Tiffany Lamp Shades

2008-10-23T12:06:00.001-07:00

Are the shades of your Tiffany Lamps made of plastic or real stained glass?

Answer: The shades of our Tiffany Lamps are made of real stained glass. They are NOT plastic. We get quite a bit of questions from customers asking why do the Tiffany lamp shades feel like plastic. With a good number of Tiffany lamp shades, when you tap on them using your knuckle or finger tip, it does not feel like glass. That is more evident when the shade is made of smaller glass panels / pieces. Apparently, when small panels of stained glass are soldered together, the vibration that it gives off when we tap on them feels more like plastic than glass; the vibration is dampened by soldering small panels of glasses together. To verify that the shade is indeed made of glass, you can use a fork to tap on the Tiffany shade lightly. You can feel the glass tone better. If you accidentally drop the shade, it WILL break.

Tiffany stained glass is thicker. When you tap on them, you are actually feeling the stain coating. They are rolled out from a big sheet of glass initially, stained into different color and then cut into little pieces before being soldered together. Unlike plastic, they have variation and rippling surface. Rest assured that the shades of our Tiffany Lamps are made of real stained glass.

Deciding Upon Lighting Fixtures

2008-09-17T15:16:00.001-07:00

Decorating your home and setting it up so that it becomes more of a home and less of a house is always a challenging thing. There are many important things for you to consider, and one of them is always going to be deciding upon the right lighting fixtures for each and every room. It doesn't do to simply go with the lights that are already in the room, especially if all you have to work with are round overhead lights. Each room looks the same in this type of lighting, and you want to figure out a way to have each room truly become the room that it is meant to be. Your lighting fixtures, although you might not know it yet, can play a huge role in determining the type of room you've got, and how successful it might be.

First of all, you want to think about the various types of light that are put out by other fixtures. A top light that is simply a bulb with an encasement often puts out harsh light that floods the entire room. A long florescent light is going to do the same thing, but the light will be more focused. Sconces provide a much softer light and can be used on walls to accent different areas of the room. Track lighting is often used in order to accent walls or pieces of art, or simply areas of the room. You might also want to consider installing any of these types of lighting fixtures, and then providing them with dimmer switches so that you can control the brightness of the lights at all times, no matter what type of light you might have.

Another thing to focus on is the accent lighting that you will always need. These are the lamps that you'll have around the room. For instance, is there an area where people might sit to enjoy a book or magazine? If so, this will be an area where you will need lamps. Tall corner lamps are also good ideas because they will accent the corner, make the room look bigger, and also make the room look more put together. You also might want small desk lamps that will provide you with concentrated light in one small area. Remember, too that lighting like that provided by sconces and other fixtures might do nothing but provide you with soothing and calming light, and even though this doesn't seem like much it will actually help to provide your entire room with personality.
