A home décor in modern days is incomplete without
light fixtures. Stained glass lampshades find a unique place. Stained glass
lamp shades are available in a variety of color, design and material. Ceiling
fixtures-flushed or semi-flushed ones, wall scores, chandeliers, globes,
billiard lamps, pendant lamps are some of the varieties of stained glass lamp
shades available. Table lamps are also available wherein the bases are generally
made up of brass, bronze, wrought iron, or wood. To get best overall results
one must have one focal light fixture in a large or medium size room with these
kind of lampshades. The making of a stained glass lampshade involves
extraordinary craftsmanship. The craftsman must join the pieces which should be
extremely fine. This piece of craft is extremely unique because each piece is
different and makes it exclusive too. This procedure makes the lamp shade look
as authentic as possible.
Lamp shades are designed in various
patterns. It can have the design of a flower, fruit, leaves, birds or any
geometric patterns. Similarly, a range of colors can be used for getting
scintillating effect. Often, two or three colours are used at a time so that
when it is fitted it blends with other house décor. In order to create different
textures, clear glass, rippled, mottled glass, beveled glass are used. For
example, the wings of a butterfly need to be more luminous, so this requires
thin glass. The body of the butterfly requires thicker glass.
While selecting a stained glass lamp
shade one must insist on having the provision to connect it to a power point.
Flaw or cracks if any, can be detected only when light streams through it.
Another thing one has to keep in
mind while selecting a lamp shade is the purpose of the lamp. That is, for the
purpose of reading, we require shades with light or pastel color glass.
Similarly, the size of the lamp shade must be proportionate with the size of
the room. The lamp shade must not get lost in a large room. The purpose of the
lamp shade is to stand out in a room and beautify the room.
