FAQs
What size bulb holder does this shade fit?
This shade is designed to fit standard lamp holder fittings, typically an E27 screw base. Always check your lamp base specifications for compatibility.
What is the maximum wattage bulb I can use?
The maximum wattage depends on your lamp base's specifications, not the shade itself. Always refer to your lamp base's recommended maximum wattage to prevent overheating.
How do I clean the fabric shade?
Gently dust the shade regularly with a soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp, well-wrung-out cloth and allow it to air dry thoroughly.
Will this shade fit any lamp base?
It fits most standard table lamps and smaller floor lamps with a compatible bulb holder. The 25cm diameter and tapered shape are common, but always check dimensions.
What kind of light effect does this shade create?
The pleated design and fabric material diffuse light, creating a soft, warm, and inviting glow. The botanical print adds a subtle decorative element.
Is the botanical print on both sides of the shade?
Yes, the botanical print is integrated into the fabric and is visible from all sides of the shade.
Can this shade be used outdoors?
This lamp shade is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the fabric and print.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit lamp holder.
Verify that your lamp holder is a standard fitting. Some older or specialized lamps may have non-standard fittings. Ensure the retaining ring is compatible.
Light appears too dim or too bright.
Experiment with different bulb wattages and color temperatures (e.g., warm white vs. cool white). The shade is designed for diffused light, so bulb choice significantly impacts ambiance.
Fabric appears creased or damaged.
Handle with care during installation. Minor creases may settle over time. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
Dust accumulation on fabric.
Regular dusting with a soft cloth is recommended. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp, well-wrung-out cloth, and allow to air dry completely before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This lamp shade is designed to fit standard lamp holders. Simply unscrew the retaining ring from the lamp socket, place the shade over the bulb, and screw the retaining ring back on to secure it.
Compatibility: Ensure your lamp base has a standard bulb holder fitting. The shade's tapered design and 25cm diameter make it suitable for most table lamps and some smaller floor lamps. It is compatible with standard E27 screw bulbs, but check the maximum wattage recommended for your lamp base.
Care: To maintain its appearance, dust the shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is wrung out well. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and print. Do not expose to excessive moisture.
