WHAT SIZE SHADE DOES MY FLOOR LAMP NEED?
Floor lamps or standard lamps normally require a much larger shade, 18", 20" or 22" in diameter are the usual standard sizes needed.
It is also important to make sure the shade sits at the correct height on a floor lamp.
As a rule of thumb, the bottom of the shade should just cover the lamp holder when looking at eye level. If the shade needs to be raised, this can be done by using a shade carrier.
These are inexpensive and available in various heights.
Many of the floor lamps that are available through our online store are supplied complete with shades.
