Description
Bring natural texture and warmth to your interior with the Katiya Slub Silk Lampshade from Shropshire Shades. Handwoven in India using irregular yarn spun from short, soft wild silk filaments, its tactile surface celebrates traditional craftsmanship. The distinctive slub texture gives each shade a relaxed, homespun character, creating a softly diffused glow and an inviting addition to your space.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Katiya Slub Silk lampshade for its natural, understated texture that adds warmth and softness to a room. Its neutral tone makes it versatile, working particularly well in contemporary, Scandinavian, or boho interiors. For styling, try pairing it with wooden or brass accents to enhance the earthy feel, or use it as a subtle anchor in a neutral palette to bring cohesion. It’s also a great choice for creating a cosy atmosphere - perfect over sofas or dining areas. Practical tip: because of its simple shape and fabric finish, it pairs nicely with both statement and minimalist table lamps, offering flexibility for different room styles.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
