The Explorer’s Garden Hydrangea Lampshade

Hydrangeas have that generous, cloud-like shape that always feels at home in Cornwall, especially against stone walls and soft coastal light.

Drawn for us by Heidi Ball, who has been illustrating for Cream Cornwall since 2012. She sketches every flower head, butterfly and tiny insect by hand in pen. We then bring the elements together and build the blue tones ourselves, letting the colour begin as a soft powder shade and deepen gently into inkier shadows so the design feels layered rather than flat.
Each shade is made by us in our in-house lampshade studio in Penryn.
It’s calm by day and quietly atmospheric by evening.

To help you decide which size shade to pair with your lamp base, we've filmed a video with our own tips which you can watch here.
