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
I love this shade for adding a touch of colour and pattern without overwhelming a space. Its classic ticking stripe design in red and blue makes it versatile, perfect for both traditional and modern interiors. It works particularly well in casual living rooms or bedrooms when teamed with neutral or wooden furnishings, bringing a pop of personality. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, understated lamp bases to let the shade stand out or layering with other textiles that pick up the colours, such as cushions or throws. This shade’s bold yet timeless pattern can seamlessly elevate a space and make the lighting fixture a focal point.

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.
