About

Thank you for visiting Lamp Shades Central. My name is Jan and I have a passion for making a house a home and interior design.

It’s not just interior design in an arty kind of way with me because sometimes I think that can result in a house that looks like a place where you have to sit on the edge of the sofa and not lie on it curled up with a good book.

For me it means a house has to be functional and comfortable as well as look good.

Of course, someone has to make sure that we change with the times and push forward the frontiers of home design to create unique interiors. You’ll see these works of art in the high-end interiors magazines. I admire these designers and take inspiration from them.

But in the main, I just want to help you achieve a great looking comfortable home even if you don’t have a magazine type budget (or money for an interior designer).

And why lamp shades?

Well, I think lighting is a neglected part of interior design – very few people plan the lighting of their room first. They are busy choosing wallpaper and carpets and furniture and then they will add a lamp here, a pendant light there and sometimes they get it wrong.

I don’t think I’m going to change how you design your whole room with my blog but I hope I can help in the selection of lamp shades and lighting when you do get around to thinking about it.

Love

jan
