Black colour Lampshades – Why you should not hesitate buying them

Much like any other color, black is also a choice based on your requirement. When you want subtlety and do not want light to overpower your room, black becomes a good choice. When you want to introduce an element of deep contrast to the calm and cool colours you have in your furnishing, black lampshades are a great option.

The answer is yes and no depending on what material is used for the lamp shade. That said, black is a colour the naturally absorbs light and does not reflect or diffuse it as much as we may want it to. So, black lamp shades do block light to a large extent.

And hence, if you do not want to draw much attention to the lamp, if you do not want too much light in the room, if you love the subdued and muted ambiance that is just perfect for low light activities like quiet dinners or movie nights, black is certainly your color.

The added advantage with black is that it complements most other colors and so becomes a good fit for all types of wall colors and decor. If in one end of the spectrum offwhite is everyone’s favorite choice, in the other end it is black. Black also offers a stark contrast to the muted and subdued colours pre-dominantly used in home decoration, thereby creating a dramatic effect.

Like always, style is more a reflection of what your pesonal tastes are and your own personality. And if you love minimalism and soft lighting effect, black is not something for your to shy away from.

This is why when we come across a requirement, we never hesitate to recommend black. And we ask our customers never to hesitate going with black. End of the day, if gives your space a whole new dimension. And definitely en vogue.

Like in any other lamp shade, you can use a variety of materials for a black lamp shade. Most commonly used material is fabric, where it could be cotton, linen and a synthetic variant of these two. Semi raw silk is a good option too as a cost effective lampshade while pure RAW silk will be an expensive lampshade, but with a stunning effect that gives it a royal look.

Jute has also started becoming a popular option for black lampshades. Jute in general in its natural colour is already the most preferred material for lamp shades by our patrons and so black should not be a difficult one to choose.
