    Drum shades suit modern table lamps and pendants, balancing clean lines with even light distribution. Empire and tapered shades suit classical bases, where the narrower top complements a turned or fluted column. Match the shade diameter to the lamp height for balanced proportions.

    Neutral shades such as cream, oatmeal and soft grey spread a warm ambient glow, suiting most rooms. Darker shades produce more dramatic, focused pools of light. Match the shade colour to existing textiles in the room for a coordinated look, or use a contrasting shade as an accent.

    Plain lampshades layer more easily into existing schemes, since they do not compete with other patterns in the room. They also let the lamp base do the visual work, which suits sculptural or collectable bases. Patterned shades suit rooms where the shade is the statement piece.

    As a rule, the shade diameter should be around two-thirds the height of the lamp base, with the shade height roughly equal to the base height. For pendants, scale the shade to the room: a 30cm drum suits a bedside pendant, while a 50cm drum anchors a larger living room.

      Melt Lighting
      To mark the start of the prestigious Salone Del Mobile design fair, Heal’s is launching Tom Dixon’s latest Capsule collection at the same time it goes on show in Milan. A collaboration between leading British designer Tom Dixon and Swedish design group FRONT, the Melt Pendants have a fluid form and dazzling copper finish. The molten form and finish of the Melt captures the beautiful optic glow and organic shapes produced during traditional glass blowing. This unique silhouette and its intricate swirling patterns are thanks to an advanced processed of vacuum moulding. Creating mesmerising displays of light, the metallised finish of this pendant has a smooth, shiny surface that elegantly reflects exterior lighting - a mirror finish when not in use that turns translucent once light is emitted from its interior or in full daylight. If you’d like to be one of the first in line to bring home this stunning range of furniture and lighting, why not make a trip that’s closer to home by popping into our Tottenham Court Road store today.
