What
type
of
light
do
you
need?
Take
a
moment
to
consider
the
following
four
types
of
the
light
source
and
which
suits
your
needs
best: TASK
-task
lighting
spotlights
a
specific
area
as
a
pendant
fixture
would
“spotlight”
counterwork
surfaces
in
your
kitchen AMBIENT
-ambient
lighting
casts
a
welcoming,
warm
glow,
filling
a
room
with
personality
and
texture,
as
a
chandelier
does
for
an
elegant
dining
room READING
-reading
lighting
illuminates
a
cozy
nook
with
a
bright
glow
FLOOD
-floodlighting
fills
a
room
with
brilliance
illuminating
all
parts
of
a
room
at
once.
Architects
and
designers
often
use
this
kind
of
light
to
highlight
architectural
details.
2.
SIZE
&
SHAPE
MATTER
Using
the
correct
proportion
and
styling
of
a
lampshade
to
the
lamp
it
sits
on
can
make
or
break
a
room.
Finding
a
good
fit
and
a
complementary
shape
for
a
specific
room
is
like
finding
the
perfect
piece
of
jewelry
that
compliments
your
body
type
or
fashion
style.
If
you’re
replacing
a
lampshade,
the
three
most
important
measurements
are
Top
diameter
Inch,
Bottom
Diameter
Inch,
Side
Slant
Inch.
3.
LIGHT
HAS
COLOR
Light
has
color.
Wander
the
lightbulb
aisle
of
a
hardware
store,
and
you
are
sure
to
find
ample
selections.
Most
lightbulb
brands
display
the
different
colors
their
lightbulbs
emit
and
make
it
easy
to
see
the
difference.
Cool
colors
tend
to
be
brighter,
and
warm
colors
tend
to
be
softer.
The
same
goes
for
your
lampshade
fabric
choice!
Take
your
time
choosing
the
right
fabric
that
will
enhance
the
room
it
will
sit
in.
4.
DON"T
FORGET
YOUR
LAMP!
For
the
best
lampshade
fitting,
ALWAYS
bring
your
lamp
to
the
shop.
Guessing
lampshade
size
is
something
we’re
good
at,
but
we
prefer
fitting
directly
on
your
lamp.
This
way,
we
get
it
right
the
first
time!

Design
Collaboration
Recently
collaborating with
our daughter,
Eileen, Cranberry
Hill now offers
hand-formed, custom
lampshades in
designer fabrics and
specialty papers of
your choice.
Lampshades by Eileen
also include cut and
pierced styles.
Surround yourself
with the classic
beauty of
traditional cut and
pierced lampshade
designs, or choose
from our
contemporary design
gallery.
Cut
and Pierced
Cutting
and piercing
lampshades is a
centuries' old art
form originally
designed to protect
oil lamps from harsh
elements. Decorative
patterns were cut
and pierced into the
tin and formed into
primitive
lampshades. Once
indoor lighting
evolved from
utilitarian to
decorative,
paper-cut and
pierced lampshades
were considered more
elegant and best
suited for home
interiors, adding
their unique
personality to every
room. Designs ranged
from harvest fruits,
seasonal flowers,
country landscapes,
nautical seascapes,
and
seashells.
Cranberry
Hill Lighting offers
a wide variety of
cut and pierced
lampshades from
York, ME. In our
trademarked CHL
gallery, you'll find
fresh and original
lampshade designs.
In our antique
gallery, we offer an
extensive library of
traditional
patterns. Choose a
design from either
gallery that
expresses who you
are.
If
it's that
ultra-personal,
made-just-for-me
touch that you
crave, contact us to
create a custom-made
design that fits
your decor. We will
be happy to draw
something up for
your approval before
making your
lampshade.
We promise
to use only the most
luxuriously textured
watercolor paper and
the finest
watercolor paints.
Using watercolor
paint allows light
to pass through and
illuminate the
design with soft
brilliance. If you
appreciate a
minimalist vintage,
we won't paint the
shade. We'll let the
paper and
workmanship stand on
their own. Either
way, you'll end up
with a stunning
lampshade.
Fabric
and Specialty
Paper
Fabric
and specialty paper
lampshades cast a
welcoming, ambient
light and are
increasingly popular
in both homes and
businesses. Fabrics,
like silk or fine
linen, create a warm
and moody elegance,
while patterns and
stripes are sure to
fill any room with
personality and
life.
If
a bright and lively
change is what
you're looking for,
have some fun
wandering the aisles
of a luxurious
fabric store like
Calico Corners.
Search for the
perfect fabric that
expresses who you
are and have a
lampshade made from
it. Surround
yourself in the
comforting rays of
our lampshades from
York, ME.
If
you're having new
drapes made or an
old chair
upholstered, buy
some extra yardage
of the same fabric
and have a lampshade
made. A new fabric
lampshade will bring
an old lamp to life.
A new set of fabric
chandelier shades
will bring elegance
to your dining room,
romance to your
bedroom, and a
little bit of
country to your
kitchen.
The
same goes for paper lampshades. We
have made lampshades from wallpaper,
faux parchment, hand-dipped book
paper, marbleized paper, guiled
silver foil, and 14-karat gold
paper. The light cast by an oiled
kraft paper lampshade in the library
looks exactly like the leather on
that worn leather chair in the
corner.
Any
fabric or paper can be formed into a
lampshade. Of course, some are
better than others. Consider the
following when choosing fabric or
specialty paper.
