There is a reason paper lanterns have lit celebrations for generations: they turn any bulb into something softer, rounder, and kinder. The Hush Lantern is a classic round paper shade in a soft beige-white, designed to diffuse light into a calm, even glow.

Choose from five sizes — 8 in (20cm), 10 in (25 cm), 12 in (30 cm), 14 in (35 cm), and 16 in (40cm) — to hang a single statement globe or cluster several at different heights for a cloud-like effect. Each order is a single lantern shade made from lightweight paper. It is a shade only, so pair it with your own pendant cord set and bulb; a cool-running LED bulb is recommended.

Beyond the living room, it softens a bedroom ceiling, adds quiet drama over a dining table, and transforms weddings, gatherings, and seasonal setups. Few things change a room's mood as quickly, or as affordably, as swapping a harsh bare bulb for a glowing paper orb.

Who it's for: The decorator, renter, or host who wants to soften harsh ceiling light without a big investment. Ideal for Japandi, boho, Scandinavian, wedding, and festive setups — and for anyone who loves the simple magic of a glowing paper globe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bulb should I use?
A cool-running LED bulb in a warm white tone (around 2700K) gives the cosiest glow. Avoid hot incandescent or halogen bulbs, which should never sit close to paper.

Which size should I choose?
The 20–25 cm (8–10 in) sizes suit bedsides, small rooms, and clusters. The 30 cm (12 in) is the versatile all-rounder, while 35–40 cm (14–16 in) makes a statement over a dining table or in a living room with a high ceiling.

Can I hang several together?
Yes. Grouping lanterns of different sizes at staggered heights creates a layered, cloud-like look that works beautifully in entryways, stairwells, and open-plan spaces.

Can I use it outdoors?
Paper is not weather-resistant, so Hush Lantern is best for indoor use or sheltered, covered spaces away from rain and moisture.

How do I care for it?
Dust gently with a soft dry brush or cloth, and keep it away from water and direct heat. With careful handling, it will keep its soft, even glow for seasons to come.
