When two design powerhouses come together, you can expect something extra special – and this one is ready to take centre stage, quite literally. Cue the Sanderson x John Lewis collaboration, pairing heritage pattern with a modern edge. Heading straight to the top of our wishlist, the Pinetum ceiling shade, in a soft avocado green, is adorned with gentle pleats, timeless pinstripes and finished with a playful gathered skirt – a future heirloom to snap up for just £70.
Take a no-frills approach to styling this one – except, of course, for the skirt itself. Designed to be mixed, layered and lived with, it works just as well suspended solo in a pared-back room, where it does all the talking, as it does woven into a bolder scheme.
As Sanderson’s senior stylist, Bronwyn Erskine, suggests: 'Start with a cohesive colour palette – the style and scale can vary, but sticking to a unified colour scheme helps pull everything together beautifully.'
This one-piece wonder works hard across the home. Set in a kitchen, it leans into a playful, slightly kitsch aesthetic – think painted cabinetry, open shelving and a mix of vintage finds. In a bathroom, it softens harder surfaces, bringing a touch of cottagecore charm to tiles and ceramics. Styled in a bedroom, it casts a cocooning glow that feels both restful and romantic.
Whether your scheme nods to modern country, nostalgic charm or a more eclectic mix, this cotton shade quietly sets the tone – echoing the growing appetite for nostalgic design, which is exactly why we’re calling it a heirloom in the making.
Better still, it’s an easy-fit design, so there’s no need to call in an electrician – making it one of the simplest ways to update a room without redecorating. Simply attach it to your existing ceiling fitting for an instant update.
