FAQ's

What size lampshade do I need?

As a rule of thumb, your lampshade's diameter should be at least as wide as the widest part of the lamp base, and the height should be around two-thirds of the base height. Read my guide to choosing the perfect size and style of lampshade for more detailed advice.

Will your lampshades fit my style of lamp base?

My lampshades (and shade carriers for Duplex fittings) are fitted with a removable reducer, which means they fit both UK (B22) & the larger EU (E27) lamp fittings. If you have a US-style harp fitting, I can also help. Please contact me for advice.

What is a Duplex Fitting?

Most vintage-style lamps have a Duplex fitting, which is a two-way fitting that allows you to use either a standard lamp shade carrier or a shade ring. If you're unsure, please contact me for advice.

What liner should I choose for my Drum Lampshade?

In addition to the standard white liners, I now offer a choice of alternatives to complement your lampshade design. These include a warm cream and metallic liners in brushed gold, brushed copper, and embossed champagne. Alternatively, if you want fabric on both sides, I offer double-sided options. Each creates a very different effect when lit. Read my guide to choosing the perfect lampshade lining for more information.
