Fabric lampshades : faites le bon choix

A fabric lampshade offers precise and controlled illumination, perfectly tailored to every living space.

Fabric lampshades are an essential choice for anyone seeking visual comfort, elegance and customisable indoor lighting. Whether as a table lamp, ceiling light or pendant, a fabric lampshade softens the light, reduces glare and shapes the mood of your room. Sizes range from compact 15 cm diameters, ideal for bedside lamps, to large shades of 50 cm or more, perfect for living or dining rooms. Fabric lampshades filter light, conceal the bulb and create a warm atmosphere, while suiting all decorative styles from classic to contemporary.

Which material is best for a fabric lampshade?

Fabric lampshades: Fabric remains the most popular material for lampshades, offering soft, even light ideal for relaxing spaces. Cotton, linen or velvet fabrics with weights between 200 and 400 g/m² filter light gently. A 30 cm shade is ideal for a bedside lamp; 40–50 cm works for floor lamps and pendant lights. For a cosy feel, choose natural or pastel shades. Fabric models are easy to maintain—just regular dusting keeps them looking fresh. For more options, explore the fabric lighting collection for refined variants.

Glass lampshades: Less common but highly sought-after, glass lampshades enchant with their transparency and dynamic play of light. Opal glass diffuses a soft glow, while smoked or coloured glass adds a striking graphic touch. A 25–35 cm glass shade is ideal for halls or bathrooms—especially with an IP44 rating for moisture resistance. Glass is easy to clean with a soft cloth and suitable cleaner for lasting clarity.

Metal lampshades: For a contemporary or industrial touch, metal lampshades are the go-to option. Metal directs light precisely, often downward, making it a great fit for reading corners or desk lighting. Brass, copper or matt black finishes suit modern interiors. A 20–30 cm shade works for accent lighting, while a larger 40 cm model or above can provide a focal point in living spaces.

How to choose the right size and brightness of lampshade for your room

The choice of lampshade depends on both the area to be lit and the function of the space. For bedrooms, choose a 20–30 cm shade combined with a 5–8 W LED bulb (400–800 lumens) for gentle, relaxing light. In the living room, opt for a 40–60 cm shade and a 12–15 W bulb (1200–1500 lumens) for comfortable general lighting. Suspension height matters too—pendants should hang 80–100 cm above a table or 200–220 cm from the floor for central lighting. A floor lamp with a shade offers indirect light, ideal for reading nooks or to enhance atmosphere next to a sofa or armchair. For extra inspiration, the fabric floor lamps collection has coordinating solutions.

In dining rooms, a pendant shade should cover about half the table’s width for balanced lighting—for example, a 40 cm shade for an 80 cm wide table. In kitchens, choose a compact, easy-to-clean model with a 10–12 W bulb (1000–1200 lumens) for practical light; metal or glass shades are especially suitable here.

Matching your lampshade to the style of your decor

Lampshades come in all styles: Scandinavian, vintage, industrial, classic or modern. For a minimalist look, choose a cylindrical shade in natural linen or white cotton for seamless style. Geometric patterns or bold colours work in contemporary or retro spaces, while pleated or ribbon-trimmed shades add a discreet touch of sophistication. To complete the look, coordinate your lampshade with matching table lamps on side or console tables.

For layered lighting, lampshades are also at home on multi-arm chandeliers, with each arm sporting a small shade for a classic yet updated effect. The chandeliers with fabric shades collection demonstrates this trend perfectly, ideal for family-style living and dining rooms.

Finally, to create a soft bedroom mood, pair a lampshade with a matching bedside lamp, choosing a bulb with a colour temperature of 2700–3000 K for a warm, soothing glow. For even more flexibility, opt for dimmable bulbs to adjust the intensity according to the time of day.
