Measuring a Lamp Shade

If you do not have an existing shade or simply want something different in style and/or size, please remember that buying a lamp shade without a lamp is like buying a hat without your head! We encourage you to bring your lamp to our store and one of our experienced consultants will help you select the right size, fit and color.

If you have an existing shade and want a similar one, simply measure it and choose a shade with a similar measurement. Lamp shade measurements are taken by width (diameter) at the top and bottom of the shade and a height measurement is taken along the slant or side. The width across the bottom is referred to as the lamp shade size.
