How to Style Statement Lampshades in Every Room of Your Home
At Shadow Bright, we believe that lighting should do more than illuminate — it should inspire. Our bold, colourful lampshades are designed to make a statement, adding character and creativity to every corner of your home.
Whether you're drawn to vibrant florals, Art Deco geometrics, or painterly abstracts, here’s how to style statement lampshades in every room — and let your personality shine through.
🌿 Living Room: The Bold Centrepiece
Your living room is where life happens — make it unforgettable. A large drum shade in a striking print like instantly elevates a side table or floor lamp. Position it beside an armchair for a cosy reading nook or centre it on a console to anchor the room.
Top Tip: Layer your lighting. Mix a statement shade with subtle wall lights or fairy lights for atmosphere and depth.
🛏 Bedroom: Colour Meets Calm
Create a restful retreat that still reflects your style. In the bedroom, go for softer tones with an edge. A matching pair of bedside table lamps can bring symmetry and elegance, while a pendant shade overhead adds drama without clutter.
Top Tip: Consider a dimmer switch — it allows your shade’s glow to shift from energising to soothing in seconds.
🍽 Dining Room: Above the Table
A pendant shade above your dining table sets the tone for every meal. Choose a print with rich colour and movement to draw the eye and spark conversation. Our shades work beautifully hung solo or in pairs for a more contemporary look.
Top Tip: Match the colour story of your shade with table linens or artwork for a cohesive feel.
👩🍳 Kitchen: The Unexpected Accent
Lampshades in the kitchen? Absolutely. A pendant in a playful pattern adds personality to breakfast nooks or kitchen islands. If you prefer a cleaner palette, go for a graphic monochrome print to keep things crisp yet characterful.
Top Tip: Kitchens need functional lighting — make sure your statement shade is paired with good task lighting.

Every Shadow Bright lampshade is designed, printed, and handmade in the UK, with quality craftsmanship and fearless creativity at its core. Whether you're updating one room or refreshing your whole home, there's a shade to suit your space — and your story.
