I had a little bit of déjà vu when I saw the
chandelier shades posted about
on Friday. Luckily, Susan from Shandell's got in touch with me and cleared it all up...in her note she included
a link to a page from a past issue of Lonny that shows the gorgeous marbleized orange shades in action. Eddie Ross used them on a vintage chandelier and I LOVE the effect!

I couldn't find many other examples of rooms with colored shades, however, the next few rooms do show how impactful non-white shades can be.

I may have to try some snazzy shades on one of the chandeliers in our house. I'd also love to put some to use on a pair of sconces. Seems like a fantastic way to add some personality and color to a room without having to commit to paint or fabric. If we're lucky, Shandell's will make some
Malachite shades...I'd be all over those!
What do you think of the idea?
A lot of the Tory Burch boutiques use colorful chandelier shades. So chic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay! Just added an image of a TB store :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I actually hadn't thought about shades in a while but this post has inspired me again...thank-you!

Yes, they are pretty. the tory burch shades are so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI just saw a black and white shade at Anthro and fell in love. They only had 1 though and I need 4 so I've since been on the search for colored shades for my dining room chandelier. The impact is amazing!
