Lampshades can be custom fabricated or ready-made, fabric, paper or mica. The style of a lamp can be changed from traditional to contemporary by changing to a different shade style. And finally, scaling the shade to the base is extremely important, and some general rules apply. On a standing or floor lamp, a slightly bigger shade is appropriate, one that just covers the very top of the lamp base. When choosing a shade for a table lamp, the shade should stop an inch or less above the body, so that the neck of the lamp is just visible. Lampshades have three measurements - the diameter of the top opening, the length of the slanted side between the top and bottom, and the diameter of the bottom. The measurements are usually given in that order, for example, a 9" x 12" x 17" lampshade is a fairly standard size.<img src="http://leftbrainsforrightbrains.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" mce_src="http://leftbrainsforrightbrains.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" class="mceWPmore mceItemNoResize" title="More..." /> <p>Shades styles are limited by imagination, but there are several styles that are generally familiar to most.</p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Ax05a5aNI/AAAAAAAAAuA/5IJ9AitksvQ/s1600-h/empire.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Ax05a5aNI/AAAAAAAAAuA/5IJ9AitksvQ/s320/empire.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435899535072782546" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">Empire - A round shade with a straight sloped side, the most popular shade style.</p><p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Axss8QMhI/AAAAAAAAAt4/aNuzt1QgMGI/s1600-h/bell.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Axss8QMhI/AAAAAAAAAt4/aNuzt1QgMGI/s320/bell.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435899394284073490" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">Bell - A distinctive flared shape, like a bell, narrower at the top than at the bottom, a very traditional choice.</p><p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Axj3bIwFI/AAAAAAAAAtw/lHovy_UH3h4/s1600-h/drum.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NfyxUtORTy4/S3Axj3bIwFI/AAAAAAAAAtw/lHovy_UH3h4/s320/drum.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435899242479140946" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">Drum - A round or oval shape with straight sides, the top and bottom diameter are generally the same, or very close in size.

Michal Silver, director of <a href="http://www.christopherfarrcloth.com/index.php">Cloth</a>, flew in from London to introduce the new fabrics at the Thomas Lavin showroom, creating a buzz for designers and showroom personnel alike. The fabrics were designed exclusively for Cloth by famed textile wizard Lisa Miller, currently head of her own design firm and known for being a strong creative force in the industry.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kxCxBLk8NGw/SxkvsIW0Z2I/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dHLJCpJxYuY/s1600-h/Unknown-2.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 191px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kxCxBLk8NGw/SxkvsIW0Z2I/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dHLJCpJxYuY/s320/Unknown-2.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411408862466303842" border="0" /></a>The collection will begin with three of Miller's creations: Constellation, Quadrant and Pods (shown here from top t0 bottom). All of the designs are meticulously hand-drawn and feature the one-of-a-kind quality treasured by textile enthusiasts. The designs are single-color motifs with a strong graphic quality and are available in linen, silk or an outdoor fabric. "Compared to other Cloth designs, Miller’s motifs are small and with a distinctive repeat," says Cloth designer Christopher Farr. “Lisa's strengths as a designer come from a subtle and deep absorption in the primal graphic expression found in the unspoilt native cultures of the world, combined with an experiential knowledge of fashion and contemporary art.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try

In addition to the uniqueness in the designs, it is also interesting to note that these pieces were named after people that have been working for EF+LM for a long time. Rumley is committed to creating pieces that are about the people that work for the company.
