I am crazy about the use of the elegant and sophisticated black lamp shade in design! It creates a sharp contrast, and it pops against a neutral background or bold, vibrant colors. Additionally, it can produce an edgy juxtaposition as a modern element in an otherwise traditional space. The following collection of photos illustrates the dynamic use of this fun design element in any room: the entry, dining, living, bedroom, or office. Enjoy!
