20 cm empire-skjerm i akvablå rød Tuffley, rynket bomull fra GP & J Baker

The gathered cotton creates such a lovely, soft drape that catches the light beautifully. I put it on a small table lamp in my reading nook and the aqua red pattern adds just the right pop of color without being overwhelming.

The colors are even richer in person than on screen — that aqua really pops against the warm red when the lamp is on. The cotton fabric has a lovely, slightly textured feel that catches the light beautifully. It’s made my reading corner feel like a little piece of Victorian charm.

The pattern is so detailed and intricate up close, exactly the "seaweed" inspiration you'd hope for. It throws a warm, muted glow that softens the whole room. Really glad I chose the aqua red over a solid shade.
