Leela Square Pleated Lampshade - Ivory, 15/30cm x 22.5cm

The Leela is a square pleated lampshade in ivory fabric with a 15cm top diameter, 30cm base diameter and 22.5cm height. The shade has a tapered square profile with vertical box pleats running from top to base, creating a ridged surface that catches light along each pleat edge. The ivory cotton fabric is lined internally to prevent bulb glare and ensure even light diffusion through the material.

Designed for table lamps and floor lamps with standard E27 or B22 fittings, the Leela accepts bulbs up to 100W maximum. The shade includes a reducer ring that adapts the fitting collar to different lamp base sizes, making it compatible with most UK table lamp holders. The 30cm base width suits medium-sized lamp bases without overwhelming a bedside table or console surface.

The box-pleated construction holds the square shape without internal wires, relying on the fabric's own tension and the rigid top and base rings. The ivory tone softens to a warm cream when backlit by a warm-white bulb, while remaining neutral ivory under daylight. The 440g weight is light enough for most lamp bases to support without toppling, though heavier bases are recommended for stability with taller lamp stands.

The Leela's square silhouette pairs with both traditional turned-wood bases and geometric modern metal stands. The pleated surface adds texture without pattern or print, making it suitable for bedrooms, living rooms and hallways where a neutral shade is needed to complement rather than compete with other furnishings.

What lamp bases is this shade compatible with?

The Leela fits standard UK table lamp holders with E27 or B22 fittings. The included reducer ring adapts the fitting collar to different holder sizes, providing compatibility with most table and floor lamp bases.

What bulb wattage can it take?

The shade is rated to 100W maximum. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for bedside or living room table lamps, as LED bulbs generate far less heat than the equivalent incandescent wattage.

Is the fabric washable?

The ivory cotton fabric should not be machine washed or soaked. Dust regularly with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, or wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth. For marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water, avoiding saturation.

Does the square shape suit round lamp bases?

Yes. Square shades pair comfortably with both round and square lamp bases. The contrast between a round ceramic base and the Leela's square profile can create visual interest, while pairing with a square or rectangular base reinforces geometric consistency.
