Compare the Carmina Leaves Medium and Mini spare part sets by lamp compatibility, color options, and price so you order the right leaf replacement the first time.
Quick answer
Match the spare part to the lamp you already own: Carmina Leaves Medium is the full white leaf set for the Carmina Medium lamp, while Carmina Leaves Mini fits any Carmina Mini lampshade and comes in four colors. The two sets are not interchangeable, so check your lamp size before ordering.
The size difference is about lamp compatibility, not leaf count
Both sets are full leaf sets, so the real decision is which Carmina fixture sits in your room. The Medium set is made for the Carmina Medium lamp; the Mini set is made for the Carmina Mini lampshade. Neither listing suggests the leaves cross over between sizes, so ordering by lamp model is safer than ordering by eye.
This matters because a leaf set that does not match your shade will not restore the layered look you bought the lamp for. If you are unsure which Carmina you own, measure the shade or check the original order before adding a set to your cart.
Color choice is the biggest practical trade-off
The Medium set is supplied in white only, which keeps a white Carmina Medium looking consistent but limits you if you want to change its expression. The Mini set is available in White, Turquoise, Azure, and Marrakech, so a Carmina Mini owner can refresh the existing color or deliberately shift the lamp's look.
That flexibility comes with a caution: on a colored Mini shade, a white replacement set will read as a contrast rather than a match. Decide whether you want to restore the original color or create a new combination before you choose.
Price reflects the size of the set, not a quality gap
The Medium set is listed at USD 23.76 against a catalog comparison price of USD 36.00, and the Mini set at USD 16.32 against USD 24.00. The difference tracks the larger lamp the Medium set serves, so do not treat the lower Mini price as a lesser part.
Buy the set that fits your lamp. Saving a few dollars on the wrong size only leaves you with leaves you cannot use.
Trade-offs to weigh before you order
- Fit certainty vs color flexibility: The Medium set removes guesswork on color because it is white only, while the Mini set asks you to choose among four colors that may or may not match your existing shade. If you want a no-decision replacement, the Medium set is simpler; if you want to restyle a Mini, accept that color matching is now your job.
- Lower price vs correct lamp: The Mini set costs less, but that saving is only real if you own a Carmina Mini lampshade. The Medium set costs more because it serves the larger lamp. Confirm your lamp model first, then compare prices.
- Full-set replacement vs partial repair: Both products are full leaf sets rather than single leaves, so you replace the whole leaf detail instead of patching one spot. If only one leaf is damaged, a full set still gives you matching spares for later.
