When I started making lamp shades 15+ years ago, I had no idea I was starting with one of the trickiest lamp shade materials: silk. You could say making silk lamp shades was my trial by fire, and after working with this material, creating shades with other fabrics seemed easy.
The outcome of creating a silk lamp shade is definitely worth the extra care involved in working with this delicate fabric. Extra sharp tools, just the right drying time for each glue step, and washing my hands 5+ times during the process ensure that I end up with the quality of handcrafted shade that I've become known for.
I always look for good visual texture in the fabrics I pick for my shades, and silk is one of the best. After all these years, my silk shades are still some of my favorites. With a moody glow and a great nubby texture, I love the drama they can bring to a room when lit.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.
While LEDs emit less heat than the old incandescent bulbs, heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can still have an affect on how quickly a shade yellows with time. A larger shade can handle a higher wattage (or lumen output) bulb, and a smaller shade can handle a lower wattage bulb
Lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. A 60W incandescent light bulb that uses 60 watts of power gives off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. A 60W equivalent LED light bulb also gives off a minimum of 800 lumens. This lumen output can still affect a lampshade over time, even if we don't see any immediate damage being done and it never gets warm. I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent on a 9 in. diameter shade.
