30 cm empire-varjostin, aqua-punainen, Tuffley-poimutettu puuvilla, GP & J Baker

The gathered cotton has this lovely subtle texture up close that you just don't get from plain shades, and the aqua red shade throws a surprisingly warm, soft light for a 30cm empire shape. It's the first thing guests comment on in my hallway.

I bought this for a small reading nook and the gathered cotton has this lovely woven texture that catches light softly. The seaweed motif is subtle up close but reads beautifully from across the room, and the 30cm empire shape fits my slim base perfectly.

I swapped out a plain linen shade for this 30cm empire in the aqua red seaweed print, and the gathered cotton throws the light in this soft, dappled way across the wall. The mid-19th century seaweed motif is unusual enough that guests keep asking about it. Fits my small reading lamp perfectly.
