Reader Question :Lamp Shades

This is a bit overdue, but a reader recently asked me about vintage lamps and finding the right lamp shade for them, since let’s face it, usually vintage shades are gross, stained, or make the lamp look like a thrifted lamp versus a modern statement piece.

I pretty much always prefer drum shades. I don’t like when shades slope as a general rule. And a white, black, or natural linen shade always get a thumbs up.

You can always find some options online and here are some ones I like that are also affordable.

This one is $24.95 but was recently on sale for $17.96 and I imagine it will be again.
