How to Select a Base for your Custom Lamp Shade: Floor Lamps!

Last week I touched on pairing custom lamp shades with table top bases. The great thing about the three shapes Alluminare.com has for sale, is that they can all be used in table and floor lamp form. That's the great thing about using classic items in the home.

I chose to pair the 24 inch Drum Lamp Shade with a modern chrome plated intertwined steel tube base. The intertwined steel tubing mimics the drum shape of the shade, and really works well together. The shade is shown in Modern Circles in Black & White. The steel tubing helps accent the simple Black & White color palette on the shade.

Next, I paired the 20-inch Oval Lampshade in Brickell with a tall glass cylindrical base. I'm so inlove with this pairing, because it's so chic and modern. Trust me, I know this look isn't for everyone, but for those daring folks out there, it'll be dynamite. I love the blown up Brickell print, and I chose the color because blues and greens also go great with clear glass.

Lastly, the 12-inch Square Shade in Parkside is so chic and classic and would look great in just about any home. It's versatile in color and shape; it'd fit right in in a modern or country home. The tall, sleek, brushed aluminum base is perfect for a square shade. And the 12-inch square shade is a great mirror image to the 6 inch square base.
