Looking for a lampshade for the living room, a pendant light for the kitchen, or a table lamp with a natural design? The right choice of lighting fixture will not only affect the amount of light – but also the feeling and character of every space in the home.
In the following guide, you will find inspiration, practical tips, and important information to help you choose the right lighting – whether you are looking for a soft fabric lampshade, a boho-style straw lampshade, or a lighting fixture made from natural material.
How to choose a lampshade or light fixture for your home?
1. Purpose and Use
A wall lampshade or pendant light is suitable for central lighting. A table lamp or floor lamp will be used for accent lighting. It is important to match the type of lighting fixture to the needs of the space – lighting for the living room, lighting for the dining area, kitchen, or bedroom.
2. Natural Material = Warmth and Character
A straw lampshade, a bamboo lampshade, or a wooden lighting fixture provides a warm and natural feel that suits a rustic, Nordic, or boho design style. A light-colored fabric lampshade also blends well in a modern and minimalist environment.
3. Height and Placement
Installing a pendant light above a kitchen island or dining table? Maintain a distance of about 70 cm above the surface. Floor lamps are excellent next to a sofa or armchair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a lampshade come with a bulb or wiring?
Most lampshades are sold without wiring unless stated otherwise in the product description. Wiring can be purchased independently or with the help of a certified electrician for installation and adaptation.
How do I maintain a fabric or straw lampshade?
A fabric lampshade can be gently vacuumed or wiped with a dry cloth. A straw lampshade should only be cleaned with a damp cloth, without cleaning agents.
