houseof. Medium Plain Cone Shade - Blue

A Considered Pop of Colour

This medium cone shade brings a soft, considered pop of colour to an existing pendant, table lamp or floor lamp. Cast in a gentle dusty blue with a tonal navy trim, it turns the plain uplighter shade into something worth looking at, and its reversible fitting means it works just as well pointed up for ambient wall wash as it does pointed down for a warmer, more focused glow. Picture it hung above a bedside table in a calm blue bedroom, or fitted to an existing floor lamp in a reading nook where you want the light itself to feel like part of the decor.

The finish

The shade is made from cotton canvas over a steel frame, giving it a crisp, structured cone shape that holds up well over time. The blue is soft and slightly dusty rather than bright or primary, with a tonal navy trim stitched around the rim for definition. It sits comfortably alongside warm woods, brass fittings and other muted, earthy tones, and pairs naturally with the rest of houseof.'s cone shade family if you are mixing colours across a room or a run of pendants.

How it works

The cone shade fits onto an existing ceiling rose or lamp fitting using a reversible gimbal, so there is no need to hard wire anything in. Flip the gimbal and the same shade switches from a traditional uplighter to a contemporary downlighter, which makes it a simple way to refresh an existing pendant or to give a vintage lamp base a new lease of life. It arrives ready to fit, with no assembly required.

Where it works best

Because it is light in both senses of the word, easy to fit and gentle in the light it throws, this shade suits bedrooms, hallways and living rooms where you want a soft, diffused glow rather than direct task lighting. It is equally at home updating a tired ceiling fitting or bringing a plain table or floor lamp base back to life, making it a good pick if you are refreshing a room without replacing the wiring or the base underneath.
