Ero Blue Velvet & Tassel Drum Pendant Lamp Shade

All of our lampshades come with conversion rings so they can fit B22 and E27 bulbs.

1. Measure the lamp - If you have a circular base then measure straight across. If you have a square base then measure diagonally. Multiple this number by two for the right shade width.

2. Measure the length - Your shade should be around a third of the total height of the lamp. This way it covers the bulb and the harp without looking disproportionate to the base.

There are also some safety precautions to take into account when choosing the size of your shade, so make sure you always read any safety labels or leaflets included with your lamp shade.

1. Turn the light switch off and allow your bulb to cool.

2. Assess how your shade is attached to the lamp.

3. If your shade is connected by the light bulb, unscrew the bulb, remove the lamp shade, replace with your new lamp shade and re-screw the bulb back into place.

4. If your shade is connected by a tip or finial screwed on top, unscrew the tip, lift the shade off to remove it, replace with your new shade, and re-screw the tip.

5. Turn the light switch on to see how it looks.

Many of our lamp shades are fitted with a reversible gimble, allowing you to use as a table lamp shade and ceiling lamp shade. Read our lighting guide on how to choose the best lamp shades for styling tips and tricks.
