Choosing a new lamp shade for a favorite lamp or lighting fixture may seem like a simple task, but with so many options available, finding a quality lampshade that will fit your small lamp and match your room décor can be a challenge. You want to get it right the first time.
To make sure you have a wide selection of small lamp shades to fit your small table lamp, buffet lamp, or small bedside lamp, LampsUSA has put together a collection of small lamp shades that are available in many colors, fabrics, and shapes, including small empire and bell shades.
The size of the shade should be the first thing to consider when looking for a small lamp shade replacement. Because the size of the shade is foundational to lampshade shopping, LampsUSA notes the size of the lamp shade in each description, as well as in the size filters.
Small lamp shades from LampsUSA can be filtered by the slant size: Small (8”, 9", 10", and 11"H slant) will fit best on a small bedside lamp, desk lamp, or table lamp base that ranges from 16-inches to 22-inches tall; and Mini (4”, 5", and 6"H slant) are perfect for chandeliers and sconces.
The side height, known as the slant, is proportionate to the bottom measurement of a small lamp shade. It is an important measurement to ensure your new lampshade is balanced in its appearance. When combined with the slant, a small lampshade generally measures 8-inches, 10-inches, 11-inches, or 12-inches across the bottom.
The right size shade will look good when it is fitted to the lamp base. For details, The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide to Shades shows you how to make sure your small lamp shade looks good on your lamp.
Depending on the style of your home décor and the look that reflects your personality, there is a small lamp shade that will complement your bedroom, living room, or office.
Neutral burlap textures on an empire lamp shade work well with casual and rustic home furnishings, while white and neutral-tone linen and silk lampshades in the shape of a bell are traditional in appearance. If you prefer a more contemporary or transitional feel in your room, a small square lamp shade with right angles can give your room a sleek modern look.
