Mulberry Paper Lamp Shade in Natural

$ 87.00

Discount for two or more shades automatically applied in shopping cart.

Euro fitter version of this shade coming soon.

I have always been fascinated by paper lamp shades. The glow when a paper lamp shade is lit is so warm and inviting! I've been making lamp shades for over ten years, and I only recently felt confident enough in my skills to attempt to make a paper lamp shade with a wrapped edge.

Most paper lamp shades use a taped edge or are made of strips of paper. I wanted to challenge myself to make a modern version of a paper lamp shade with a tightly wrapped, clean edge, just like my fabric lamp shades. It takes a lot of patience and precision, but I am happy with how these shades have turned out, and I hope that they bring a little warmth and joy to your room.

 

DIMENSIONS
Most popular sizes are listed. Due to the size of the paper sheets used to create these shades, I'm not currently able to make lamp shades with this paper that are wider than 10 inches in diameter.

PRO TIP FOR LIGHT BULBS
For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.

LEDs emit less heat than incandescent bulbs, but heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can affect how quickly a shade yellows with time.

'Wattage' is the measurement of energy used, and 'lumens' are the measurement of light output. The light bulb's lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. For example, a 60W incandescent light bulb and a 60W equivalent LED light bulb use different wattage but both give off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. Lumen output can affect a lampshade over time, and the higher the light bulb wattage/lumen output, the larger shade you should use.

The smaller the shade, the nearer it is to the light bulb, so I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent on a 9 in. diameter shade.
