Beautiful recycled designer lightshades

Stylish recycled designer lightshades are perfect for your home

Light up your home with Use UK’s range of beautiful recycled designer lightshades. These eco-friendly lightshades are handmade from 100% recycled cardboard – consisting of 80% post-consumer waste and 20% post-manufacture waste – and are available in a range of styles to complement any decor scheme. These include the beautiful regency black, spiro and art deco style Taj oblong as well as a selection of other styles. These recycled shades are designed to fit both pendant and UK standard lamp bases, with the smaller BC (29mm) lamp holder ring inside (this is unsprayed). The lightshades are available in two sizes (small is 17.5 x 20cm and the medium is 20 x 30cm) but, as each shade is made to order, the wider European lamp holder ring is available on request. Because of the recycled material used in the lightshades, each is slightly different and may have minor imperfections, as is characteristic of recycled products – which just adds to their homemade charm. In buying one of these stylish lightshades, you are not only supporting British trade and design, you are encouraging the use of recycled material and preventing waste going to landfill – so this really is a greener way to light your home. Just make sure you use an energy efficient lightbulb to really maximise your eco design credentials!
