Why Do You Need a Lamp Shade for all of your Lamps?

Lamp shades are something that might see as “extra” when you’re decorating your house. What’s the purpose of those things, even? Well, we’re here to tell you that lampshades are super important on any light fixture in your house.

Why do you need one?

When you don’t have a lampshade, the light from the bulb is just going to splay out in all directions, without any hindrance. When you look at a bare bulb, you are going to feel uncomfortable and you might even damage your eyes by looking at that!

The lamp shade is also going to help create a new ambiance that can’t be achieved with a simple bulb. No matter if you’re installing bedroom wall lights with a pull cord or any other type of light, you need a shade.

Common Lamp Shades

When you are using a floor lamp to light your room, most of the time the lamp shade will use paper or cloth to distribute the light. Light is also going to be able to flow from the top to the bottom when you have a cloth shade.

On the other hand, when you have a table lamp, the top opening is going to be smaller than the bottom, which allows more light to show onto the table.
