What Is a Chandelier Shade?
A chandelier shade is a decorative cover that fits over individual chandelier arms to diffuse light and add visual interest without requiring fixture replacement. These mini shades transform existing fixtures by creating softer ambient lighting and coordinating with room color schemes.
