CONTEMPORARY LAMPSHADE REPAIR / RESTORE

Two very large (4″ x 25″ x 14 5/8″) contemporary lampshades restored.  The original lampshade had a standard linen fabric laminated styrene shade.

After 20 years, the lampshades discolored but their lamp bases are a beautiful accent to their room.  They could not find new lampshades to fit and could not find new lamps they liked or complimented the rooms color scheme like the current lamp bases they already had.

Contemporary Painted “Black Out” Lampshade

My customer painted the shade to be able to continue to use their contemporary lamp bases.  I see quite a few of these.  Paint works very well on these hard shades but it also turns it into a “black out” shade.  The light only comes out of the top and bottom of the shade, but will not show through the actual shade, limiting the lighting.

Restored Contemporary Designer Ivory Linen Lampshade

 

We restored the original contemporary shades with “Designer Ivory Linen.”

The new shades light the whole room and accent the rooms decor.
