Buying Guide

Woven lamp shades can be handmade or machine stitched. The material and type of weave used dictates how the light is delivered. Most shades have a filtering insert inside of the shade for protecting the structural integrity of the woven material in addition to toning down the brightness of the bulb.

Shades come in assorted colors, styles and shapes that give any room a natural ambiance of light. Woven material, also called textured, warms a decor that would otherwise have a sharp appearance.

The selection of materials used for woven lamp shades is endless. From thick burlap string to fine linen thread, shades are available for any type of decor. The type of weave and color can often bring a different style to a room by updating a shade. Here are some examples.

  • Open Weave - An open weave means that the threads never come together. Burlap, rattan and seaweed can be placed in this category. Due to the bulkiness of the material, the weave is never completely closed. This leaves a very textured look.
  • Plain Weave - A simple under and over tight weave that is commonly found in cotton blends. Machine made, it is also one of the most inexpensive types of fabric weaves. Often used with natural linen shades.
  • Basket Weave - Loose-fitting yarns provide height and width in shades that create a highly textured look. Regular weaves consistent with the plain weave can be used in creating these types of shades.
  • Satin Weave - Saved primarily for satin-like and Charmeuse fabric, the weave is fine and closely set for presenting a sheen for refinement.

  • Classic drum shaped shades are popular for almost any decor. They can have a round smooth shape or be slightly tapered from top to bottom.
  • Think of the liberty bell when looking for a bell lamp shade. Skinny at the top and wide at the bottom, the bell shape used to be classified as a feminine traditional style with sleek satin weaving. However, rattan is emerging in the bell shape as a robust welcome in entryways.
  • Empire shades are known for a hard shell insert. Straight and angled by 50% to 80% from top to bottom, they are well served in contemporary decors. Because of the hardback construction, handmade woven lamp shades can present an open or basket weave on the outside. Rustic and industrial designs welcome this change.
  • Coolie lamp shades take on the shape of a wide Chinese hat that adds a dramatic flair at the bottom. A plain weave and void of color, this type of shape works well with burlap in country or Charmeuse in traditional decors.

Make sure to measure your shade to lend the right proportionate height and width. The lamp shade should be 2/3 the size of the lamp body. Keep the base simple in design for woven lamp shades with lots of texture.
