The Solaine Paper Lantern Table Lamp is a rice paper shade held in a slim frame of lacquered oak. The paper does the work an ordinary shade cannot: instead of directing light out of an opening, the whole surface turns luminous, so there is no bright edge and no hot spot anywhere on it.
The frame is the counterweight. Its dark verticals give the soft mass of paper a drawn outline and keep the lamp from reading as a shapeless glow. At 15″ across and 19.7″ tall this is a lantern rather than a bedside accessory — large enough to light a corner on its own. Supplied in black and white, with 59″ of cord, an in-line switch and a choice of US, UK, EU or AU plug.
Paper lights up across its entire surface, so there is no bright spot to look away from.
The dark oak verticals draw an outline around the soft mass, keeping the silhouette sharp.
At 15″ wide and 19.7″ tall it lights a whole corner rather than just a nightstand.
Stretched over the frame by hand. Fine variation in fibre and tone across the surface is inherent to the material.
Polished before lacquer — a finish shows every mark left underneath it, so the sanding has to come first.
59″ of cord with an in-line switch you can reach without leaning over the shade. Four plug standards available.
Nearly 20″ tall, this sits closer to a small floor lamp than a table lamp. Give it depth as well as width — a surface at least 18″ deep keeps the shade off the wall and away from anything that gets knocked.
The soft, even output suits a room you are winding down in. Because the shade is 15″ across it wants a generous nightstand — measure before you commit.
The strongest position. On a long console it anchors one end and leaves the rest of the surface free, and the height fills wall space that a low lamp would leave empty.
Diffused light fills a corner comfortably but does not concentrate on a page. Pair it with a directional reading light rather than asking it to do both jobs.
Stood directly on the floor it reads as a lantern set down rather than a lamp missing its table — a good answer for a corner with no surface to work with.
The shade is 15″ across and the lamp stands 19.7″ tall — taller than most table lamps and closer in presence to a small floor lamp. On a narrow nightstand it will overhang, so check your surface depth before ordering.
That depends on the bulb, not the lamp. Fit a dimmable E26 or E27 lamp and use a plug-in or smart dimmer and it dims normally; a standard non-dimmable bulb will not. There is no dimmer built into the fixture — the in-line switch is on/off.
One E26 or E27 medium-base lamp up to 60W. Bulbs are not included. A 2700K LED reads warmest through the paper and keeps heat low, which matters more here than in a metal or glass fixture.
Yes, at the rated wattage and with the frame keeping the paper clear of the lamp. Stay at or below 60W, use LED where you can, and never let the paper touch the bulb.
Choose US, UK, EU or AU at checkout and the lamp ships with that plug fitted. The fixture itself runs on AC 110–240 V, so it works anywhere in that range.
In-line on the cord, so you can reach it without leaning across the shade. The cord is 150 cm / 59″ long and can be supplied longer on request.
Rice paper is durable in normal indoor use but it is still paper — keep it out of direct sunlight, away from damp rooms, and out of reach of pets. Replacement shades can be supplied; contact us with your order number.
Dust the shade with a dry anti-static duster or a soft brush. Never use a damp cloth or any cleaning liquid on paper. The lacquered frame can be wiped with a barely damp cloth and dried straight away.
No. Fibre distribution and tone vary slightly across sheets, which is visible when the lamp is lit. That variation is characteristic of the material rather than a fault.
Paper and wood are packed in a fitted carton, but transit damage is still possible. Photograph the carton and the lamp and contact us within 48 hours of delivery and we will arrange a replacement shade or a new lamp.

