Lampshades often look a bit yellowed after a winter of being shut in. Before you pay the proverbial 'arm and a leg' for a new shade, consider trying to improve what you have! With a form paint brush, brush a coat or two of flat white paint unto a plain, yellow shade. Wipe it off with a damp cloth and if the lamp it goes to is on a rod, put it on and twirl it as you paint. You can handpaint trim around top and bottom rim, using paint or even felt markers. You can even draw on various shapes!
I have a couple of toss pillows on the couch which I slipcover with warm reds for winter and lighter colors in Spring. It gives the room a different look for just a few dollars and the covers take up little room when stored.
