Gathered lampshades

About

Gathered lampshades have a wonderfully soft way of finishing a lamp. The fabric folds bring texture and movement, catching the light rather gently and making even a simple base feel more considered. They are less crisp than a drum shade , less formal than some empire shades , and all the better for it if the room wants warmth, ease and a little decorative charm. A gathered lampshade is particularly lovely where the light needs to feel kind. On table lamps beside a sofa or bed, it softens the whole corner. On smaller wall lights , it can add just enough fabric and pattern to make the fitting feel part of the room rather than an afterthought. The great pleasure of gathered lampshades is that they do not need to shout. A plain linen gathered shade brings softness and texture; a patterned one can lift a quiet bedroom or sitting room rather beautifully.
