Ikat lampshades

About

Ikat lampshades are for rooms that could do with a little movement. The patterns have a softened, almost hand-drawn quality, so they bring colour and interest without feeling too neat or too perfect. Rather wonderful when a room needs character, but not another hard edge. An ikat shade can be the thing that wakes up a plain lamp base, pulls several colours together, or gives a quiet corner a bit of life. They are particularly charming on small lampshades for bedside tables and wall lights , but larger ikat shades can look superb on generous table lamps or a confident floor lamp . The pattern does the decorating while the light keeps everything soft. Because ikat already has plenty of personality, it often works best with a little breathing room. Pair it with plain linens , painted furniture, warm metal finishes or simpler empire lampshades elsewhere in the scheme. For rooms that want a properly layered feel, ikat sits beautifully with bedroom lighting and relaxed sitting room lamps .
