Maison Maison Design Silk Lampshades

A good rule of thumb is that the lampshade should be roughly two-thirds the height of your lamp base. For the width, ensure the bottom diameter of the shade is wider than the widest part of your lamp base to maintain visual balance.

Silk is a delicate natural fiber. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle feather duster to remove dust regularly. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or harsh chemicals, as these can stain or damage the fabric.

To preserve the silk fabric, we strongly recommend using LED bulbs. They emit significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps prevent the silk from drying out, yellowing, or becoming brittle over time.

Like all natural textiles, silk is susceptible to fading when exposed to UV light. To maintain the integrity and color of your lampshade, place your lamp away from direct, harsh sunlight or windows that receive intense afternoon exposure.

Absolutely. While the box pleat design is rooted in traditional aesthetics, its clean, structured lines work beautifully in transitional and modern spaces. It adds a layer of texture and softness that can ground a more minimalist room.
