Design Details: Colorful Lampshades
Pick an Unexpected Hue to Top Your Table Lamp or Sconce
Each spring I find myself wanting more color in my home. A simple way to bring the changing season into our interiors is through flowers, vibrant pillows and other small accessories. But what about a colorful lampshade? Placing a few in a room can be unexpected, and as the examples in this ideabook show, they can become a dynamic aspect of the room design.
A lampshade featuring a pattern of soft hues creates an understated yet effective contrast against the pale blue walls.

Placing the red lampshade on a white lamp set against brilliant blue walls was a brilliant move! The colors are repeated on the panels hung above the bed, while white linens balance this abundance of strong color.

| Two orange lampshades set in the window effectively repeat the orange used elsewhere in the room as an accent color, as on the side chair and in the floral display. |

One of my favorite DIY projects is to dress up a simple white lampshade using fabric, trim and fabric glue. This charming lampshade is a great example of how effective this project can be.

| Sky blue shades featuring a beautiful sheen stand out against walls in a similar hue, adding to the character of this room in a way white shades could not.
