Return those lamps...and get what you love without having to replace shades...shades can be tricky...post the lamps you bought and aI can see if there is another lamp that is similar but with a white shade.

By the time you get new shades, you could get new lamps.

There are shops that specialize in lamp shades. They are not inexpensive as I warned DH before we went in to replace three shades. But the quality and service are worth it. The staff understand the importance of size, color, and texture to show a lamp “in the best possible light” ( lol). Often the harp is the problem, too tall or too short. If you’re in love with the lamp, take it to a specialty store. If it is inexpensive, take it to Target or Lowe’s, etc. They sell separate shades and harps. Not everything can be purchased on the internet. Although I buy a lot on the internet, I would never buy a chair or a sofa before sitting on it and feeling the fabric, etc. As Sophie would say, “cheap Chinese crapola”.

Hi jserbe,

We know that this is an old post but if you're still looking for a replacement lamp shade, perhaps considering a custom replacement lamp shade from Valentine Shade could be an option for you.

Valentine Shade is the premier custom shade manufacturer based in Los Angeles, CA and has been in business for over 20+ years. It's considered one of the last remaining custom shade manufacturers that makes light fixture shades in-house and in the USA.

All that is needed from you is the desired spec's (ideally, a shop drawing), quantity, or at least a picture of the shade that you'd like to be made and send all that info to this email: sales@valentineshade.com and a representative will be touch in with you to walk you through the process.

Lastly, in light of the coronavirus pandemic and understanding that many businesses may be slow or stretched thin, Valentine Shade will remain open for business as usual so please do not hesitate to send in any custom shade requests that you may have.

We hope this information will help you make a more informed decision on your home needs.

Very Best,
