YELLOW lighting! Help me find correct lamp shade!

5 years ago

I have little shades over my sconces in my bathroom. Restoration Hardware sold them as 'bright white' but when I turn on my LED bulbs (they are 4000k) it turns my room YELLOW! Aggghhh... I take the shades off and it's fine...

Can anyone help me find shades that are white and project the light as true to color as possible?

You need to buy lined shades. Before you do, try spray painting the insides of the shades white Often it will work. Good example of why lined shades are so important…particularly black shades.

A sincere thank you for everyone's suggestions. The update is that I am settled on the Intense White (a light gray color) and am now trying to figure out the yellow. This is the latest one I tried is Creme Brulee, but the family agrees it is too pale or something: Still having trouble with my photos so it looks the yellow looks like a distant haze here, but hopefully it gives the idea. So the new ones we are thinking of trying are: Lemon Sorbet, Windham Cream and Weston Flax. They all seem more on the yellow side. Any thoughts on these? Might these go too yellow this time, rather than too orange like the Antique Yellow I first tried? I also still need to look at Linen White and Summer White. It looks like Lemon Sorbet might look nice with gray, which hasn't been an easy combo so far: Lemon Sorbet and Gray photo. I'll be glad to wrap up this yellow decision :).

https://www.houzz.com/products/stein-world-weston-resin-table-lamp-prvw-vr~57291109 A tiny bit less on HOUZZ and free ship. Check the height so you know it's tall enough if you go that route. Something about the glass one as I said makes it look less heavy more of an, "airy" feel for lack of a better word. Yet, they are both very nice.
