Know before you buy
The gathered fabric acts as a soft diffuser, filtering the light to create a warm, ambient glow rather than harsh, direct illumination. This makes it an excellent choice for living rooms or bedrooms where you want to cultivate a cozy atmosphere.
A good rule of thumb is that the lampshade should be roughly two-thirds the height of your lamp base. Additionally, ensure the bottom diameter of the shade is at least an inch wider than the widest part of your base on all sides to maintain proper visual balance.
The Sun God colorway is a vibrant, warm tone that acts as a sophisticated focal point. It pairs beautifully with neutral palettes to add a pop of color, or with eclectic, maximalist interiors that embrace rich, saturated hues.
Yes, the classic Empire silhouette is designed to be compatible with most standard lamp harps and finial attachments. However, because the top diameter varies by size, ensure your current harp height is adjustable to accommodate the specific height of the shade you choose.
To maintain the texture, use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to gently dust the fabric in the direction of the gathers. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the fabric finish and alter the shape of the pleats.
