Choosing Lampshades
In choosing lampshades it is always important to appreciate their effect after dark. A. bright red pr green shade may provide an arresting accent of colour during the day. and may bring additional vigour to the room’s colour scheme, but at night its hue will be diffused throughout the entire apartment. Red will then convert greys into purple, neutralise green, turn white into pinkish grey and make black look rusty. Green may do even icorse, for it makes complexions look liverish, makes purple grey, turns white dirty and red dull. White, cream, warm ivory , % primrose and orange, are the best colours from which to choose your lampshades.
