Our Picks
Plaid Night Light Lamp Shade
Each of these tartan plaid night light lamp shades comes with a base and a 5-watt incandescent bulb. The shade is 3.75” high and 5” wide at the base. The night light can be plugged into the top outlet, leaving the bottom outlet free.
Designer Advice:
We love the idea of switching out our everyday lampshades for ones that are seasonally appropriate! This adorable night light lamp shade is perfect for the festive winter season. If you use a night light in your bathroom, you could add other festive touches by trimming a hand towel with a similar red plaid or creating a bow tie for a fun accessory that sits on the countertop.
Clip On Plaid Country Lamp Shade
No need for a lamp harp with this plaid country lamp shade. You can simply clip the shade onto any standard-size bulb, and you’re good to go. The shade measures 8” high by 10” wide at the base. The cotton fabric can be gently spot-cleaned.
Designer Advice:
This plaid country lamp shade is just meant for a living or family room where your color palette already includes tan and dark brown or black. Start with a couch in a similar tan color — lighter, darker, or the same value as this shade. Add hits of black in window curtain rods, lamp bases, and metal furniture frames or wood feet. Add lots of cream colors and textures to create a cozy and inviting space.
Empire Plaid Lamp Shade
A pretty combination of green, raspberry, blue and off-white combine in this Empire plaid lamp shade. The shade is trimmed with a matching green scallop trim. It stands 7” high and is 11” wide at the bottom of the shade.
Designer Advice:
This pretty plaid lampshade is perfect for a lamp base that is between 9” to 13” tall. Measure the height of a lamp base from just below the socket cap to the tabletop. You’ll want to ensure the harp lamp is between 6.5” and 7.5” tall so you cover all the harp without “drowning” the lamp.
Buffalo Check Plaid Lamp Shade
This plaid lampshade has a spider attachment intended to sit on top of a harp. The shad is an empire style and is made from black and white plaid cotton. It measures 16” at the bottom and 8” at the top of the shade.
Plaid Chandelier Lamp Shades
These red plaid chandelier shades bring a touch of fun and color to any dining room chandelier. Each shade’s finished size is 5” high by 4.5” wide at the bottom and 3” wide at the top of the shade.
