Oval shades, sometimes referred to as elliptical lampshades, feature straight sides and oblong shape.
Straight-sided lamp shades are suitable for table, desk, and floor lamps and, depending on the fitting or gimbal, can also be used as ceiling pendant shades. Oval shades are excellent for narrow spaces such as; sideboards, console tables, hallways, and bedside tables. The slender profile fits flush against walls without protruding awkwardly into walkways.
