Pick the Perfect Lampshade

Choose a shade that complements the shape and scale of your lamp base and the colors in your room. This tall, cylindrical vase called for an A-shaped shade. There should be about 1 inch between the bottom of the shade and the top of the base. If necessary, swap out your harp or use a finial riser to ensure a proper fit. Note: Harps come in half-inch size increments.
