5 years ago

Where can I get a lamp shade diffuser that goes above the shade and not under?

Why above? What look are you trying to achieve? Ordinarily the light that goes upwards will naturally be diffused by bouncing off the ceiling.

In a previous hone I bought these Dar Zaragoza lights and used them as bedside lights hung at chest height. I also needed a diffuser for the top, was concerned about the weight so discounted glass and had a disc of Perspex cut and it was just the job

Hello Bertie, To keep the space feeling light and not too cramped I would recommend using a lighter colour on the wall like Farrow and Ball, Slipper Satin and something a little darker on the panelling like, elephants breath. Jess.

Hi Ellen, We went with a very similar style but from a local company called Unfitted who handmade all their kitchens. We're having the units in a dark inky blue (Como from Zoffany) and a grey / white Quartz top. I can't share a pic yet as it's only being fitted later this month after all our building work is finished but here are some renders from our brilliant designer who helped us pull it all together from the ideas I liked (lots from Blakes!) to actually getting everything ordered and scheduled.

I think this much glass means that the room would be plenty light enough even if you painted it black. Personally I think that white could be a cold choice especially with modern LED lighting- I would choose coloured walls but there are many whites to choose from which might appeal more to you. A lot of the paint manufacturers have helpful sites that explain the undertones of a colour which will get exaggerated in large spaces. Personally I think that some of the whites are very yellow in electric light and whites with a blue undertone can look grubby in anything less than brilliant sunshine. Perhaps you should be looking to choose a neutral instead such as Farrow and Balls Joa White or Dimity. However if you tell us more about what is going in the room I am sure that there will be other suggestions.

I have a flat which we rent out. It was all painted in Timeless. I found it cold and with a green tinge. The flat is now painted in dulux easycare in pure brilliant white. No cutting in at the walls and ceilings. It is very hard wearing and marks and scuffs wash off easily.

Antonia H - the lighting needs to be down towards the dining table and not glaring light on the ceiling which has a horrible popcorn texture.

Will a dome lampshade that’s closed at the top not do the trick? For example https://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/edit-rondure-ceiling-pendant-light-700mm-white-and-gold.html

Yes, thank you. I'm not keen on the dome shades but this one is very nice.
