In the 1920s, most electric lights were adorned with silk shades, and there was an extraordinary array of exotic shades to choose from for standard and table lamps and wall light brackets. A parchment of silk or a single alabaster bowl was generally used for the main suspended light in dining or living rooms. Opal glass bowls were popular because they softened lighting and were shadowless. Leadlight shades were still popular, and glass bowls in amber, pink or blue were gaining favor. Cove lighting was sometimes used to add artistic effect to draperies or special features of a room, and translucent glass wall urns or wall brackets in crystal or metal were installed to improve and soften the lighting of large rooms.

A single lamp or a pair of table lamps on a sideboard or small table, as well as standard lamps, were invaluable in supplementing lighting, because often the reflected light from the ceiling bowl was not strong enough to sew or read by. By 1934, built-in panel lighting had begun to gain ground as the latest style in direct and indirect lighting. In a 'model bedroom', for example, this consisted of combination of a large, central rectangular panel with wall brackets holding small, luminous panels positioned above mirrors or in the soffit above the bed. These indirect lights were sometimes supplemented by standard or table lamps in the simple shades that marked the decorating style of the 1930s.
