In design, it’s the little things that matter and it’s the little things that can fall right through the cracks. Like many of us, when author and blogger Rebecca Woolf moved into a new home, she had great plans involving decorating. But months later, her “grandiose reading area, though eventual, has not yet happened. Instead? The dogs have a massive bedroom to share with our friendly dust bunnies.” If you want to avoid leaving rooms in your home with no function other than dog-bedroom, consider these tips for using lighting to tie rooms together and give them purpose.
Play the Color Wheel
Martha Stewart recommends using a color wheel when planning a palette for your home. She particularly advocates the use of monochromatic colors (different shades of the same color); she used monochromatic colors to stunning effect in her “Green Rooms.” In “Green Rooms,” Stewart creates unity by painting her custom lamp shades to match the color theme. Not the painting type? Find somewhere to make custom lamp shades for you!
Let the Purpose Dictate the Lamp Shade
Real Simple reminds us to “Think of living-room lamps as one part light and one part sculpture.” But at the end of the day, a lamp is a functional object, and your choice of lamp shade needs to reflect the function of the room it’s in. For example, try using an opaque lampshade to reduce glare when you watch television. Sometimes, the best way to create unity is by not creating disharmony.
Have Fun!
Real Simple talks about adding “playful touches” to a child’s room with adorable lamp shades, but really, shouldn’t every room in the house be fun? Interesting, eclectic lamp shades can make even the dourest of dining rooms playful, and why should your child be the only one who gets to make a custom lamp shade? Tie your room together with the one touch that isn’t expected: the touch of whimsy.
Most of all, though, remember to buy your lamp shades from a business that makes them from beautiful materials and sells them both ready- and custom-made. For over forty years, that business has been Just Shades. Just Shades is happy to make your lamp shades in a variety of sizes and materials, and all shades are available in soft-sided or hard-backed models.
