When it comes to deciding on a lamp for a space, there are endless options that can help carry out the style and overall aesthetic for a room. But another option to consider is adding a statement-making lampshade. It’s a great way to update an existing lamp you already have or bring a new look altogether to a room by pairing a fun shade with a new lamp base. It’s a trend I’ve seen more of lately and there are so many different ways to upgrade the standard neutral shade to a bolder look.

I love this look below from Ben Pentreath — it is a great example of how to work colored AND patterned lampshades into a space and have it look balanced, vibrant, and elegant with the rest of the decor. Opting for a subtle wall shade like the gray shown is a great choice for balancing out with bold color choices like the lively orange lampshade.

Consider a solid color style, like this pale blue version from ZZDECOR, a shop found on Etsy. (And bonus, it is also velvet and features gold on the inside). Speaking of velvet, that is a great option to consider for adding some richness to a space. Along with ZZDecor, Anthropologie has some great velvet shade options I’m really loving, like this shade of theirs that comes in great color options.

Along with color options, you can try out a print or pattern shade style. THE INSIDE is a great resource if you are looking for that, with a wide array of prints and patterns (79+ options) for lampshades to choose from.

Adding a shade with some texture like a pleated shade or a textured woven fabric is another way to add a standout shade to your decor. I love this luxe black silk shade from WAYFAIR for a pleated look. It would really dress up a room for a more formal look. Or you can go all out with a pleated print look — I love this pleated AND pattern shade from OKA .
