16cm 엠파이어 쉐이드, 아쿠아 스트라이프 패턴

The cotton feels properly printed, not like a cheap transfer, and the chalky texture makes the stripes look almost painted on. I hung it in the hallway and the sky blue is exactly the soothing firmness I wanted, not wishy-washy at all. Tape's a solid match too, so it all comes together nicely.

The chalky texture of the cotton shade is even softer in person, and the sky blue stripe feels calming without being too bold. It's a nice size for a bedside lamp, adding just the right amount of character to the room.

The stripes really do have that soft, wonky look in person, which gives it a handmade feel I wasn't expecting. The sky blue is soothing without being too pale, though I wish the tape trim was just a tad more defined. Still, it brightens up my reading nook perfectly.
