Hanging Lamp Shade FAQ

Is there an easy way to upgrade light fixtures without buying new ones?

Yes! You don’t need to purchase a brand-new pendant light to upgrade the look and feel of your lighting design. To elevate and enhance your home, consider swapping out the lamp shades or cages on existing fixtures. Just make sure that your new shades are compatible with the fixtures you have at home by checking the diameter of the shade fitter ring.

How do you measure a fixture for a pendant light shade?

There are a few different things to measure before choosing a light shade. First, you must determine whether the shade will fit in the space where you plan to install the fixture. Is there enough room between the shade and the wall or ceiling for a comfortable fit? This is an especially important measurement for flush-mount lighting and wall sconce lighting.

The second part of measuring your fixture for a shade is to check for compatibility between the two pieces. Measure the opening of the shade that attaches to the socket, as well as the socket diameter, to determine if the two match.

What’s the best material for a light fixture shade?

There are two ways to decide which shade material is best for your needs: your preferred aesthetic and your goal in directing and diffusing light.

  • Metal: Industrial or rustic, this material is completely opaque and will not diffuse light, only direct it.
  • Glass: Depending on the finish, this retro style offers you different levels of diffusion, from a subtle glow to a stronger shine.
  • Fabric: A classic choice for mid-century modern and minimalist homes, fabric shades offer a balance between diffusing the light and directing it.
  • Natural: Woven from natural materials, this is a good choice for boho, coastal, and rustic designs. The appeal here is primarily for style, less for function.

What type of pendant light shade should you use to prevent glare?

Softening the light from a strong bulb to prevent glare is called diffusion. To create a delicate glow, we recommend glass globes with a smoke or clear finish, as well as any of our fabric shades.
