The Art of Choosing the Right Lampshade 

Choosing Lamps for your Living Room

Your living room is the common space of the home, where the family likes to mingle and live. It has to be the most relaxed and inviting room in the household, considering this is also where you entertain guests. In today’s time, living rooms are curated with a modern and aesthetic feel. With that in mind, it is wise to go for patterns that work well with the contemporary spaces.  Coming towards the lighting level, it is important to note that a lampshade with a wide base works well for ambient lighting, usually a 35 or 40cm diameter if displayed on a table or sideboard and 40cm plus for a floor lamp. 

Bedroom Lampshade Ideas 

Your bedroom is a place where you recharge, sleep and repeat. Lampshades in such spaces are bound to boost a sense of calm and comfort. We highly suggest using fabrics in muted tones, to create a relaxing ambience, but of course if you want to make the ambience dramatic, you can always go for the darker busier shades. For the light level on bedside lamps, it is advisable to go for lighter patterns, giving you flexibility to read or to relax. 

Home Office Lampshade Ideas 

The office is a space that demands productivity. It is actually the opposite from the other two spaces discussed above. It requires a lampshade that has a combination of practicality, yet stylish. Yes, it can be tricky to get the right lampshade for your work space, but we have the right tips for you. When choosing lamp shades for home office,  opt for bold patterns as they encourage productivity and creativity. If your home office has a modern feel, then its better to stick with solid colors and subtle textures. When it comes to the ideal light level for a work space, it is suggested to keep it well-lit choosing a brighter bulb. 

Lampshades for your Dining Room

A dining room is not only limited to having meals. It is a space designed to have good family conversations while having your comfort food. Buy pendant or table lamp shade online in luxury fabrics to add elegance - just remember to add a note if you are choosing a pendant lampshade for above your dining table as we need to fit the frame differently. 

How to Clean your Lampshades 

Once you have decided on the perfect custom made lampshades for various spaces, here are some tips on maintaining its beauty and functionality. 

Dust Everyday

The harsh reality is that lampshades attract dust which makes cleaning them everyday mandatory. Most importantly, the dust makes your lampshades look dull and unpresentable. In order to make them look shinier, you can use microfiber cloth, or lint roller to eradicate unwanted dust particles. For lampshades with intricate designs, you can opt for vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachments.

Spot-on Cleaning

If you have children at home, then this is an essential one. Accidents happen, and the chances increase if you have a toddler at home. Clean your lampshades immediately, if there is a coffee spill or an unwanted ball pen mark. For fabric lampshades, we advise to clean with warm soapy water, with gentle rubs. However for paper or parchment shades, you can use damp cloth to clean the stain effectively.

Turn Periodically

This is an important one! While natural lights add more energy to your room it can cause your delicate custom made lampshades to fade. Especially if you live in Dubai and you know how sunlight can be brutal. Every few weeks, remember to rotate your lampshade, so the light is equally distributed and maintains a consistent shade over all.
