With many items of furniture, it's difficult to know where you should start unless you already have knowledge of a particular item. When looking at mission style lamp shades, there are certain things which you should take into consideration beforehand and various styles which you should think about. Here are some of the main features and things to consider.

What are the most popular styles of mission lamp shades?

Stained glass

Among the most popular styles of mission lamp shade is the stained glass design – this is a colorful and traditional design which fits well in many homes. You can buy this design for both rounded lamp shades and more pyramid-shaped or square shades. You can also request from some designers that the glass is hand-painted in your colors of choice.

Vintage style

The vintage style of mission lamp shades is ideal if you're going for a shabby chic or old traditional look in your house. These lamps are usually made from materials such as wood and amber, with the frame made from iron or metal.

Tiffany style

This elegant glass lamp shade style fits beautifully in many types of homes, including those with a modern design and those with a more traditional older design. The shade is a triangular shape which can make the room look taller while also adding balance if most of your furniture is short or chunky.

Bright and bold

Another type of mission style lamp shade available is the bright and colorful style with plenty of character. This is a good choice if your room is currently lacking in color and you want to add something which may brighten it up. Colorful lamps are different from the stained glass lamp shades since they are normally one color or a two-tone pattern. They are usually designed using glass, so can be fragile and therefore not always suitable for homes with children or pets.

Can mission style lamp shades be used outdoors?

Among the styles of mission lamp shades, you'll find varieties which are made for indoors and others which are suitable for outdoors. Even some of the lamps which are designed for indoor use may be suitable for outdoors if they are waterproof and weather-resistant.

What type of mission style lamp shade should I pick?

You should think about how much light you want your lamp to emit within the room. While you can purchase light bulbs with different levels and strengths of light, this doesn't always mean that you'll get as much light as you expect. Darker lamp shades will dim the lamp from the bulb, meaning you'll have a warmer and softer tone in the room. Plain glass shades or lightly colored lamp shades will allow the maximum amount of light to be emitted. You may be very attracted to the copper, amber and wooden styles of mission lamp shades, but it's easy to forget that this means sacrificing some light.

Finding the perfect mission style lamp shade for your home is easy! With useful tips and ideas of the styles which are available, you'll be able to choose your favorite in no time.
