One of my all time favorite decorating items would have the humble old rice paper shade. They have been around for as long as I can remember, I find them really festive and fun and they can instantly transform a room .... they come in a multitude of colours and sizes and the best part is they are really quite inexpensive.
This amazing cluster would have to be my all time favorite use of paper shades ..... it looks like a wonderful art installation .... so divine !!!!!
I really like the look of this garland of shades, so great in this space.
I've shown this room before here, but it suits this post so well, the shade just brings the whole room together.
These shades give just the right impact to this otherwise very minimalist room .....
.... and I really like this extra large version.
They look great outdoors .....
.... and as decoration, my friend used these ones for her daughters birthday party, I think they look so festive (clever girl) !!!
I showed this clay version in this post .... I love when an artist takes something so simple and makes it into something special, such a beautiful work of art ....
..... and lastly I had to add this one, not exactly a paper shade (more of a variation on the theme) but pretty amazing non the less.

Love these paper shades! Just goes to show that good design doesn't have to cost the earth!
I love paper shades. This cafe in Perth has taken "clustering" them to the next level:
