Any lampshade can be remade or replaced, whether it is a hardback or a silk, simple or ornate. But when should you repair a lampshade?
When an exact match isn’t critical, buying often makes more sense, from a cost perspective, than repairing. But when you want to match another lampshade(s) or the shade has sentimental value, repairing a lampshade will make more sense.
