FAQ's

What size lampshade do I need?

As a basic rule of thumb, your lampshade's width should be around the same measurement as the height of your lamp base, and the height of the shade should measure around two-thirds of the height of your lamp base. Read my guide to choosing the perfect size and style of lampshade for more detailed advice.

Can I order a fabric sample?

Yes, you can order up to four free samples; a small postage charge applies. To order, simply go to the product you are interested in and select the “order a free fabric sample” button within the product description.

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.
