Lamps & Lampshades

Select a shape based on your lamp base and room style:

• Empire shades work well on curved or ornate bases found in traditional living room lampshades.
• Drum shades complement contemporary, straight-sided bases—ideal for minimalist table lampshades.
• Tapered shades suit classic or transitional lamp designs.
  

For a balanced look, the shade’s diameter should be roughly twice the width of the lamp base. For living room lampshades, consider a larger drum or empire shape to fill seating are

areas; for bedside table lampshades, a smaller tapered shade can provide focused reading light without overwhelming the nightstand.

Measure Dimensions: Lamp shades come in various sizes and fitter types, so it’s important to match both the dimensions and attachment style to your lamp. First, measure the diameter of your lamp base or harp—common shade diameters range from 8″–10″ (small) to 16″–18″ (large), but always check the exact product dimensions.

Verify Fitter Type: Next, verify the fitter type (spider, uno, or clip-on) to ensure compatibility with your lamp’s hardware. Cottons & Satins clearly labels each lampshade with its size and fitter type so you can select a shade that both looks proportionate and fits securely.

By measuring your base and checking the fitter type, you can confidently shop lampshades online knowing the shade you choose will look proportionate and sit securely.

Cottons & Satins offers lampshades in cotton, linen, and velvet. Each fabric brings its own texture and aesthetic, allowing you to choose a lampshade that complements your interior decor.
