Contemporary Lampshades for Every Room
Contemporary lampshades are all about clean proportions, considered colour and simple shapes. A straight-sided Drum can create a crisp, modern look, while a Tall Drum adds height and presence. For something softer, French Drum and Cone shapes introduce a gentle taper while still keeping the overall design simple.
These versatile styles work across living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, hallways and home offices, making it easy to coordinate your lighting throughout the home.
Which Lampshade Shapes Look Most Contemporary?
Drum and Tall Drum shades are popular choices for modern interiors because of their clean, simple silhouettes. French Drum and Cone styles are also a great option when you want a softer tapered shape without losing the contemporary feel.
