Leela Square Pleated Lampshade - Ivory 138/250mm x 206mm

The Leela is a square pleated fabric lampshade in ivory, measuring 138mm at the top rim, 250mm at the base and 206mm in height. The shade is constructed from pleated fabric stretched over a metal frame, with an internal fabric lining that diffuses light evenly and prevents the bulb from being visible through the material.

Designed to fit table lamps and floor lamps with standard E27 or B22 lampholders, the shade includes a reducer ring that adjusts the top aperture to fit both fitting types. The square profile suits traditional and transitional interiors where a classic shade shape is preferred over drum or empire profiles, and the 250mm base width pairs with lamp bases between 200-300mm in diameter for balanced proportions.

The pleated construction runs vertically from top to base, creating a ribbed texture that catches light and adds depth to the surface. The ivory colour provides a warm neutral tone that works across cream, beige, grey and white interior schemes without introducing a strong colour statement. The internal lining prevents glare and hotspots when paired with a 40-60W bulb or equivalent LED, making the shade suitable for reading lamps and bedside positions.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The shade includes a reducer ring that adapts the top aperture to fit both E27 (Edison screw) and B22 (bayonet cap) lampholders. It suits table lamps and floor lamps with a base diameter of 200-300mm for balanced proportions.

What bulb wattage can it handle?

The maximum recommended wattage is 60W. Most users pair this with a 40-60W equivalent LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) to avoid excessive heat buildup in the fabric shade.

Is the pleating hand-stitched or heat-pressed?

The pleating is heat-set into the fabric during manufacture and secured to the metal frame. The pleats are permanent and do not require ironing or maintenance to hold their shape.

Can the shade be cleaned?

Fabric lampshades attract dust over time. Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner on low power, or wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid water or cleaning sprays, which can stain the fabric or cause the pleats to collapse.
