Fab Freebie: Your Perfect Shade

*** 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 Design It2

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):

Lamps Plus Our Designs

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!

    My shade is black, lined with something metallic that lets the glow peak out from the top and the bottom. I love how unexpected it is.

    My shade is fresh-lime green to use as a decorating accent color. My favorite color though is pink. I have two sons so I haven’t had a chance to use pink in my decorating. I’m expecting in July so I could possibly get the chance to use pink and lime-green in one room.

    MY SHADE IS…peacock blue. I love how this color can be serious or fun depending on its surroundings.

    My shade is blue bayou. It’s the most cheerful and bright, but not too bright blue I’ve ever seen. People tell us it makes them instantly happy. :)

    MY SHADE IS…the exact color blue as Carrie Bradshaw’s redecorated apartment in the 1st Sex and the City movie.
