A patterned lampshade is the easiest way to make a statement in a room, and the one many people put off choosing. Two new stories on The Light Edit take it on. How to Choose a Patterned Lampshade uses three designers’ rooms to show how a lampshade earns its place among the other patterns in a room: it shares a color with them, differs from them in scale, and brings a kind of pattern they do not have. Fermoie Lampshades: A Designer’s Guide to Pattern covers the nine most popular Fermoie patterns we stock, what distinguishes each one, and the colorways available in Charlottesville now.
