As an experiment I have painted lamp shades in emulsion to see how it looks and if it actually works? My first attempt was un-successful as it was a plain shade so when the lamp was switched on I realised you could see the brush marks - damn!! I then tried painting a stitched shade (from IKEA) and this has worked perfectly with no hint that it has been painted at all. I have had it switched on for hours with no adverse effects – eureka!
I now have lamp shades that perfectly match the colour of our walls, kitchen cupboards, etc (blimey, eeeeek - how OCD am I?) so a worthwhile experiment after all.
