Designer Advice:
Coastal lamp shades can feature many types of ocean imagery, from beaches and sea animals to boats. Your boat preference can play a role in which lampshade ends up in your shopping cart.

Designer Advice:
The main factor for vintage nautical lamp shades is faded neutral coloring that looks aged and used. This lamp’s imaging gives the appearance of a hand-crafted shade constructed of various postage stamps that layer together for a completed design.

Each of these icon pictures has different shades, depending on the color of the square.
