Introducing The Light Edit

The new Fermoie Box Pleat in Ivory Plain on gilded lamps by Stray Dog Designs at The Shade Shop in Charlottesville, Virginia.

A well-chosen lampshade is often the feature that completes the design of a room. Its scale, shape, material, color, and proportion can change a lamp—and a room—entirely. A patterned lampshade can bring character to a quiet corner; a different silhouette can make a familiar lamp feel brand new. Once illuminated, a lampshade helps determine the atmosphere within a room. At The Shade Shop, these are the details we consider every day. The Light Edit is where we’ll share more of what we know, what we notice, and what inspires us.
