Below is a rough guide to assist you in choosing the size of your lampshade.  I am here to help so please email me if you need any help with this.

Width

The lampshade’s width (diameter) should be roughly equal to the height of the lamp base. 

Proportion

The lampshade should be wider than the widest part of the bottom of the lamp base.  If the lamp’s dimensions fall between two shade sizes, choose the larger one. It will look better and distribute more light. Consider an oval shaped lampshade if you are limited for space.

Height

The lampshade’s height should be about two-thirds the height of the lamp base. 

Light needs

A larger, more transparent shade or a higher wattage bulb will provide more light.
