Lamp Shade Size Guide

Find the ideal shade size for your lamp.

When selecting a lampshade, proportion plays a key role in achieving a balanced and refined look. The shade should complement both the height and width of the lamp base while fitting comfortably within the scale of the room.

As a general guideline, shade height is typically around 60–70% of the base height, while the bottom size is often 1.5 to 2 times wider than the base.

It’s also important to consider the fitter placement. Learn more about lampshade fitter types and how to choose the right fitter for your lamp.

This calculator provides general size recommendations based on standard proportions. Final sizing may vary depending on lamp style, harp height, and personal preference.
