This is a quick and easy way to dress up a bare lightbulb...

The Bulbcap is a lampshade, slightly more than a lightbulb. The caps are directly pulled over the lightbulbs of up to 40 watts. Any wattage can work when using economical lightbulbs. The Bulbcaps can be fixed on hanging bulbs from the ceiling, or on standing lamps of any kind. Mix and match various colors to create a collage of lights!

This is such a lovely light...

The lamp, designed by Ani+Lumigrane, was debuted at IDS08 and was an instant success. Co-created by Frederic Guibrunet, a paper-maker with a decade of practice, and Parisian Didier Boursin, an expert in origami. Their talents combined into a paper explosion of maple leaves that looks gorgeous on and off.

If you've got the money, this would be an excellent choice for a light above a dining table.

"The Flos Skygarden S1 Suspension designed by Marcel Wanders utilizes a halogen lamp inside and at the top of the dome. The lamp is enclosed by a glass cylinder that screws on and off for relamping. An intricate, lattice-work pattern appears at the bottom of the glass cylinder, adding an unexpected and pleasing detail to the interior of the Skygarden."

Finish: Black, Gold, Rust, or White.

Diffuser: Diameter 23.62 In., Length 12 In.

I don't know about you, but the price of this versatile guy was slightly surprising to me- hurray for lighting under $50(!).

"The plastic sections of the 5 in 1 shade slide together for easy assembly. Use 3, 4, 5, 6, or all 7 of the pieces to create 1 large or 2 smaller shades. Flat-pack shipping makes it a perfect gift."

Materials: Shade: White polypropylene, Cord & canopy: White canopy with 1 1/2" socket and 4 foot cord.

Dimensions range from 12" to 24" in height and diameter.

If you can get past the price tag, this light is actually pretty spectacular.

'Sustainable and stylish, these light fixtures of cascading flowers are designed from recycled bottle-bases that have been cleaned, sanded and tagged together by hand. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Choose 8", 10", 12" or 14". All measure 5 3/4" in width. Items featured 8" Cascade.'

(note: I think that the options for length is meant to read in feet, not inches, fyi.)

Quite similar in feel to the Twitchen Lampshade, this lampshade captures one of nature's best saturated hues.

"Shades are constructed by laminating fabric onto a pvc parchment, then they use a hand rolling method to finish the edges. The shade is 10" in diameter, top and bottom, and 8" tall. These are lamp shades only, for table lamps or hanging ficture lamps. There is a universal metal ring that fits between the fixture and the lightbulb. 60 Watt max. The shade in photo has a removable protective plastic sleeve, so its clearer than shown."
