Introducing our Summer's Breeze Lampshade, crafted with high-quality cotton fabric designed by independent artist Helen Bowler. This refreshing lampshade features large, delicate blossoms in soft cream tones, with muted blush centers beautifully complemented by flowing green leaves. The lace-like detailing woven throughout the pattern adds depth and character, evoking the serenity of a warm summer afternoon.

Each Summer's Breeze Lampshade is handmade to order in the UK, making every piece a unique work of art. With a commitment to sustainability, each lampshade is printed with eco-friendly inks and reflects the artistry of independent designers who draws inspiration from the beauty of nature.

This lampshade is perfect for both contemporary and classic interiors, adding a refined botanical elegance that fills your space with natural charm.

Drum: A classic, versatile shape that fits beautifully into any room.
Empire: A traditional shape that narrows towards the top, adding an elegant vintage feel.
Scalloped Drum: A charming twist on the classic drum shape, with a gently scalloped edge for added character.

Select Your Size - When selecting the right size for your lampshade, consider the following guidelines:

Table Lamps: We like to use 25cm lampshades with 35-45cm high candlestick table lamps.

They say, the height of the shade should be about three-quarters of the height of the lamp base, and the width of the shade should be roughly equal to the height of the lamp from the base to the fitting. If you are unsure between two sizes, it's usually better to choose the larger one for a balanced look.

Pendant Lampshades: Consider the ceiling height and the size of the room. Larger rooms or those with high ceilings may benefit from larger shades (30cm or 35cm) for a more dramatic and proportional impact. Smaller rooms or lower ceilings will be better suited to smaller shades (15cm - 25cm). A well-sized pendant shade helps distribute light effectively and adds to the visual appeal of the room.
Floor Lamps: Typically, a larger lampshade with a base diameter of around 35cm or more works best for floor lamps, ensuring the shade balances the height and provides adequate lighting.

The size shown is the diameter of the bottom ring.

Pendant Fitting: Designed to hang from the ceiling.
Table/Floor Lamp Fitting: Perfect for your existing lamp base, adding a beautiful focal point to any room.

Cotton Lampshades: Cotton makes a fantastic choice for lampshades. It is durable, easy to clean, and extremely versatile. Depending on the shape and colour, a cotton lampshade can add a soft, natural glow to your space, making it suitable for a range of styles—from rustic to modern.

Wipe clean with a dry cloth to keep your lampshade looking its best.
