FAQ

• How do I choose the right size lampshade for my lamp base?

A good rule of thumb is that the shade height should be about two-thirds the height of the lamp base, and the width (diameter) should be roughly the same as the height of the base, or a little wider. This keeps everything in proportion and visually balanced.

Tip: Always ensure the shade is wider than the widest part of your lamp base for a well-balanced look.

Typical sizes:

Table lamps: 20 - 40 cm shades

Floor lamps: 40 - 50 cm shades

Shape guide:

Drum shades - suit tall, slim bases and give a modern look.

Tapered (empire) shades - flatter shorter, rounded bases for a classic style.

• Can I order a custom or bespoke lampshade?

Yes — absolutely! I love working with customers and designers to create something truly unique. Whether you’re after a specific size, fabric, lining, or double-sided design, I can make a lampshade that’s perfectly tailored to your needs.

• Do lamps/lamp bases come with your lampshades?

No, listings are for the lampshade only. Lamp bases are not included.

• How should lampshades be cleaned?

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water or sprays to preserve the fabric.
