25cm 엠파이어 쉐이드, 코랄 초크 스트라이프

The stripes have a lovely hand-drawn feel, not perfectly straight, which gives it so much character. The coral tone is exactly that soft, chalky pink I was hoping for, and it looks beautiful against a white ceiling.

Had to swap out the old shade and this one completely changed the room’s mood. That chalky stripe texture against the light makes the coral feel almost matte, which I wasn’t expecting but really love. The tape trim is a neat, solid finish that keeps it from looking too busy.

The coral is even softer in person than the photos suggest—more chalky pastel than bright, which works perfectly in my reading nook. The slightly wonky stripe pattern gives it a handcrafted feel, and the cotton shade casts a warm, cozy glow when the lamp’s on.
