Berry & Grouse lampshades are individually made to order, utilising professional-grade materials to ensure a superior finish. Each piece is constructed with a discreet single seam and hand-finished with a smooth rolled edge for a clean, contemporary silhouette.

The internal structure features durable epoxy-coated steel wire frames, providing long-lasting stability and strength.

To ensure safety and aesthetic longevity, Berry & Grouse uses a premium matt white PVC inner liner. This specialist material is engineered with UV stabilisation and anti-yellowing properties to maintain its crisp finish over time. For peace of mind, the liner is also anti-static and has undergone rigorous fire-resistance treatments, meeting the highest standards for home interiors.

Fabric Alignment
As each item is handcrafted, the placement of the pattern may vary from the images displayed. Berry & Grouse utilises authentic textiles and is an authorised stockist. On orders comprising multiple items, the fabric will be cut as a continuation of the design to ensure consistency, unless a specific alternative is requested (please note that bespoke pattern matching may incur additional charges).

Dye Batches & Manufacturing
Please be advised that dye batches, yarn colours, and pattern repeats may vary slightly between production runs. While these differences are maintained within the strict tolerance levels established by the manufacturer, subtle variations may occur between separate orders.

Colour, Digital Representation & AI Imagery
Berry & Grouse utilises a combination of official manufacturer photography and AI-generated imagery to showcase products within various interior settings. Please be aware that AI-generated visuals may occasionally distort the true scale of the fabric pattern or the exact dimensions of the item. Furthermore, actual colours may vary depending on individual monitor settings and display technology.

To ensure complete satisfaction with the colour, scale, and texture of the material, Berry & Grouse strongly recommends requesting a fabric sample prior to purchase.

Berry & Grouse offers a comprehensive selection of ring sets to ensure a precise fit for any interior. Each design is suitable for either table/standard lamps or ceiling pendants, unless otherwise specified.
