Torchere Glass Lamp Shade Replacement Types

!±8± Torchere Glass Lamp Shade Replacement Types

There is hardly any more confusion in the lighting industry than how to select a replacement glass shade for a torchiere lamp.

First let us define a torchiere lamp. A torchiere lamp is any table or floor lamp whose light is directed upward by means of a glass, metal, stone, plastic or other type of reflector. These lamps take many forms and are made of many materials but most commonly made as floor lamps.

The word "Torchiere" is derived from the French word "Torche" torch.

These popular lamps provide excellent area lighting because they bounce light off the ceiling and diffuse it throughout a large area of the room.

There are four (4) basic types of torchiere glass.

1) Dish type torchiere glass (most common) is a dish or bowl shape glass shade with a 1 5/8" wide center hole that simply slips down over the electrical socket and rests upon a metal or plastic holder. There is a threaded ring which screws down over the electrical socket to hold the glass in place. This type torchiere glass is usually frosted white, beige or plain white.

2) Reflector waffle pattern opal white torchiere glass is a cone shape glass shade available in two (2) common sizes: 2.75" fitter that is 10" wide and the other is a 2.25" fitter that is 8" wide. This torchiere glass usually has a waffle type pattern pressed into the surface of the glass although there are some with no pattern in the glass. These torchiere glass shades were very popular in the 1920's and 1930's and were found on many 6 way floor lamps that had 3 arm lights plus a center light. They are also available on some modern lamps as well as some floor lamps without arms. Many of these lamps are designed for a fabric lamp shade to rest upon the reflector glass. This arrangement not only provides excellent area lighting but also excellent reading light.

3) Long neck torchiere glass is a larger glass, usually around 13-16" wide with a long neck that fits down inside a 2.75 - 3"" wide holder. This glass shade has the appearance of a very wide funnel with neck. These are the most expensive type of torchiere glass shades.

4) Stiffel replacement torchiere glass is made specifically to fit lamps from this lamp maker.

If you need further help selecting the correct torchiere glass for your lamp, be sure to contact a professional full service lamp company with lots of experience with torchiere lamps.

Good luck on all your lighting projects.

Best Regards - Jim Hoyle

Tips for Using Mirrors in Your Home Decor - Benefits of Decorating With Mirrors

!±8± Tips for Using Mirrors in Your Home Decor - Benefits of Decorating With Mirrors

Decorating the home with mirrors is a great way to add light to any room. Mirrors can also make a room appear to be larger if they are placed in the locations. Mirrors can be used for decorations only or they can be used for a specific purpose. If mirrors with decorative frames are being used, it is important to match the frames with the current style of the room. This is not to say that they have to be the exact same color, just the same basic style so the frame and the rest of the decor in the room do not clash.

Placing a large mirror in a small room will make the room appear to be larger. With this in mind, placing mirrors on the ceiling can make the room appear taller. Mirrors can also be used practically to cover up holes or damages in the wall. This is a much less expensive way of hiding the flaw than paying to have the damage repaired. Since mirrors reflect light, placing a few of them in the entranceway of the home is a great way to greet visitors. People will be greeted in a bright, cheerful manner instead of a dark dreary one.

The most popular decorating tip for mirrors is to place the mirror behind an item that needs illuminations. Candles and lamps are good choices. Placing mirrors in dark areas, corners, or closets will also create illumination. Mirrors can also reflect off paintings for an interesting effect when placed properly. Adding a mirror over a fireplace can add more focus the fireplace while make the room seem larger and any items on the fireplace mantel will reflect off the mirror. Do not forget the bathroom. They are generally small and can use some sprucing up.

Mirrors are not necessarily just for the walls. Mirrors are great for placing under a lamp. This can add a little shine to any room. Mirrored trays work great and are easily moveable. Mirrored end tables and coffee tables are more permanent but can add real spark to an entire room. Long, scary hallways can be brightened up by using clusters of mirrors along the walls. They will make the hallway not seem so long and never-ending. Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes and can brighten up virtually any area of the home. Any empty space on the wall can be filled with a mirror or cluster of mirrors that with trial and error are sure to end up looking great.
