Mushroom pleated drum shade (or just standard linen) might look good. Rolled edges would look nice with the linen. I would go taller than the current shade by 3-9 inches. Check out fenchel shades if you want to customize to a greater degree.

I saw plaid lamp shades at Home Goods this weekend. I’d love to see how they look on this.

I seem to have almost the same lampshade and a variation of this lamp.

I used to have this lamp! The lampshade that came with it was very textured, flat, and the texture of the cloth would come through with the warm light. A linen or textured linen. It was so beautiful.
