Time to break out your inner product designer again folks, because this week you’re designing your very own lamp shade.
Lamps Plus is the nation’s largest specialty lighting retailer (you West Coasties may know them in person, while us East Coasters can peruse their wares online) and they’ve got a great new “Design It” tool on their site so you can design your own drum shade for a whole slew of lamps and fixture styles. And this week one of you can win a Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with a shade in the pattern, color and trim of your choice.
Here are just a few of the designs that we played around with (so many patterns, so few empty side tables):
If you’ve already created a design that you love and can’t bear to wait ’til Thursday’s winner announcement, Lamps Plus is giving YHL readers a special discount (click for more details). Oh and you can take a screenshot of your design and submit it on Lamps Plus’ Facebook page to remember- and share- your masterpiece with others. Who knew lamps could be so interactive? Now for this week’s entry deets:
- PRIZE: A Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with your very own custom shade thanks to the Lamps Plus’ Design It tool
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MY SHADE IS” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us your favorite color (we’re going back to basics this week). But since we’ve all grown up a bit past simple “green” or “red,” we’d love a bit more of a description (glowing amber? muted gray-blue? ruby red? celery green?).
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 26th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: ONE
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 nifty United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Ingrida says
My shade is … We have used colors filtering light(light green gray) and ash for our dining room walls with a chair rail. It was a perfect color choice, and it transformed a traditional room into current and modern space. It’s been almost over a year since we painted and I don’t see myself getting tired of it anytime soon.

“MY SHADE IS…any genre of gray!” From a light and airy cloud gray to taupe-y gray to steely granite gray…I love gray. Or grey – however you prefer to spell it. It can be moody, sophisticated and modern.

My shade is tangerine . . . . I painted my bathroom a tangerine color. The cabinets are white and the shower curtain has big pink, red and orange flowers on it. I have red towels. It is my favorite room in the entire house. I love it!
Kerry says
MY SHADE IS… green, for sure! I love green, almost any shade, especially if its found in nature. And just lately, gray is becoming a fav also.
Jacque H. says
MY SHADE IS . . . a neutral muted green. i found the perfect color of paint – Behr Cliff Rock. It looks green in my hallway but not in the can. Somehow it is exactly what I was looking for – 5 paint colors later ;)

Stacy Perham says
My shade is…..Hot Pink & Periwinkle.

My shade is……brown and blue!
Alden says
MY SHADE IS.. pearl white with a chocolate trim. Goes with everything! Fits well with contemporary and modern decor and doesn’t shadow any focal points in a room ( unless you wanted a lamp shade to be the only thing your guest sees!) I would love the fabric to have a sheen to it, which is one of my guilty pleasures! If I had to choose more distinct colors, I would lean towards (a combination of) purple, orange, and some deep neutral. I am completely obsessed with purple, orange, and animal print right now:) (Being an interior design student= new favorites every week)
Maureen says
My shade is…apple green.
Robin says
My shade is rusty orange … flowers, pillows, dresses, you name it!

My shade is…sunflower yellow! I’m from Kansas, and I love seeing splashes of bright yellow mixed in with greens, blues,oranges, and browns! or even black and white :)
Kirstin says
MY SHADE IS….
Any and all shades of pink!
jeremy says
MY SHADE IS…
green. yes, i said green, not avacado, or pear, or any other special version of green. i like my 8 box of crayons very much : )
But I do like many shades of green, and I can’t really picture using the crayon green color for a lamp shade… so I’d probably choose something a bit weaker.
Or maybe I’d choose blue since the next room we redo will be done in blue.
Sarah D. says
My shade is….sage green with some leaves or vines or something to give it a natural look!
Kate Morgner says
MY SHADE IS buttercup yellow. I am trying to re-do a room in yellow and gray in our new house and I would love to get a jump start with a pretty shade.
Shelly says
MY SHADE IS periwinkle!
