Lamps & Shades Ltd

A great place for lampshades. Staff are helpful and courteous, what more can you ask for? If replacing a shade on a lamp, bring the lamp in – the staff will help you replace the shade to ensure the height is proper, etc.

We feel lucky to find this place. Though it looks small from outside, there are plenty of choices inside, from shades, finials to hardwares, and there are also some beautiful lamps including vintage. What’s more important to us is the employee’s expertise, made the picking process so much easier and efficient.

After weathering decades of abuse and frustration from me, the pedestal lamp on my piano expired. It was limp, it wouldn’t light, it was spent, it could do no more. Curses!
Now what? Lamps & Shades is what. This is a little known spot, in an unobtrusive place, where the huddled masses go after their shades are burned and dusty, their filials are bent, and their specialty light bulbs cannot be found anywhere on the planet.
Yes, it will cost you but you will find what you are searching for and if they do not have it, they know how to get it. The sales staff is personable and very hands on. I found my replacement lamp for the piano; we became immediate friends.
If you stop in, prepare to be amazed at the assortment of lamp shades that actually have character to them. They have lamps of all sizes; from pretty to distinguished. And because of their ultra specialization to the God of lamp fixtures, they get the ultimate rating from me, even though my checkbook would give them four.
A great spot to know about!

Lamps and Shades is a wonderful store. The staff has the best customer service ever. They are knowledgeable, well-​trained, will ask all the right questions, will work within your budget and impeccable taste. This is the place where many North Shore, downtown Chicago interior designers and architects travel to Glen Ellyn to shop for client’s homes. There are so many exquisite colors, shapes and styles for the traditional and modern home.
