Lamp shades are an often neglected decorative element in most
rooms, but colored shades can make a bold statement. It's best
to limit the colors to one per room, however, and select other
lamp shades in neutral tones, such as parchment and white. The
type of fabric the shade is made from influences the price.
Some ideas: Nine-inch linen shade in powder blue, $28; 16-inch silk-laminate shade in celadon, $165; Nine-inch paper shade in sea foam, $28; 12-inch linen shade in powder blue, $34: 12-inch paper shade in sea foam, $36.;
12-inch douppioni silk shade in royal blue, $115. All lamp
shades from the Oriental Lamp Shade Company, 212-832-8190.
