How do I change a 1970's chrome 5 globe table lamp?

redoing the living room with a new medium gray sofa and 2 dark leather gray side chairs. But the chrome and 5 globe table lamp need a shade or something. I can probably just add two clip-on-shades to the 2 globe floor lamp. I'm just painting the matting on a 1970's 3D picture to blend in to the room better-from age it has turned cream and will now be dark gray on white walls. The 1970's glass and chrome dining room table with 6 gray chairs is still a favorite and will remain after I shampoo the very light gray carpeting. I could just buy one new lamp for $150, (chrome with a chrome in the middle) but spent so much money on the flex-steel sofa my budget is empty. Any ideas for the old lamp? thanks for your help-so many talented people and clever ideas.

Chris: a photo of the 5 globe lamp would really be helpful. A thought: maybe stencil the globes? ...or use glass etching?
A picture would be very helpful.
Sorry, I can’t picture the lamp. Take a photo of it please and where it’s placed in the room.
Hi, you can paint the globes, or replace them, this link may help

How about put some gray swirls under the glass to give a new look
Then clean it up realy nice and shiny
sorry, but my camera does not work and I don't have a smart phone. I will try a large shade and cover the bulb area. thanks for trying to help me. Chris L
