LAMPSHADES

Lampshades have the potential to become stunning centrepieces in a room, yet are often neglected pieces of interior furnishing. A well-designed pendant shade can revitalize a room, unify an overall design, or provide a centre of interest on a plain ceiling. Table lamps and sconces too have great design possibilities; illuminating dark corners, casting intriguing shadows or shimmering light around a room. This
potential for creating atmosphere and ambience is why lampshades are often the perfect interior design accessories. However, they can be expensive to buy, or you may not be able to find exactly what you want. The solution is to make your own, following the advice, tips and ideas offered in Lampshades.
Whatever your needs or level of skill, this book offers something for everyone. There is a variety of styles: country checks, contemporary chic, colourful ethnic, and different shapes and types of shades to suit everyone's requirements, box, cylinder, pendant, and even star-shaped. A range of different crafts is used: beading, simple sewing, decoupage, paint effects and ribbon weaving, each made fully accessible in an informative techniques and equipment section. Furthermore, each of the 22 projects are clearly shown in step-by-step photographs to ensure perfect results and professional finishes. Many of the projects are surprisingly easy to make, using inexpensive materials and a few simple techniques to transform an old shade or bargain buy into an attractive part of your decorative scheme.