Selecting the right size light fixture is essential to achieving both functional lighting and balanced aesthetics. A fixture that’s too small can feel underwhelming, while one that’s too large can overwhelm the space. Use the following guidelines and tips to find the perfect light fixture size for your room.
1. Calculate the Diameter
Use this simple formula to determine the ideal diameter for your light fixture:
Example: 18 feet (Room Length) + 12 feet (Room Width) = 30 feet; The chandelier should be about 30 inches for its diameter
2. How to determine the chandelier’s height
To find the ideal height for a fixture:
Measure the space’s floor to ceiling distance in feet, multiple by 2.5 will be the approximate height for the chandelier in inches. This rule mainly apply to pendant style chandelier while not necessarily apply to ceiling style chandelier.
Example: For example 10 feet (Room Height), 10*2.5 = 25 The chandelier should be about 25 inches for its height
3. How to determine the appropriate height for hanging a chandelier
If you are hanging the chandelier on an open floor, chandelier’s bottom should at least be 7.5 feet away from the floor.
If you are hanging the chandelier above a dining table or kitchen island, chandelier’s bottom should be 30 to 36 inches away from the tabletop.
Besides those general rules that apply to most spaces, there are other rules and tips for different areas, like what size chandelier should be used for the dining room and what about foyers?
Dining Room & Kitchen island
If you are hanging the chandelier above your dining table or kitchen island, you can also decide the size of the chandeliers based on the size of your dining table or kitchen island. We generally recommend that the length or diameter of the chandelier should be between 1/2 and 3/4 of the length of the dining table or kitchen island.
For example, let's say that you have a dining table with 60 inches in length. The chandelier should be between 30 (60 x 1/2) to 45 (60 x 3/4) inches in diameter or length (Same here 1/2 to 3/4 of the kitchen island length)
Two-Story Foyer with Staircase
Besides the general rule that the chandelier’s bottom should be at least 7 and a half feet away from the floor. For two stories, what you also need to consider is how will it look from the second floor. In general, staircase chandeliers will be a good choice for space. In term of placing, below are two commonly seen guidance:
Long Hallways
Chandelier size for hall ways should be determined by the width of the hallway. Multiple the hallway’s width in feet by 2.5 will be the diameter of the chandelier in inches.
For example, the hallway’s width is 8 feet. The chandelier’s diameter should be about 20 (8 x 2.5) inches
If you want to decorate with chandelier for your long hallways. We always recommend having them

Before starting, ensure you have all the tools and follow safety protocols.

Ladder, pliers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, power drill(optional), a drill bit(optional)
Safety First:
Turn Off Power: Shut off power at the breaker panel for the room you’re working in.

Remove the Old Fixture: Carefully unscrew and disconnect the existing light. Retain screws or mounting hardware, as they may be helpful for the new fixture.
Step 2: Assemble the Chandelier
Lay out all parts and assemble your fixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Organize Components: Spread all parts on a flat surface for easy access.
Pre-Assemble Parts: Attach rods, chains, or decorative elements, and set the hanging height to your preference.
Secure Decorations: Attach shades, crystals, or other decorative elements while on the ground to simplify installation.
Step 3: Install the Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is vital for a stable and secure fixture.
Attach the Bracket: Secure it to the ceiling junction box using screws provided.
Check Stability: Gently pull on the bracket to ensure it’s firmly in place. For heavier fixtures, use a fan brace or additional support.
Step 4: Connect the Wiring
Wiring is a crucial step—take care to follow these guidelines:
Identify Wires:
Black: Live/hot wire
White: Neutral wire
Green/Bare Copper: Ground wire
Wiring Instructions:
Ground Wire: Connect the pendant’s ground wire to the junction box’s ground wire and secure with a connector.
Neutral Wires: Twist the white wires together and secure with a wire connector.
Live Wires: Connect the black wires and secure them.
Double-Check Connections: Tug each connection gently to ensure they are secure and no bare wires are exposed.
Tip: If you’re unsure about wiring, consult a licensed electrician.
Step 5: Attach the Chandelier
Mount your fixture onto the bracket.
Secure the Fixture: Align the pendant with the mounting bracket and use screws or nuts to fasten it.
Adjust Alignment: Check that the pendant hangs level and at the correct height before tightening fully.
Step 6: Finalize Setup
Add the finishing touches to your fixture.
Insert Bulbs: Use the recommended wattage and type for your Chandelier.
Attach Shades or Covers: Secure any shades or covers not attached earlier.
Stability Check: Ensure all components are secure and the fixture hangs level.

Make Final Adjustments: Step back to assess height and alignment, and make any necessary tweaks.
Additional Tips for Chandelier Installation
