Step 1. Use rubbing alcohol to clean ceiling & Ceiling Mount:

Use rubbing alcohol to clean the Ceiling Mount and ceiling surface where the Ceiling Mount will attach. Ensure both surfaces are completely dry before moving onto the next step.

Step 2. Affix renter-friendly removable tape to Ceiling Mount:

Start by making 6 pairs of the provided tape by firmly pressing two sides together. Take one pair and remove the backing on one side. Press it onto the Ceiling Mount at one of the 6 the indented locations (the side without the magnets). Repeat this step until all 6 pairs are attached. Next remove the backings on all 6 pairs.

Step 3. Attach Ceiling Mount to ceiling:

Start by centering your Ceiling Mount around your light. Ceiling fixture must be 15” or less in diameter. Once centered, firmly press the Mount onto the ceiling by pressing the grooves underneath the 6 tape locations repeatedly for 30 seconds. 

Step 4. Install the Shade:

Pop in the top ring of your Shade inside the Ceiling Mount and attach to the three magnets, starting with the magnet furthest from you.

WARNING: Once installed, the Shade should not have direct contact with your existing light fixture. Prolonged direct contact between the fabric Shade and existing light fixture could cause a fire hazard and should be avoided.

Our renter-friendly removable tape is designed to be easily removed without damage to your ceiling. However, in some rare cases depending on the condition of your ceiling, paint ceiling material may come off with removal. Typically this can be easily fixed with wall spackle and a quick repaint. This also applies if you use the screws on a textured ceiling for a more permanent install.

In addition to step 1 above, use the 3 no-mess drywall screws provided to secure your Ceiling Mount to your ceiling.

We recommend changing out any incandescent bulbs to LED bulbs. We love the warm, inviting glow of 2700K LED bulbs—they create the perfect ambiance while being energy-efficient and producing minimal heat. Here's a link to our favorite light bulbs.

While there’s no strict wattage limit, we recommend choosing an LED bulb with a brightness level that suits your space. Most importantly, ensure the bare bulb does not come into direct contact with your Tulip Shade for both safety and longevity.

Wrinkled vs Steamed:

Our hand-sewn Shades are shipped flat, meaning when unboxed they will appear wrinkled like a paper lantern, a look we love. If a crisper look is desired, use a garment hand steamer to eliminate wrinkles.

Cleaning:

Our 100% cotton Shades can be spot cleaned and deodorized with standard fabric care products. Our Shades are not machine washable.

Step 1: Gently remove Ceiling Mount:

Do not pull your Ceiling Mount straight down. Grab one side of the Ceiling Mount and peel it from your ceiling allowing the renter-friendly removable tape strips adhered to the Ceiling Mount to release one by one.

Step 2: Carefully remove tape:

Remove the 6 remaining renter-friendly removable tape strips by slowly pulling the tabs along the ceiling to release.
