How do I install my shade?
Our pendant shades are designed to
work with two installation methods, so they suit most spaces and living situations.
•Ceiling-mounted shades connect directly to an existing hardwired ceiling rose. A canopy cover plate sits flush against the ceiling and neatly conceals the fitting. This gives the cleanest and most permanent result.
•Plug-in installation requires no electrician. The pendant cord
connects directly to a standard wall socket, making it a practical choice for renters or rooms where rewiring isn’t an option. The visible cord becomes part of the composition; run it intentionally along the wall using small cord clips for a considered finish.
If you’re unsure which approach suits your space, get in touch before ordering and we’ll talk it through with you.

How do I choose the right size shade for my space?
As every shade is made to order and we’re unable to accept returns for sizing, it’s worth taking time to measure before you buy.
•Above a dining table: a shade diameter of roughly half the table width is a reliable starting point. An oversized shade hung low creates a dramatic anchor and a genuinely intimate atmosphere. Over a long rectangular table, a cluster of three shades at varying heights works beautifully.
•Bedside pendants: shades in the 20 to 30cm range, hung at eye level when seated, are low enough to read by and unobtrusive enough to live with easily.
•Hallways and entries: choose larger than feels instinctive. A generous shade in a hallway transforms the space from an afterthought into something considered.
•Drop height: maintain at least 210cm of clearance from the floor in
any walkable space. Above a dining table, the base of the shade should sit approximately 75 to 80cm above the surface.
If you’re unsure, send us your room dimensions and we’ll recommend the right fit before you commit.

My shade arrived a little out of shape. Is that normal?
Perfectly normal. Handcrafted linen shades can shift during packing and transit, and will need a little time to settle once they arrive. Hang your shade and allow a couple of days for the linen to relax into its intended form naturally.
If your shade came with a metal stretcher, fit it inside before hanging. The frame holds the shape of the shade and should always be the first step.

How do I care for my shade?
Our linen and fabric shades are spot-clean only. Do not submerge in water or machine wash. For everyday dust, a soft dry cloth is all that’s needed. For marks, a barely damp cloth applied gently to the affected area is usually enough. Always allow the shade to dry
completely before turning the light back on.
Rattan and structured shades can be wiped with a dry or very lightly damp cloth. Prolonged moisture should be avoided on all woven and natural materials.
