How to Select a Base for your Custom Lamp Shade

When purchasing a Custom Lamp Shade from Alluminare.com, it's important to know what type of base you'll be placing it on. Lucky for you, Alluminare.com sells the most popular shapes in lamp shades; the Drum, Oval and Square. All three look great in suspension form, or as a table/floor lamp.

First up, the Drum Shade (shown in Parkside) looks great when paired with an oval base. The juxtaposition of the rectangular shade, and oval lines of the base work great together. You can also pair this lamp shade with a tear drop/pear shaped base.

Next, the Oval Shade (Shown in Black Linen) is super versatile. You can pair it with tall or short bases. I happen to really love oval shades with tall, slender bases. The one I chose has extra details that would help add interest to a room.

Lastly, the Square Shade (shown in Orange Madras) is another staple in the lighting world. It's extremely versatile as well, but, I like to keep things very basic with it. I love pairing square shades with square bases. Maybe it's the mirror affect that helps it work so well. It's a super modern look for a staple shade.
