Pendant Shades FAQs

Can you put a shade over a ceiling light?

Yes. A shade turns a bare ceiling fitting into a focal point and helps tie a room’s décor together. Natural hanging lights and handwoven pendant light shades work particularly well for framing a room from above.

Why do ceiling lights have covers?

Light shades soften and direct the light from the bulb around the room. They also help to reduce glare.

Can you use a ceiling lampshade for a table lamp?

Usually not. Most hanging pendant light shades are designed to hang downwards from a ceiling fitting and won’t sit securely on a lamp base. If you’re looking for a shade for a table or floor lamp, our fabric and linen lampshades are made to fit standard lamp bases.

How do I choose a ceiling lampshade?

A few things to consider when choosing a ceiling lampshade:

Scale and proportion: Taller ceilings can carry larger shades, while in rooms with lower ceilings a large shade can feel overpowering. Think about the size of the room so the shade feels like a considered addition.

Ambience: Different materials cast very different light. Our wire lampshades create a textured pattern of light and shadow, while our jute ceiling lampshades give a warm, softly diffused glow over a dining table. Think about the atmosphere you want in the room.

How do I avoid direct light from lampshades?

Choose a deeper shade so the bulb stays hidden from eye level. Dense weaves or lined fabrics, such as tightly woven rattan or linen, also help to filter direct light.
