Size Guide
If you are unsure which size lampshade or base to choose, we're here to help, just follow the steps below.
Choosing your Lampshade
Decide where your lamp will live — bedside, living room, hallway, or wall sconce — and consider the space available.
Lampshade sizes:
All sizes refer to the base width of the lampshade.
- Mini lampshades (18–25cm)
Ideal for wall sconces, chandeliers, and petite lamp bases. - Table lamp lampshades (25–45cm)
Perfect for bedside tables and sideboards. - Floor lamp lampshades (40–45cm)
Designed for floor-standing lamps. - Ceiling lampshades (50cm)
Suitable for ceiling pendants.
For easy pairing, check the “Recommended with” and “Goes well with” sections on each product page.
Lampshade fitting:
Our lampshades come with a gimbal fitting, making them compatible with most UK & European lamp bases. They sit on both E27 and B22 bulb fittings.
Ceiling lampshades come with a pendant fitting and are compatible with UK & EU fittings.
Included:
A plastic ES reducer ring is supplied inside the gimbal.
- Keep the ring in for B22 fittings
- Remove it for E27 fittings (simply squeeze and push down)
Choosing your Lamp Base
Choose a base that complements your lampshade. We offer a variety of colours and sizes, with recommendations listed under each lampshade product description.
Lamp base sizes:
Our lamp bases range from 38cm (small) to 45cm (tall). As a general guide, the base height should be similar to the lampshade base width — but there are no strict rules.
For example, our small bobbin bases work beautifully with both 30cm shades for a lighter look or 40cm shades for a fuller, more dramatic feel.
Fitting:
All lamp bases come with a B22 bulb fitting. We recommend a 40W warm light bulb for a soft, cosy glow.
