Dining Rooms Design Dilemma

Plain or patterned lampshade for these lights??

last year

Really struggling to find candle clip lampshades for this room. Can have them custom made but don’t want the room too dark or too busy. Any suggestions for type of fabric eg striped / pattered / plain / pleated would be much appreciated. Window cushion is Linwood in Sea Holly. South Easterly light in the room.

Many thanks in advance.

Jim Lawrence also have a good selection, there are a few that would work

I like patterned but can’t see if you have any other patterns in the room?

i also love a pleated shade for texture

Laura, there are many papers with navy and white, for example Patara Ikat by Thibaut. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Thibaut+Patara+Ikat&biw=1516&bih=839&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CDAQ7AlqFQoTCNvLqqPElcgCFQJHGgodN5AMBQ&dpr=0.95#imgrc=k2seesvtL05osM%3A I wouldn't recommend breaking up the walls by painting some dark blue, even in just the recesses. Using an overall pattern will give the space interest without making it too dark. You can introduce elements of copper through cushions, lamps, picture frames, etc. If you don't want to use wallpaper, consider stenciling your walls with navy over off-white and including some metallic copper in the stencil design.

What colour lampshade?

Yes I think so. Someone suggested a grey linen one not long ago that seemed like it would work well. It's a shame you can't get it any bigger.. It looks a little drowned in the corner there.

Hi Lucie, Those are gorgeous curtains! I think a warm, earthy toned lampshade would bring out the colours in the fabric. How about a light grey, or a mossy green? The Cirque from Louis Poulsen brings a lot of the accent colours together in one lampshade. Cirque Pendant Lightyears has a great range of lamps, like this Mingus pendant. It comes in several lovely earth tones. Mingus Pendant The Caravaggio Matt range is a classic design, also in several warm tones. I think the shades 'warm silk' or 'dark grey' would make a great pairing with the curtains. Caravaggio Matt Pendant For a really simple, minimalist design, the Suspence pendant is beautiful. It's available in white, grey, black, and copper. Suspence Pendant Have a look at those links to start you off, and if you need more inspiration, check out our Lighting board on Pinterest. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on, keep us updated with photos! Phoebe

Thank you so much, both your suggestions are super! Really love the Pooky lampshade! Other than the window cushion which is a Linwood pattern, the only other pattern is an antique oriental rug which is dark reds and very dark grey.
