The density of the fabric or weave decides whether the bedroom feels calm or too bright.

For \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abat-jours-pour-chambre-de-bebe\"\u003ea baby's room\u003c\/a\u003e, aim for a dense material: it is the fabric that diffuses, not the bulb's wattage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"mesures\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat measurements should you take to choose a bedside lampshade?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree measurements are enough: the height of the base, its diameter and the position of the socket.
