A good rule of thumb is that the lampshade should be roughly two-thirds the height of the lamp base. For the width, ensure the shade is at least an inch wider than the widest part of the base on all sides to maintain visual balance.

Yes, the gathered construction creates subtle folds and texture, which naturally diffuses the light more than a flat shade. This results in a softer, warmer glow that is ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms.

Yes, the Tigre lampshades are designed with a standard spider fitter, making them compatible with most traditional lamp harps and finials. If your lamp uses a different fitter type, you may need a simple adapter.

Because of the intricate gathered design, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush attachment on your vacuum or a gentle lint roller to remove dust. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the fabric's texture and finish.

We recommend using LED bulbs with these shades. They produce significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps preserve the fabric and ensures the longevity of the handcrafted construction.
