This Designer Loved This Amazon Lampshade So Much, She Bought 4

Sometimes an item is just so good that you simply must buy multiples of it. Whether it’s a set of wine glasses or the softest bath towels, every so often you find something that checks every box, and therefore you end the search for anything else in that category. Those special items are essential to pay attention to, because they’re a testament to how much a shopper — especially someone you trust — values them.

When I saw that Hollis Loudon Puig, the founder of Hollis Loudon Interiors, used the same lampshades in every single room of her maximalist New York City apartment, I realized that the find was too good to ignore. 

Because Hollis is an interior designer, it’s safe to assume that she has access to and knowledge of several lighting brands. (It feels like there’s something new on the market every day!) But the fact that she chose to use this pleated pink lampshade (available on Amazon) means it must be good. 

The empire-shaped lampshade is made by the brand Aspen Creative, and it comes in three colors: rose pink, black, and blue. It’s made of faux silk and is pleated, which gives it that timeless look. (If you’d like to try to mimic this look at home, here’s a simple DIY.) It has an almost five-star review on Amazon and costs around $75. While that is a higher price point for a lampshade, Hollis’s dedication to purchasing multiples proves that it’s a worthwhile investment. You can’t go wrong with this timeless style! 

Not only is the pleated lampshade a classic look, but it also provides continuity throughout the rooms in Hollis’ apartment. That simple touch of pink is the through line that ties all of the spaces together and gives them a cohesive flow. 

If the Amazon lampshade sells out or if you’re looking for a cheaper option, then consider this lampshade available at Wayfair. The Charlton Home lampshade looks eerily similar to the Amazon version, but is only $40 and also comes in three colors: red, black, and white. 

There are so many wonderful things about Hollis’ apartment (like the Wayfair dresser that gets the most compliments). But among all of the pretty things, the lampshade — a decor constant — really grabbed my attention. To see more of this beautiful home, visit the full House Tour.
