Jade Ell Designs | Slate Blue Leaf | Lampshades
Calm, considered, and quietly striking — a design that brings the garden indoors.
These beautiful lampshades feature Slate Blue Leaf, a fabric design by Wellington-based illustrator and artist Jade Ell. Against a rich slate blue background, an all-over pattern of softly rounded leaves in silver-grey creates a design that is both bold and restful — like looking up through a canopy of foliage on a still, overcast day.
The deep, muted tones of this fabric make these lampshades a sophisticated statement piece. They work beautifully in moody, layered interiors — think dark timber, linen, aged brass, and natural textures — but are equally at home adding depth and contrast to a lighter, more neutral room. When lit, the lampshades cast a warm, atmospheric glow that brings the leaf pattern to life.
Each shade is handcrafted by Shades at Grays, bringing together Jade's locally designed artwork and quality lampshade making in pieces that are as much art as they are lighting.
Available in 21 sizes
These lampshades are available in 21 different sizes to suit any space — from compact bedside table shades to statement floor lamp and ceiling pendant sizes. Select your size from the options above.

Refer to the size charts in the photos to determine the perfect dimensions for your lampshades. All sizes are numbered for easy selection. Use the drop down menus to make your choice.
To order lampshades in this fabric:
In the 1st drop down menu select the style and shape — all dimensions are illustrated in the photos.
Ceiling lights are best chosen from the straight sided options and most of the tapered shades are only suitable for table or floor stands and are not available for ceiling pendants.
In the 2nd drop down menu select whether your lampshades are for a table lamp / floor stand, or to be hung from the ceiling.
In the 3rd drop down menu select the ring size of the shade frame — either bayonet or screw bulb fitting. Check your lamp base or ceiling fitting to confirm which you need.
If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with a standard flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to fit a screw bulb. More information.
Bring a little of the New Zealand outdoors into your home — and support local art at the same time.
