- Hardback versus silk/softback: Hardback shades feature fabric or paper laminated onto a stiff liner, while silk/softback shades feature fabric layers stretched over a metal frame. Hardbacks offer modern style at a cost-effective price while silks are your go-to for classic elegance and longevity.
- Shape: Both hardback and silk shades come in a variety of shapes from round drums to classic cones, modern rectangles and more. The shape also helps direct the light around your room, so choose the style that matches your needs and aesthetics
- Style: Once you choose the basic shape, you can further refine your choice by width, slope, depth and more. For example, a cone shape can be standard, deep or deeply tapered, while silk hexagons offer different curves, scallops and more.
