Price History
Description
Perfect for accessorising our made-to-order pendant lampshades; softening the glare of a light bulb. Sitting inside the bottom of the rim this diffuser draws your eye to the shade and emits a warm light.
Our Stylist Says
I love this diffuser for its simplicity and versatility; it subtly softens the light without overwhelming the space. The Shropshire Shades lampshade is particularly effective in both contemporary and traditional interiors, adding a touch of understated elegance. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even cosy reading nooks, especially when paired with warm-toned bulbs for a welcoming ambience. For styling tips, consider coordinating it with other neutral-toned accessories or textured fabrics to create a cohesive look. Its clean, understated design ensures it complements a variety of lighting fixtures and keeps the focus on the overall aesthetic rather than the shade itself.

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.
