What lamp shade shape should I buy ?

Drum, conical, and tapered lampshades are quite the popular shapes and it is important that you choose the right shape the best fits your table lamp or floor lamp base. We typically recommend large drum lampshades for floor lamps / tripod lamps which conical and tapered will be a good choice for table lamps. There is no hard and fast rule and the shape should be dictated by your personal tastes too.
