Beaded Lamp Shade
A lamp shade adds light, colour and style to a living space. Today’s lamp shades come in all sorts of sizes, textures and designs. However what you can find at most places will be contemporary designs with little or no patterns or prints, sleek looks and fine lines. As such a beaded lamp shade may not be your style if you are into more modern and sleek looks and should only be considered if you appreciate items with intricate detail and rich almost classical looks.
Beaded lamp shades will usually feature beads hanging from the lower rim of the lamp shade or fastened onto the fabric. Crystal or glass beads in particular are ideal for beaded lamp shades as they do the most justice to the light emanating from the lamp and add a life of their own to the overall look and effect. However other types of beads are also used and lamp shades featuring plastic beads are both common and inexpensive, although somewhat tacky and low in quality. When buying a good quality beaded lamp shade make sure that all the beads are even and attached neatly and that they are both colour fast and light fast. This means you will not have the problem of the them losing their colour or lustre over time.
