Product Information
Full details
This fabric drum lampshade from B&Q is designed for homeowners seeking to add a fresh, elegant, and nature-inspired touch to their living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. Its key benefit is its ability to create a warm, welcoming glow with a soft botanical print in gentle pastel tones, complementing both classic and contemporary interiors. A potential caveat is that the light, airy design might be best suited for ambient lighting rather than task lighting for very specific activities.

FAQs
What type of bulb is recommended?
It is recommended to use LED bulbs with a warm white tone (around 2700K) for the best ambient effect. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the lamp base's maximum recommended wattage.
Can this lampshade be used with a dimmer switch?
Yes, if the lamp base and the bulb used are compatible with a dimmer switch. The shade itself does not affect dimmer functionality.
What is the material of the lampshade?
The lampshade is made of fabric, featuring a botanical print on a soft background.
How do I determine if this shade will fit my lamp?
The shade has a 40cm diameter and is designed for standard lamp holders (E27 or B22). Measure your current lampshade or lamp base to ensure a proportional fit.
Is the print on both sides of the shade?
Yes, the botanical print is applied to the fabric covering the entire cylinder of the lampshade.
Can I wash this lampshade?
It is not recommended to wash the lampshade. Gentle dusting with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth is the preferred cleaning method.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely.
Ensure the retaining ring is correctly screwed onto the lamp holder. Check that the shade's inner ring is properly seated on the holder.
Uneven lighting when bulb is on.
Verify the bulb is centered within the shade and that the shade itself is sitting straight on the lamp base.
Fabric appears creased.
Gently steam the fabric from a distance or hang in a steamy bathroom for a short period. Avoid direct ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This lampshade is designed to fit onto standard lamp fittings. Simply unscrew the retaining ring from your lamp holder, place the shade onto the bulb/holder, and then screw the retaining ring back on to secure the shade.
Compatibility:
Ensure the lamp base you intend to use has a standard E27 (ES) or B22 (BC) fitting, depending on the lamp holder type. The shade's diameter of 40cm is best suited for medium to large lamp bases.
Care:
To clean, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not wet. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and print.
