This one is my favourite. It's perfect in a library, or next to your comfiest reading chair. The shade is linen, and prices start at £28 depending on which size you go for.

You can get your own message printed on this one. Such a great idea as a gift for someone, with a lovely song lyric or phrase on it. It's secret too as you won't see it until it's all lit up. This one starts at £25.

I really like this scientific lampshade. But if you buy it, please put it on a base nicer than the one in the picture. It starts at £23.
These lampshades all came from the 'manly' section of the Old Lamp Shed's website (science is manly, OK?). I much prefer them to the floral and tradition options, but they have those too. They'll also make you a lampshade from your own fabric.
I want the book one for me and the science one for my husband(who is a super-scientist). we could have matching but not matching bedside lamps. it would be lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the map one, and I much prefer the "manly" ones. Tsk!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely somewhere to shop when we move - thank you!
