The right lampshade can transform your lamp into something exquisite, while the wrong shade can make even the most stunning lamp look badly proportioned or inappropriate for the room.
By following these simple tips, we will help you choose the lampshade that is right for your Studio Erhart lamp and your interior.

TRANSLUCENCY & MATERIALS
Translucent shades of sheer fabric, or alternative material are great for reading and they also bring ambient light to a room.
Opaque shades of silk or thick linen will direct light in a defined way, perfect for highlighting objects.
Pleated lampshades look more traditional and they are most appropriate in classical, whereas plain ones look perfect in a contemporary interior.
If the room is contemporary, go with a non-pleated lampshade!
