Choosing a Lamp. How to get started.
Choose from our ten lamp base shapes below– Bota, Venus, Square, Petite, Narrow, Teardrop, Oval, Round, Rectangular, Elegant. Keep in mind the purpose of your lamp and the space that you have available and check it against our dimension drawings below.
Choose the glaze colour. Lampshades are often replaced within 20 years, but your Ceramic Lamp Base will last a life time, or more. (Though, it may need to be rewired in 50 years). So choose a colour that you love, not necessarily a colour that matches your current bedroom scheme.
Choose the lampshade size. We have photographed our lamp bases with proportionate lampshades, but if you require a special size we have there are more available.
Choose the lampshade fabric. Browse the fabrics in the photos below, or on our lampshade page.

One of our earliest designs, the Oval Lamp is truly a favorite. The pleasing curves have universal appeal and the wide proportions and low center of gravity make them one of our most stable lamps. Ovals have a weight and substance that commands attention in any room. Their width makes them fill a space and so they are more suited to moderate to large furniture especially if you want to accessories around them. As bedside lamps they easily balance a king or queen bed in a large bedroom.
