Go Over the Top with Lamp Shades
Every home needs a few fun elements. If you usually use pretty basic furnishings and are fond of neutral interiors your home will look good but it will be a little dull. Cream walls, natural wood floors and cream curtains or black, white and gray everywhere are great choices in color schemes but you do need to choose a few items to add a bit of welcome color and give the eye a break from the sea of neutrality.
Lamp shades are a great way to add some much needed color. They are easy to change and relatively cheap. Even if your lamp has a neutral base a colored lamp shade can work well.
You can buy opulent beaded or stained glass lamp shades to add a decadent touch or decorate your own plain lamp shades with all kinds of haberdashery such as feathers, braid, fringing or beading. You can really go over the top if the rest of your room is very plain as you need to have at least one or two focal points and a unique lamp or two will make a great conversation piece.
You could also look out for stylish lamp shades in discount stores to give you some ideas. For example the lamp shades at low cost furniture stores like IKEA are in the very latest designs at very low prices.
If you prefer you can cover plain lamp shades with colored paper or fabric. With all these craft projects glue gun will be your best friend and can fix anything you like into place.
Of course, you should not stop with your lamp shades when injecting color into your room. Add a few additional accessories in toning colors that will work equally well to add life to your decoration and these will help balance the colors in your lamp shades and make them seem part of the overall room scheme.
