CAN YOU HELP FIND THE PERFECT SIZE LAMPSHADE?:

We offer over 15 different sized lampshades so it’s not surprising it can be tricky to know exactly what size you might need.
However, finding the right sized lampshade doesn’t have to be a daunting task, we’ve created a helpful guide on lampshade sizing over on The Blog – How To Find The Perfect Shade.
Plus, we are always on hand to advise on sizing so please don’t hesitate to contact our lovely customer service team. Email us: hello@lovefrankie.com

DO YOU OFFER FREE FABRIC SAMPLES?

Absolutely! Colours, textures and tones can look different on different computer and mobile screens, so we always encourage requesting free fabric and wallpaper samples first. You can order HERE

Our lampshades are made using industry standard lampshade ring sets, suitable for use on all UK and EU standard lamps and flex and fitting sets.
We provide a reducing ring in the central ring fitting allowing you to convert the lampshade from an 39mm / ES27 fitting (EU) to a 29mm / Smaller Bayonet Fitting (UK).
Our lampshades will not fit on a lamp with an American style harp or a lamp which requires a lampshade carrier.  These can be ordered on request so please do not hesitate to get in touch with your requirements.

The bulb holder component in the centre of the lampshade sits 4cm up from the bottom of a lampshade for a lamp, or 4cm down from the top of a ceiling pendant lampshade.
If you have an arc floor lamp you will need to order your lampshade for a ceiling pendant so the fittings are at the top.

As our lampshade ring sets are the same for both ceiling pendants shades and table or floor lampshades, we only need to know the direction of your lampshade if it has a directional pattern on it or has fringing.

If the fabric / wallpaper used on the lampshade is plain, like our plain cottons, silks and linens we do not need to know whether it is for a lamp or ceiling pendant as it can be used either way round. Any lampshade with a directional pattern, we will need to know the fitting type to make sure we the pattern is facing the right way.

Our Table lamp fittings attach at the bottom of the shade and our ceiling pendant fittings attach at the top of the shade. Don’t forget, if you have an arc floor lamp, your fitting will be at the top of the shade meaning you should order your lampshade as a ceiling pendant.

The type of bulb required for use with our lampshades will be dependent on the max wattage of the lamp or the flex set you intend on using. Please consult the manufactures guide to find your fitting and max wattage.

The most common type of bulb is the European ES27 Bulb. A large screw in bulb with a fitting diameter of 27mm.
Alternatively, a Small BC Bayonet Cap B22 bulb is a UK standard bulb with a fitting diameter of 22mm.

Love Frankie always recommend using an LED light bulb and have a great selection found here.

Sadly not often. If the wallpaper has a directional pattern we have to pattern match each wallpaper width together to form a continuous length for the lampshade. If we use the wallpaper on the outside of the shade, as the wallpaper is stretched round the lampshade rings we find little gaps start appearing down the seams where the paper has been pattern matched together. These gaps begin to let light through and can look a little unsightly!

We use a variety of different wallpapers and fabrics from different designers across the globe. Each design comes with its own pattern repeat and therefore will have different scales and proportions. As we offer over 10 different size lampshades the circumference of each shade is different meaning we would never be able to get this seam at the back to pattern match perfectly.

Absolutely!
We love creating something truly individual so please get in touch with our customer service team who would be happy to talk through your requirements.
All bespoke orders are of course non-returnable and we always recommend sending through samples of your own fabric or wallpaper so our workshop can make sure the material is suitable for use with our binding tapes and ring sets.
PLEASE NOTE: At peak times, sadly all bespoke orders are put on hold.

Our Silhouette shades are creating using wallpaper on the inside of the lampshade and cotton on the outside of the shade.
When the light is illuminated, the print of the wallpaper will subtly appear through the sides of the lampshade.

It works better with our lighter coloured fabrics such as pinks, yellows and whites. Plus if there’s a strong distinction and contrast in the colours of the wallpaper on the inside, the print will subtly will show through when the light is turned on.
