45cm straight empire shade in denim Tuffley gathered cotton by GP & J Baker

Swapped out a plain linen shade for this 45cm one and the difference in the room is honestly surprising. The gathered cotton gives off a soft, almost vintage glow, and the mid-century seaweed motif fits my old cottage way better than I expected. Empire shape sits nicely on a slim brass base too.

The gathered cotton has this subtle texture that catches the light way better than plain linen ever did. I put it in the hallway and the seaweed pattern reads almost like watercolor when the lamp's on. 45cm is a good size for a shade that isn't trying to dominate the room.

I swapped the old plain shade on my bedside lamp for this one and the difference is honestly striking. The mid-century seaweed motif has this subtle organic pattern that only really shows up when the light's on, and the 45cm size works perfectly without overwhelming the table.
