A lampshade is a fixture that covers the light bulb on a lamp to diffuse the light it emits. It may have practical as well as decorative purposes.
Lampshades made of fabric, lined with heat resistant PVC, and reinforced by metal frames to give them their shape, are called 'Hardback Fabric Lampshades'. The light output is usually better as the inner lining is reflective and there's enough room for the light to pass through the top and the bottom.
Drum Lampshades are modern and trendy, and popular across the world for their versatile use on table, floor and ceiling lamps. Like a cylinder, the top and the bottom diameters of a drum shade are equal and it's usually wider than it's height. The classic Empire Lampshades are slanted on the sides with a narrow opening at the top and a wider bottom for more light scatter. These are popular for table and bedside lamps.
Lampshades are popular home accents. While a centerpiece hogs the limelight on it's own, an accent piece stands out while complementing and enhancing your decor. It adds color, definition, drama and a bit of excitement. Using an accent piece is an easier, a quicker and a more affordable way to refresh your decor as compared to buying bigger items or going for a complete overhaul of your interiors. It is like refreshing your seating area with new cushions and throws every season as opposed to buying a new sofa or doing up the entire living room every time!
The shades you will find at Soul Curious, are all 'Statement Lampshades' or 'Standout Lampshades' or 'Lampshades with Character'. These are a part of a hot trend as per which plain old lampshades make way for bright and cheerful ones, that standout for their exceptional designs. There's a strong interest in lampshades fashioned from fun fabrics, that bring a touch of personality, and refresh the existing lighting pieces, while giving your home a sophisticated, well-designed look.
Hope this helps you understand your lampshade better. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your lampshade.
