Description
The Ticking Stripe Lampshade Wide Red/Blue by Shropshire Shades brings classic pattern and character to your lighting. Traditionally used for pillows and upholstery thanks to its closely woven construction, ticking fabric has an enduring appeal. Wider blue stripes are complemented by fine red lines against a natural ground, creating a distinctive design particularly suited to country and vintage-inspired interiors.
Our Stylist Says
This lamp shade is a great choice for adding a pop of colour and pattern to a variety of interiors. I love how the bold red and blue stripes offer a modern yet slightly retro vibe, making it versatile for both contemporary and vintage-inspired spaces. It works particularly well in rooms with neutral or earthy tones, where it can act as an eye-catching focal point. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple table or floor lamps, and placing it in a cosy corner or on a sideboard to introduce visual interest without overwhelming the space. Its width makes it ideal for larger lamps and statement lighting setups, helping to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

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.
