🔩 Detailed steps for installing a pleated lampshade
This step depends on the type of lampshade you have; there are generally two common methods:
💖 Storyline 1: The Embrace of the Skeleton — A Lampshade Without a Metal Top
This lampshade is like a beautiful dress, needing a skeleton to support its elegant form.
🌟 Our "Lighting Journey":
- Prepare the bracket and lampshade: Take out the metal bracket and folding the lampshade, ensuring the work surface is clean and flat.
- Preparation and Meeting：Place the metal frame steadily. Gently pick up the folded fabric and find its narrowest end. Imagine you are gently aligning it with the inner ring at the top of the frame.
- Passing Through the "Gateway": Slowly and patiently pass the narrow end of the fabric through the small ring of the frame. At this moment, the fabric will hang naturally, as if waiting to be brought to life.
- The Moment of Bloom: This is the most beautiful step! With your hands, gently and evenly pull the fabric outwards and downwards until it is fully stretched and the bottom edge is firmly attached to the large ring of the frame. Look! Your lampshade is perfectly formed, how beautiful!

💖 Storyline Two: The Promise of the Bolt — A Lampshade with a Metal Top
This lampshade needs a solid "promise"—a bolt—to ensure its stability and longevity.
🌟 Our "Lighting Journey":
The Beginning of Fixing: First, slip your small disc onto the bolt. Then, thread this assembly through the fixing hole in the center of the frame and tighten it securely. A stable foundation is a prerequisite for beautiful blooming.
The Fabric's Waiting: Pick up your pleated fabric; one edge usually has a structure for securing it (such as a small hole or clip). Align this edge with the center of the bolt on the frame.
Gently join: Gently push the bolted portion of the frame into the center hole of the fabric.
Perfect unfolding: Now, hold the bottom edge of the fabric with both hands and gently pull it outwards and downwards. Like unfolding a beautiful folding fan, let the pleats spread out evenly. A perfect, complete lampshade is now born!
Please refer to our installation diagrams and videos for complete assembly steps.
💌 A friendly reminder:
During installation, please take your time and avoid pulling on the fabric. This gentle approach not only protects the lampshade but also allows you to enjoy the tranquility of handcrafting.
Now, find your lamp base and securely place this hand-assembled lampshade! The light you bring to your home is unique.
