A Lifetime Investment
An affordable way to up style an old or new lamp base is to introduce a beautiful gathered or pleated lampshade. Adding a statement light fixture is always worth the investment, as it creates a focal piece in a space. You will never wear out a lampshade, so it is something that you will have for a lifetime and be able to pass down for generations to come.
The use of lamps provide a warmth to a space that may otherwise be cold and uncomfortable. Using gathered or pleated lampshades in a space, will soften the light, creating an ambient calming space. The textures of a gathered lampshade really are striking to the eye.
The fabrics used have been sourced from all around the world, so there is a good chance you will not walk into a home and see the same lampshade.
We hope your Pip & Haze lampshade brings some uniqueness into your home, while supporting artisans who have hand made our fabric and gathered lampshades for us.
Why a gathered or pleated lampshade?

Make the most of the colour and pattern
A beautiful shade can make a room pop with colour and pattern. A gathered or pleated shade is not only eye catching, but adds character to a space. It is a quick and easy way to add texture and layers to a room.

Out with the old in with the new
Have a beautiful or even an old relic of a lamp base sitting around with a dated shade? Give it a new lease of life by pairing it with a vibrant gathered or pleated shade.

Matchy Matchy
Have fun with your lampshades. They can be different shapes, textures and colours, they don’t need to match.
