Light your home beautifully

Update your room with a statement lamp shade

Here's how to get the look:

  • Choose a bold print shade, then tie it into your room scheme by repeating its colours in cushions.

  • Make the shade the loudest pattern and colour in the room so it stands out and isn't confused by other patterns.

  • Go for a plain backdrop to keep the rest of the room feeling calm and simple.

  • If you're going for a bold shade, keep the lamp base simple so the shade is the focal point.
