drum roll please…

by laura on August 2, 2010

I am such a fan of drum shades as they certainly compliment an updated room. Their ranges in size and color  help to add a little extra oomph to a space. Don’t you just love how Jonathan Adler gets this one so right?

Laura, I love the giant kitchen drum !! Also, the drum shades on those lamps are great looking and really update that cool, paneled room. I was just walking by a very traditional house yesterday and pointed out the drum shade hanging in the interior to my daughter – fun touch to a classic entry hall.

How timely Laura, I’m just designing a drum shade for one client and trying to talk another into them. Thank you for the lovely collection of images. How big is that shade in the last image? Wow!

These are great! My only qualm is with the wood paneled room. The drum shades seem to detract from its natural feel.

I agree about the wood paneled room. Total love on the 1st, 3rd and 7th though!
