Adorn Your Light With an Easy-Pairing Medium Lamp Shade

Let's face it: proper lighting is a must-have in any home. Whether you need extra illumination in the living room, a table or desk lamp beside your bed for nighttime reading or a sturdy lamp to light up dark hallways, a lamp helps brighten, lighten, add extra warmth and lend a harmonious feel to any space. So if you're looking for a new shade for a floor or table lamp that will go with everything, check out our collection of medium lamp shades at Pottery Barn. Featuring small, medium, large and extra-large sizes to fit any standard lamp, these shades boast classic style and high functionality all rolled into one. Read on to learn more about these versatile lamps and how they can help light up your home.

The Medium Lamp Shade: What to Expect

Not too small or too big, the medium cotton-linen lamp shade is just right for lamps of all kinds - from short and decorative bases to long and lean glass-adorned beauties. Choose a smooth or textured shade that's tapered or straight-sided to suit your personal preferences and home esthetic. Featuring easy-pairing hues like crisp white, neutral sand, light gray and dramatic black, these lamps work in traditional, modern or transitional home themes, making them a long-lasting staple in any household.

Pair your great new medium lamp shade with any one of our mix-and-match lamp bases (sold separately). Introduce a couple of botanicals, a plain or patterned area rug and some light and breezy window curtains and rods in a complementary finish to bring your space together.
