Help me find a lamp shade (pics)

I bought this floor lamp ( no comments about it being chavvy !)

It came with a white shade which doesn't go with our colour scheme which is aubergine and grey/silver.

I bought a new shade off the internet but it looks silly.

Can anyone find a silver and/or aubergine shade for me ?

Thanks, I'll be getting me a new lamp!!

Have you tried ikea or dunelm for a shade? They're usually my first stops!

You guys are so cute Grin. If you don't immediately become best friends over your joint love of sparkly decor I will be extremely disappointed!

Can't help but I strongly approve of the mirror which I also own Grin

We're glittery twins !

My DD and I recently moved into a smaller house after having to have lodgers for 16 years to make ends meet . Our rule is that we can't buy anything beige or cream and everything has to be glittery !

My bedroom is all silver , my headboard has got diamante on it . DD's room is all gold . I've painted the hall with glittery paint. All photo frames are diamante or silver. I've even got a sparkly loo brush !

I need to get rid of DH to get all the sparkle I want!!
Only managed the lounge and our bedroom so far, without him I'd have it in every room!
I like the rules you have, I just sneak in glitter/diamanté accents and DH doesn't always notice so I get away with it most of the time 😂

Is it the shape of the shade that doesn't work? You need a drum shade.
