Lighting is a critical component in any room — yet lamp and pendant shades are often overlooked as an easy place to inject personality and style. My favorite shape lately is the drum shade, which I admire for its simplicity and subtle glamour.
{When I pinned this image, I captioned it “proportion perfection.” The dramatic size of the drum shade echoes the round dining table and provides contrast to the diminutive sconces on the opposite wall. Bravo, Samantha Pynn!}
{The khaki color of this pendant drum shade picks up on the mocha of the upholstered benches and draws the eye up along the windowed wall. How I dream of having a similar breakfast nook one day!}
{The simple shape of a drum shade is equally effective on a table lamp. Jessica Stam uses them to break up the straight lines of her modern apartment.}

What do you think of this classic shape? How have you used lamp shades to zhush up your own home?
I totally agree…they make such a statement!
LOVING your choices 🙂
I’m really enjoying drum lampshades right now….our rental apartment has one over our island, and I really do love it!
I just installed a basic diy version in my breakfast room….wonder if you could spray the interior of the shade gold? Love those!
I NEEEEED those table lamps. Please and thank you!
Love the drum shades just got one for my store:)
Love drum shades! I tend to be drawn towards the darker ones more so than the lighter ones.
