Before purchasing a lamp shade, it’s important to check a seller’s listing details to confirm the measurements match your lamp and the amount of space you have to work with.
- Diameter: Typically, the diameter of a lamp shade is measured at the widest point.
- Height: The height of the lamp shade is also measured to the highest point so you know how tall your shade will be.
- Thickness: If applicable, a seller may also provide the thickness of the material they used to craft the lamp shade. This measurement can give you an idea of the overall look of the shade.
