Lampshades FAQ – KJ Designs

Thank you for your interest in my handmade lampshade collection! Below you'll find answers to the most common questions I receive about my lampshades, from sizing and materials to care and ordering. If there's anything else you'd like to know, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

What makes your lampshades different from high street options?

Each of my lampshades features original textile designs that I've created myself, inspired by colour, texture, and the natural world. They're handmade in small batches rather than mass-produced, so you're getting a truly individual piece with character and craftsmanship you won't find on the high street.

What sizes of lampshades do you offer?

My lampshade collection includes a range of sizes to suit different spaces and fittings. Please check the individual product listings for exact dimensions, as each design may be available in different size options.

Can your lampshades be used with both ceiling pendants and table lamps?

Most of my lampshades come with a dual-purpose fitting that works with both ceiling pendants and table or floor lamp bases. The product description for each shade will confirm which fitting type is included, so do check before ordering.

What materials are your lampshades made from?

My lampshades are made using high-quality fabric featuring my original digitally printed designs. The frames are sturdy and built to last, and each shade is carefully assembled by hand to ensure a beautiful finish.

Are the colours accurate to what I see on screen?

I do my best to photograph each lampshade accurately, but colours can vary slightly depending on your screen settings. Keep in mind that the shade will also look a little different when lit, as the light brings out warmth and depth in the fabric.

How do I clean and care for my lampshade?

I recommend gently dusting your lampshade with a soft, dry cloth or using a low-powered handheld vacuum on a brush setting. Avoid using water or cleaning products directly on the fabric, as this could affect the print and the shape of the shade.

What type of bulb should I use with your lampshades?

I recommend using LED bulbs, as they produce very little heat and are safe to use with fabric shades. Avoid high-wattage incandescent bulbs, which can generate too much heat and may damage the fabric over time.

Do you ship lampshades internationally?

Yes, I ship to customers both within the UK and internationally. Lampshades are carefully packaged to protect them during transit. Shipping costs and delivery times will vary depending on your location, and any customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

Can I order a lampshade in a custom size or design?

I'm always happy to discuss custom requests! If you have a particular size, shape, or design in mind, please get in touch with me directly and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs. Custom orders may take a little longer to produce.

What is your returns policy for lampshades?

Because each lampshade is handmade, I want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If there's an issue with your order, please contact me as soon as possible so we can find a solution. Full details of my returns and refund policy can be found on my website's policy page.
