*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Time to break out your inner product designer again folks, because this week you’re designing your very own lamp shade.
Lamps Plus is the nation’s largest specialty lighting retailer (you West Coasties may know them in person, while us East Coasters can peruse their wares online) and they’ve got a great new “Design It” tool on their site so you can design your own drum shade for a whole slew of lamps and fixture styles. And this week one of you can win a Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with a shade in the pattern, color and trim of your choice.
Here are just a few of the designs that we played around with (so many patterns, so few empty side tables):
If you’ve already created a design that you love and can’t bear to wait ’til Thursday’s winner announcement, Lamps Plus is giving YHL readers a special discount (click for more details). Oh and you can take a screenshot of your design and submit it on Lamps Plus’ Facebook page to remember- and share- your masterpiece with others. Who knew lamps could be so interactive? Now for this week’s entry deets:
- PRIZE: A Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with your very own custom shade thanks to the Lamps Plus’ Design It tool
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MY SHADE IS” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us your favorite color (we’re going back to basics this week). But since we’ve all grown up a bit past simple “green” or “red,” we’d love a bit more of a description (glowing amber? muted gray-blue? ruby red? celery green?).
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 26th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: ONE
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 nifty United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Tawny B says
MY SHADE IS…light french grey, the color I recently painted our bedroom.
Heather Jastrzemski says
My shade is some sort of turquoise or thyme color. And has a geometric pattern on it. Trying to give some modern love to my dining room, which, though full of fun items, feels a bit too old-lady-ish! This would help!
katie says
my shade is green. emerald, apple, sage or forest, i love me some green. =) congrats on the kiddo!
Casey says
My shade is lemon yellow. There is just something so happy and summery about it…and who couldn’t love a little summer all year round?!
Meredith K A says
MY SHADE IS deep teal right now – I can’t stop buying shirts that color, but I would probably pick something different for a lamp shade, since my living room doesn’t exactly include deep teal. I think if I won this one, I would fine something nature-inspired and unisex to coordinate with my planned nursery!
Katie says
My favorite is a dark turquoise silk shade I got from Pier 1 a few years ago. It is the only thing in my living room that is not green, red or brown and I love the splash of color it gives the room!

MY SHADE IS…Bohemian Turquoise with accents of Cherry Red. My living room has a modern theme of black, white, and that vibrant cherry red. I’d like to give my bedroom (currently a conglomerate of browns) a bohemian feel but still tie the living room and bedroom together with (vibrant cherry!) red accents. The lamp would be the perfect beginning to my DIY project. Thanks YHL!
