Buy lampshades and add new accents
The importance of light for your wellbeing shouldn't be underestimated. A homely interior depends on how you design your lighting – on the intensity and direction of the light, its brightness and, not least, the design of your lights. Warm, soft tones are just right for bedrooms and cosy corners. In offices or the kitchen, bright lights and clean-lined designs create a suitable working atmosphere. Lampshades are the finishing touch to your interior. They don't just influence the light – depending on their design, they also express your personal taste.
Looking for an unusual lampshade for your favourite light? Here's everything you need to know:
- The Umage brand – with nature firmly in view
- Quick to install and securely fixed
- Taste and purpose determine your choice
- The right care for lampshades
- A lampshade design for every budget
1. The Umage brand – with nature firmly in view
Scandinavian design combined with sustainable production – that's the foundation of Umage. The Danish design team creates lampshades with a timeless aesthetic that are also intended to be simple and functional. Since 2008, the young team from the Danish capital has been using its lights and lampshades to express both the urban lifestyle of the big city and its connection to the rugged, varied nature of its Scandinavian home. Sustainable production is a core part of its work. That's why your Umage lampshade comes in a gift box that is more than just beautiful: the lights are folded flat and shipped in space-saving packaging to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The Silvia copper light also comes in an elegant box. The design of this lampshade is reminiscent of a pine cone, creating a link to Scandinavian nature. Thanks to various Umage accessories available in our shop, you can use the honeycomb-shaped shade as a floor lamp, table lamp or pendant light. In the bedroom, the feather-covered Eos lampshades by Umage add a touch of romance. Real bird feathers – not plucked from live birds, of course – express a connection with nature and give the room a playful lightness. The feathers soften the light to a gentle glow, creating a cosy atmosphere that's made for the bedroom.
2. Quick to install and securely fixed
Hung as a pendant light above the dining table, the Norm 06 lampshade by Normann Copenhagen makes a statement with its typically Nordic design. It's particularly easy to assemble without any tools, so you can install this work of art by designer Simon Karkov yourself without any prior experience. Bear practical considerations in mind, such as the length. The lampshade is available in small, medium or large to suit your interior and the size of your room. You'll also find the right fittings in our shop: you can combine the Cone Shade lampshade by Ferm Living with the Socket pendant, for example. Before installing your new lampshade, always switch off the power. To be on the safe side, use a voltage tester to check that there's really no current in the lighting cable. Then you can easily attach your lampshade to the ceiling.
3. Taste and purpose determine your choice
The many ways to combine lampshades and lights leave plenty of room for personal creativity. When choosing a light for the kitchen, living room or bathroom, think first about how much space you have and where you want to place the light. A metal lampshade is a good choice for the kitchen, as it's easy to clean. The Dome lampshade by Ferm Living is made of powder-coated metal and spreads light beautifully evenly thanks to its classic round shape. Use it as a pendant light above the kitchen table, combined with the Socket pendant from the Collect Lighting collection. We offer the lampshade in grey, dark blue, pink or classic brass. Add splashes of colour to your home with your own combination of large and small lampshades – varied interior ideas from the far north come together to create your own personal atmosphere.
4. The right care for large and small lampshades
Once you've decided on the right combination and want to buy your lampshades, there's still the question of how to clean them. A little care helps you enjoy your designer lampshade – whether on a floor lamp, table lamp or pendant light – for as long as possible. The Umage Acorn light, made of metal, glass and silicone, can simply be cleaned with a duster or, if it's dirtier, with a damp cloth. The best way to care for the natural feathers of the Umage Eos light is to remove dust carefully with a hairdryer. That's all it takes to make this unusual white lampshade look fresh again.
5. A lampshade design for every budget
At Connox, you'll find good value for money – with lampshades in small and large sizes, in individual designs and at various price points. Small lampshades such as the white Miniature Bell lampshade by Nook London light up your table in the entry-level price range – with timeless industrial design included. The bright colours of the Stella Silk lampshades by Koziol make them lively living room lights; they're also available in an XL version in the mid-price range. The large, hand-applied feather lamp Eos is in the higher price range and creates a particularly cosy atmosphere. From a designer floor lamp with a grey or white lampshade to atmospheric bedroom lighting and rustic, efficient pendant lights for your workspace, you'll find the right light for every budget and taste.
