My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Natural Paper Shade on Ceiling Light - is it too yellow???

9 years ago

I bought the below light fixture and several others for a whole house reno. Love them. When they arrived every shade (natural paper shade) looks yellow/tan. It doesnt look that way to me in the picture below or in any other picture I have seen. Any advice here? Once they are installed does the yellow from a paper shade sort of fade into the background?

    It's hard to know without a pic of your actual shade. What a nice fixture, though. I like a yellower shade because of the warmth it adds. You can probably affect the tone by which lightbulbs you use, too. Some stark white ones will lessen the yellow effect, I think.
