Q: How to Measure a Shade
All our lampshades are measured in inches and are listed in the same format:
Top . Bottom . Height
(slant height not vertical height)
To measure your existing shade or to design a new one simply follow the same format.
T = Top diameter
B = Bottom diameter
H = Height (slantheight, not verticle height)
Example: 14.16.12 C1 White
The top diameter is 14", the bottom diameter is 16", the slant height is 12" and the fabric is our own C1 White Linen.
For Square, Rectangle and Oval shades, both length and depth measurements will need to be provided instead of diameters.
Q: Is my shade the right size for my base?
Our lampshades are available in 70+ standard shapes and sizes or in your specific, made to order size.
How do we choose the right size shade? Put simply, the taller the lamp, the larger the shade.
The diameter of the lampshade is the most important dimension in choosing your ideal size. The bottom of the shade should be wider than the widest part of the lamp base, but not more than the lamp base height.
We recommend the following size guide:
Lamp Type Shade Diameter
Bedside Lamp 6" - 14"
Table Lamp 12" - 16"
Floor Lamp 16" - 22"
