What makes Loomkaari’s jute lampshades unique?
Each Loomkaari jute lampshade is handwoven using 100% natural jute fibers by skilled artisans. The organic texture, soft glow, and timeless design bring a touch of earthy sophistication to your interiors — blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.
Are jute lampshades eco-friendly?
Yes! Jute is one of the most sustainable and biodegradable fibers in the world. Our lampshades are made from renewable jute, promoting conscious living and eco-friendly home décor.
What kind of light do jute lampshades emit?
Jute lampshades create a warm, diffused glow that adds cozy ambiance to any space. The natural weave allows soft light to filter through, making them perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading corners.
Can jute lampshades be used with all types of bulbs?
Most Loomkaari jute lampshades are compatible with standard LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs. For the best aesthetic and to preserve the material, we recommend using energy-efficient warm LED bulbs.
How do I clean and maintain a jute lampshade?
Simply dust the lampshade using a soft cloth or a handheld vacuum with low suction. Avoid water or harsh cleaning agents, as jute can absorb moisture and lose shape. Gentle care keeps your lampshade looking new and vibrant.
Can jute lampshades be used outdoors?
Our lampshades are designed for indoor use. While they can enhance covered patios or balconies, exposure to direct sunlight or moisture for long periods may damage the natural fiber.
Do all Loomkaari jute lampshades look the same?
No — each piece is handcrafted, so minor variations in weave, color, and texture are expected. These subtle differences highlight the authenticity of handmade craftsmanship and make every lampshade one of a kind.
Can I customize the size or shape of my jute lampshade?
Yes! Loomkaari offers custom jute lampshade designs for interior projects and bulk orders. You can choose from different shapes, weaves, and finishes to match your décor vision.
Will the color of my jute lampshade fade over time?
Natural jute shades may slightly mellow when exposed to sunlight for long durations. To retain their color and texture, keep them in shaded indoor spaces and use low-heat bulbs.
How do Loomkaari lampshades support artisans?
Each Loomkaari lampshade is handcrafted by local artisans using age-old weaving techniques. Your purchase directly supports sustainable livelihoods and preserves India’s traditional handcrafting heritage.
