How big should my shade be?

For useful information about sizing shades for a lamp base see our Knowledge Base guide:
How to Size Shades for a Table Lamp

The width of your shade should be equal to the height of your base.

The height of your shade should be two thirds the height of your base (divide the base height by 3).

Your shade should be wider than the widest part of your base

What size do I need for a floor lamp?

For useful information on sizing shades for floor lamps, see our Knowledge Base guide:
How to Size Shades for a Floor Lamp.

Measure the height of your floor lamp from the floor to the underneath of the bulb holder.

Divide this by 4 to get the right height of your shade.

The width of the shade should be wider than the base.

How much light is let through?

Generally, the lighter the colour and weave of the fabric, the more light the shade will allow through.

The darker and heavier the fabric, the more the light is channelled through the top and bottom of the shade.

For useful information about fabrics andtheir use as shades, see our Knowledge Base guide: Lampshades FAQs

Can I use any of your fabrics?

Yes, we can make square shades in the majority of our fabrics as a bespoke item.

Please contact our helpful customer service team to raise a quote.

Can I use my own fabric?

Yes, we can generally make any of our shades in your own fabric, we just ask that you send in a swatch first so that we can be sure it is suitable.

Fabrics with horizontal stripes do not work well on shades with sloped sides. Vertical stripes are generally ok, while fabrics with large patterns do not work well on small shades.
