Mistakes to avoid with lampshades
For interior design enthusiasts, lampshades are key elements in the layout of a space. However, certain mistakes are frequently made when choosing and maintaining these lighting accessories. In this article, we'll go over common mistakes to avoid so that lampshades blend seamlessly into your decor.
Ignoring the ideal size
It is essential to choose suitable sizes for your lampshades for the luminaire for which they are intended. Inadequate dimensions can unbalance the aesthetics of the room and affect the diffusion of light. It is therefore recommended to measure the height, diameter, width and length that are suitable, as well as the associated bulb to ensure perfect harmony.

Fleeing the quality of materials
The choice of quality materials is essential for the durability and appearance of the lampshades. Lower quality materials are likely to deteriorate over time, presenting problems such as fading, tears or warping. It is essential to ensure that lampshades are made from durable materials that are suitable for their use.
Forget the interview
The lampshade should harmonize with the overall style of the room. It is best to avoid mixing contemporary style lampshades with traditional decoration, and vice versa. Consistency is a key element in creating a harmonious overall aesthetic.

Neglecting lighting
Lampshades should be chosen according to the desired lighting atmosphere in the room. Translucent lampshades will diffuse soft light, while fabric lampshades will create a warm, subdued atmosphere. It is therefore important to take into account the desired lighting effect.
