shade in warm color tones like red, burgundy or orange.
Blue lamp shades look beautiful, but it's essential to realize they cast off light that is also tinted blue as well, which can appear off-putting and cold. Consider your taste and needs when selecting the color of your glass lamp shade.
You should also consider direct vs. ambient lighting. Depending on the lamp's purpose and the room's tone, ensure you choose a glass lampshade that projects the light in the right direction. For side table lamps for reading or desk lamps, you need a glass lamp shade that directs the light downward; however, for a living area floor lamp, or bedroom lamp, a shade that diffuses the light, creates an inviting atmosphere.
You'll also set the tone for your living room or bedroom based on the style of lamp shade you choose. For a French country farmhouse aesthetic, you might choose an ornate glass shade that is frosted white with alabaster swirls for subtle detail. But for an urban loft, a sleek empire-shaped glass shade in a bold color can become an accent piece in an otherwise monochromatic space. Lighting can have dramatic effects on the way your home feels, so choose a lampshade reflects the room's purpose and your lifestyle needs.
