25 cm empire-varjostin denim Tuffley -puuvillaa, GP & J Baker

The gathered cotton gives off such a soft, diffused light that the whole corner feels warmer in the evening. I wasn't sure a 25cm empire shape would be big enough, but it's just right on my bedside base. The seaweed motif is subtle enough that it reads as texture from across the room.

Swapped out a boring plain shade for this one and the difference is night and day — the seaweed pattern has this lovely vintage feel that softens the light beautifully. The 25cm empire shape sits perfectly on my bedside lamp and the gathered cotton looks way more expensive than it was.

I was worried a 25cm shade would look small on my base but the empire shape gives it real presence. The gathered cotton has a subtle woven texture that softens the light beautifully in the evening. Genuinely pleased with how it pulls the corner together.
