8inches Lamp

This is a shade in the traditional sense, a tapered drum form meant to sit over a lamp fitting and take the hard edge off a bare bulb. The profile is deliberately plain, with no fussy ornament to date it, so it suits a bedside table, a hallway console or the reading corner of a living room without competing with the furniture around it. Printed shades have become one of the most popular things people make for their own homes, largely because they are so easy to tailor. The same design can be run bigger for a floor lamp or smaller for a matched pair either side of a bed, and a consistent set of shades is a cheap way to tie mismatched lamps together. One sensible note: pair any printed shade with a cool-running LED rather than a bulb that gets hot.
