SHADES Shades come in many sizes, shapes and styles. If you are replacing a shade, you can instantly update the look of your table or floor lamp. It is important to get a size that is in proportion with the overall look. A shade should be neither too small nor too large. The important measurements are the top and bottom diameter and the height. (A, B and C right) Additionally what is called the drop will determine how the shade will fit onto the base (D right). For instance A (top diameter) x B (bottom diameter) x C (overall height) is how you determine the shade size. The shade size could be 7 x 14 x 11 as shown in the diagram to the right. You can measure your shade using the method shown to the right, however we do recommend that you bring in the base of your lamp when making a shade purchase.
LAMPS PLUS carries shades of every style to suit your decor. Also check out our Mix & Match program for some of the many options available to you.
