FAQs


Can I use a half shade on a table lamp?


Our half shades are primarily designed to fit wall lights where a flush fitting shade is desired, however they can also be used for table lamps and are good solution for a narrow shelf, mantlepiece or console table where space is limited.

How much light will my shade let through?


Generally the lighter the colour and weave of the fabric, the more light the shade will allow through. The darker and heavier the fabric, the more the light is channelled through the top and bottom of the shade. For useful information about fabrics and their use as shades, please see our Lighting FAQs

Can I use any of your fabrics?



Yes, we can make any of our half shades in any of our fabrics as a bespoke item. Please contact our helpful customer service team to raise a quote.

Can I use my own fabric?



Yes, we can generally make any of our shades in your own fabric, we just ask that you send in a swatch first so that we can be sure it is suitable. For more information, see our Knowledge Base Guide on Bespoke Lampshades.
