There's something quietly grounding about a boho lamp shade made from natural plant fibres — the way it holds light differently than fabric or plastic, casting a warmth that feels earned rather than manufactured. Our collection brings together handcrafted natural banana leaf lampshades and woven raffia lamp shades alongside the textured elegance of braided doum palm shades, each piece carrying the irregularities of the craft that made it. Whether you're dressing a bare pendant fitting or refreshing a bedside lamp, these shades bring an earthy, considered quality to a room that mass-produced lighting simply cannot.
What's in the collection
The range centres on two distinct natural materials. Banana leaf raffia lampshades arrive in practical sets of three, offering a cohesive look for open-plan living, a dining nook, or multiple bedside tables. The fibres are hand-wrapped over a simple frame, so each shade carries its own subtle variation in tone and weave. The braided doum palm shades are smaller, pendant-scale pieces — ideal for kitchen islands, reading corners, or any space where you want a handcrafted focal point without overwhelming the room. Available in black and teal, they add structure and texture at a compact 20×15 centimetres.
How to choose the right shade
Consider the fitting first. All our pendant light shades are designed to work with standard pendant cord kits — pair them with our cables and adaptors for a complete, ready-to-hang setup. For table or floor lamps, check the fitting diameter before ordering; the doum palm shades are compact by design, best suited to smaller bases. If you're dressing a larger room and want visual consistency, the lamp shade sets of 3 in natural banana leaf are the natural choice — three shades, one coherent material, one deliberate look.
Ways to use and style them
These shades belong wherever you want to slow a room down. Hang a pair of braided doum palm shades at differing heights above a kitchen island for a relaxed, collected feel. Use a single natural banana leaf shade as a statement pendant above a low table or reading chair. Layer them with other natural materials — Himalayan salt lamps, coconut leaf lamps, or a selenite lamp — to build a room that feels textured and unhurried. Because they're made from plant fibres, they age beautifully, softening in colour over time rather than degrading.
Frequently asked questions
Are these shades suitable for ceiling pendant fittings?
Yes. The braided doum palm shades are designed as pendant light shades and work with standard pendant cord kits. Always check that your cord kit is compatible with the shade's fitting before ordering.
What fitting size do the banana leaf sets use?
The natural banana leaf raffia sets are designed for standard lamp bases. We recommend checking your lamp's fitting ring diameter against the shade opening to ensure a good fit before purchase.
How do I clean a natural fibre lampshade?
Gently dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or submerging the shade in water, as this can weaken the natural fibres over time. A soft brush attachment on a hoover works well for textured braiding.
Do the shades come with a bulb included?
No — the shades are sold without bulbs or cord sets. You can browse our cables and adaptors collection to find compatible fittings and complete your setup.
Will the natural fibres fade over time?
Like all natural materials, banana leaf and raffia will gently age and soften in colour when exposed to direct sunlight over long periods. This is a normal characteristic of the material and part of the handmade, natural aesthetic.
