You no doubt understand the importance of lighting. It can set the right ambience and give your home a unique look. But have you given thought to the shades on your lamps? They can make just as much of a difference in the appearance of and visibility in a room. Here are three benefits custom lampshades provide.

The most obvious benefit of a custom lampshade is that it adds to your home décor. You can choose any color, pattern, shape and size to fit the style of the room and create the look you want. It’s also a simple and inexpensive way to change your interior design.

Although you can use lamps without shades, it alters the lighting. A bare bulb can cause overbearing light and dark shadows. A shade softens and diffuses the light. The color and thickness of the shade also affect the brightness and hue.

A lampshade’s aesthetic and practical qualities contribute to creating the perfect mood in a room. They can set the tone for a relaxing reading area or draw attention to beautiful artwork hanging on the wall. The ambience influences how people interact with each other as well.

These are only a few of the reasons why you should use custom lampshades. To learn more, call Lamps & Lamp Shades Specialties at 310-836-6677.
