As a general rule, a shade that fits just right should cover the bulb holder underneath without hiding the lamp base. To accurately size up a shade, measure across the diameter at its widest point (this tends to be at the bottom of the shade). Next, measure the total height of your shade. Make a note of both measurements and keep them to hand.

Ensure that the shade covers the lampholder AND your chosen bulb. As a rule of thumb, choose a shade that is between 30-40% of the height of the base. Ensure that the base of the shade measures similarly, or smaller to the base of the floor lamp. Do however, ensure that there should be a minimum of 8 cm between the bulb and the lampshade.
Floor lamps or standard lamps normally require a much larger shade, 18", 20" or 22" in diameter are the usual standard sizes needed. It is also important to make sure the shade sits at the correct height on a floor lamp. As a rule of thumb, the bottom of the shade should just cover the lamp holder when looking at eye level.
