Most shades here are around 40 cm (about 16 inches) across or more, and the TEERAYA runs up to XXXL. Around 40 cm (16 in) is wide enough to anchor a table or island without overwhelming a standard room, while the widest pieces, about 50 to 60 cm across, suit larger tables, open-plan spaces and tall ceilings. Check each product page for the height and diameter. As a guide for a dining table, choose a shade roughly 30 cm (12 in) narrower than the table width.
Over a dining table, hang the bottom of the shade 70–85 cm (28–34 in) above the tabletop on a standard 8-ft ceiling; over a kitchen island, 75–90 cm of clearance below the light works well. In a tall or double-height room you can hang higher to fill the volume. A large single pendant usually reads better than several small ones over one table. Shades come with their hanging hardware, but without a cord or bulb; for hardwired fittings, use a qualified electrician.
No. Woven bamboo and rattan shades are lightweight, even in the larger sizes. They come with their hanging hardware but no cord, so hang yours from a plug-in pendant kit or a ceiling cord set, both sold separately, and make sure the ceiling fitting is secure.
A large shade spreads warm, naturally diffused light over a wide area, but the open weave softens it rather than flooding the room. Fit a warm-white LED (around 2700K) with plenty of output — 1100 lumens or more for a dining or living area, and consider two bulbs or a cluster for a large open-plan space. Choose a slightly higher-output bulb than you would behind a solid shade, and a dimmable one so you can take it from bright at dinner to a soft evening glow. Over a kitchen island, treat it as ambient light and add task lighting on the worktop.
