Add atmosphere with black lampshades

Finding the right shade of black is an art. You could go for a geometric black and white lamp shade – like those with curious patterns found in our ikat lampshades collection – or you could choose a single hue instead.

Black lampshades work most effectively in a space when they're used to create a sense of drama. Think dark, plush curtains and sensual mood lighting – with an alluring, modern black lamp shade on a corner table, it's easy to set the scene.

Lampshade purpose

Depending on the material that you choose, it's likely that a black lampshade will be opaquer than a lighter, neutral shade might be. To achieve balanced light in your space, we recommend layering your lighting with a combination of table lamps, wall lights and ceiling lights.

However, if you start by thinking about the room that you're going to be decorating, a lamp shade with a bold, dark colour might be the best way to add a sublime finish. Black lampshades exude sophistication, especially within monochromatic interiors.

A bedside lamp with a black shade might not cast enough light to be used as ambient lighting for your bedroom. However, with a small and dainty wooden bedside lamp, you could create a lovely feature for cosy evenings in – with just enough lighting to wind down before bed.

Styling your new black lamp shade

Lastly, don't forget that the size and shape of your new black lampshade both play an important role in determining its overall effect – on top of how well it goes with the lamp that you've chosen, of course.

If you've picked out a lovely floor lamp for the entrance hallway, you'll need to make sure that you choose a large enough black lampshade to complement the height. It's usually a better choice to go for the larger shade if you're struggling to choose between one size or the other.

Luckily, we've written a complete guide to choosing a lamp shade to help you to find the perfect piece and complete your design scheme with a delightful touch. You can also head over to our Pooky blog for exclusive tips from interior designers.
