Lamp Shades for Teens

Maybe a disco lamp shade is their thing

Maybe a disco lamp shade is their thing

There are no special lamp shades for teens but I suppose there are shades that your teenager will like or put up with and ones that they won't.

Decorating teen bedrooms can be fun or it can be a challenge (not to mention the challenge it is after you get them finished to avoid the room getting further "decorated" with dirty laundry and the dishes from the snacks they take to their room etc, but I digress).

If you want your teenager to be happy with their room they need to like the decor otherwise you'll get no cooperation at all. So they basically need to choose their own stuff with a bit of a helping hand or a few guidelines.

Let them browse around online and at local lighting stores so that you get an idea of what they would like and then make a joint decision based on their likes and your budget.  Maybe they will choose something sensible when it comes to light but teens invariably choose something impractical - like girls will have fairy lights around their bed and guys some flashing neon monstrosity. Just make sure that you also buy a desk lamp along with their choice of lamp shades so they can get their homework done.

Jenna’s Drum Lamp Shades

My girlfriend Jenna loves to go to garage sales. She is constantly looking in the local newspaper for new advertisements for these wannabe swap meets.

This past weekend Jenna was out all day with her sister garage shopping. She came back right before dinner with a few surprises, three drum lamp shades. What on earth are we going to do with three drum lamp shades? She told me that the forth "garage sale score" would put me at ease. She went out to her car to fetch the fourth item that she had bought during her excursion.

She walks through the door with, you guessed it, a fourth drum lamp shade. I was ecstatic, the drum lamp shade was in the shape of Darth Vader's helmet. I had never seen anything like it before. She was right, I forgot all about the fact that she blew a bunch of cash on three drum lamp shades.
