Lamp Shades For Your Home :
posted January 5, 2008 - 12:09amThere is a wide range of shades as there is of fittings,make a choice keeping in with the style of your room.Fashions in lampshade styles come and go and range from tall,slim ones to flatter,wide shades that need a lot of space.
THE RIGHT SHADE:< p>
The right lamp shade will enhance the beauty of your lamp and the home it illuminates.The best way to fit your lamp for a shade is to take it to the store and try on various shades.Choose a lamp shade that allows for a small amount of empty space between the base of the shade and the contour of the shoulder of the base.The lamp's shade and its base should complement each other.
BULBS:
When buying bulbs for your lamp,first decide where your lamp will sit.Buy lower-wattage bulbs for smaller,narrower shades to help diffuse the heat and prolong the life of the shade's fabric.
CLEANING YOUR SHADE:
You should not use soap and water on your parchment lamp shades.Parchment shades are made of cardboard and are very sensitive.Water and even a mild soap will stain the shade.In fact,even fingerprints can leave permanent stains on a parchment shade.Instead,clean your shades frequently so the dirt and dust doesn't settle and stick.
