Drum lamp shades

About

Drum lampshades are the dependable sort, though thankfully not in a dull way. Their straight sides and clean circular shape make them wonderfully easy to live with, bringing a neat, balanced look to table lamps , floor lamps and ceiling fittings . They diffuse light evenly, sit comfortably in both modern and more traditional rooms, and rarely make a fuss about what they are paired with. A drum lampshade for a floor lamp can feel quietly contemporary, especially in a larger size with a simple linen or silk finish. Smaller drum lampshades for table lamps are excellent when you want the base to remain the star, while a drum ceiling lampshade can make overhead light feel softer and more resolved. Because the shape is so straightforward, drum lampshades are particularly useful for tying a scheme together. They work beautifully in bedrooms , sitting rooms and hallways , and they sit very happily alongside wall lights and pendant lights when you are building a layered lighting scheme. Simple shape, plenty of character, rather a good combination.
