Shades on chandeliers aren’t outdated at all. They allow you to add personality, color, and visual interest to both the chandelier and your space. Besides, mini chandelier shades come in a myriad of designs and styles, so you can always switch it up in case you ever get bored of a shade. You can go for a neutrally-colored lampshade to complement your home decor and swap it out for a bright, patterned one to create an eye-catching focal point when it’s time to refresh your home.
