Lampshade Diversity

Lampshades.  What do you think of when you see the word "lampshades?"  You probably think of your end-table lamp draped with an off-white, cone-shaped lampshade.  Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but the world of lampshades extends much further than your end table.  Just about anything that covers an exposed light bulb classifies as a lampshade.  Naturally, this leaves room for a slew of creativity.  And, pendant lighting is one area of the industry that has been on the forefront of such creativity.

So, what exactly is pendant lighting?  Well, undoubtedly, you've encountered pendant lighting before, but maybe you were unaware of the name.  Basically, a pendant light is a single light fixture that hangs from the ceiling, usually suspended by a cord, chain, or metal rod.  Often times, pendant lights will be used in multiples to line a kitchen counter or things of that nature.  One of the most common places you'll see lighting pendants is in restaurants.  They're an economical way to provide any lighting design with a simple, yet elegant, amount of light.  However, while hanging a light fixture might seem common, the originality rests in the lampshade.

Traditionally, there are three types of lampshades when it comes to lighting pendants.  A conventional shade hangs over the fixture like a typical lamp—hence conventional.  An inverted lampshade is a conventional lampshade flipped upside down—hence inverted.  A mini version is a scaled down conventional or inverted lampshade—hence mini.  Now, while these are the three basics, you can find a lot of diversity among them.  For instance, there are rectangular and coolie pendants.  There are contemporary drum-shaped pendants.  A lampshade can play a large role in the aesthetics of a room.  Lampshade manufacturers realize the need for diversity and typically produce a variety of pendant lighting options to fit your particular needs.  And for those who are truly creative, you can hang just about anything over a pendant light and have it function as a lampshade.  Buttons, beads, shells, or even silk flowers can help enhance any lamp.  When it comes to lampshades, the options are virtually endless.
