You might not buy lampshades often and that’s for a good reason. Lampshades are expensive items, though they’ll last a long time. The more decorative they are, the more the price goes up. Consider getting a plain shade and dressing it up yourself. Add embellishments such as ribbon, tassels or sequins with glue.

If you simply want to change the color, paint will do the trick. Check out this tutorial from At Home With The Barkers to see how you can use spray paint to dress up your lampshade.
