Lighting brings so much to a room. Too bright, and you wash out the energy; too dim, and you literally fall asleep! Indeed, most modern homes have a single pendant light in the centre of the ceiling, which illuminates too harshly. So, warm up your living space with beautiful handmade lampshades forged from a range of stunning, sustainable materials, from powder-painted metals to coloured glass to luxury block-printed artisan fabrics.
Add a splash of pattern, and illuminate your living spaces with gorgeous pleated lampshades in fabulous block-printed fabrics. Alternatively, go for modern glass or metal for understated, timeless sophistication.
The anatomy of a lamp
A freestanding- or table lamp consists of several components, from the lampshade to the body, with a selection of parts connecting them. These are the essentials:
The body or base of the lamp — the section that contains the wiring and supports the shade.
The electrical component — the plug, the cable, the base switch, the socket, and the insulation sleeve.
The lampshade — available in a massive range of different styles, materials, and shapes. The lampshade typically fits onto the body of the lamp with a harp- not the musical type, unfortunately (wouldn't that be lovely!). No, the lamp harp is a semi-circular piece of metal that holds the shade to the lamp. And it’s the lampshade that makes all the difference, I think.
Different types of interior lighting
There are many ways to light up your space — from traditional pendant lights to table lamps and conventional or LED candles.
As the names suggest:
Table lamps are portable and sit on table tops or other surfaces;
Standard lamps are tall, floor-standing lamps, particularly suited to corners, but are easily situated anywhere close to a power socket and clear floor space.
Wall lamps attach to the wall and are hardwired into your home’s electrical circuitry;
Ceiling lamps attach to the ceiling and are connected directly to your home's electrical circuit.
These lamp styles typically require shades, which add decorative interest to your space. However, a decent lampshade diffuses or redirects the bulb's glow for more controllable and directed coverage, protecting your eyes from glare.
The effects of poor lighting
A room's lighting not only affects its ambience but can positively or negatively affect your physical and mental health. Poor lighting in the workplace, for example, causes a range of problems:
Eyestrain
Headaches
Anxiety
Poor sleep
Bad posture
These problems can lead to accidents from decreased concentration, decreased productivity, and a significant decline in mental health. Indeed, research published in Forbes stated that living or working in gloomy rooms with insufficient lighting can make us feel depressed, exhausted, and stressed.
How can I improve the lighting in my living space?
Of course, the most obvious answer is to get more lights. However, naked bulbs are too harsh for living spaces; a bare bulb makes a room feel Spartan and unhomely. So, bring colour, style, and pattern into your living space with gorgeous pleated or block-printed lamp shades. Or incorporate the versatility of rechargeable lamps that you can move around the house with you.
What type of lightbulb can I use with my bespoke handmade lampshade?
All our lampshades are suitable for traditional filament or halogen energy-saving lightbulbs. However, I recommend LED bulbs because they’re energy-efficient and operate at a much lower temperature than filament bulbs. All our fabulous lights and ightshades help diffuse LED light beautifully, so consider:
Pleated lampshades - bringing a traditional cottage styling to your space
Printed lampshades - drawing on fabulous blockprinted fabrics with design inspiration from around the world.
Rechargeable table lamps - offering the ultimate versatility, practicality, and portability.
The history of the lampshade
We're all guilty of taking everyday objects like lampshades entirely for granted. However, these objects of decoration and function have a history dating back to the 1700s, when public lanterns lit Parisian streets, using shades to direct the light. At this stage, lighting was fueled by gas, but one of the principal drawbacks of gas combustion was the high oxygen consumption. This meant that interior lighting required internal ventilation to prevent suffocation. Of course, a problem is often a solution waiting to happen, leading product designers to develop glass enclosures surrounding the flame, preventing domestic air pollution and permitting the user greater control over the flame's size.
Burning gas for lighting produced some pretty terrible smells, like sulphur and ammonia, which flooded the room during combustion. So, scientists of the day developed lampshades to help control the smells and attenuate the light.
In 1879, Edison and Swan independently developed the incandescent filament bulb, revolutionising interior lighting. But the light was too intense, so lampshades were used, made from fabric, metal, or even Tiffany glass to soften, diffuse, and direct the glow.
Lampshade types
There are four principal classifications for lampshade shapes:
Drum lampshades- cylindrical in shape, featuring vertical sides, shaped like a snare drum.
Empire lampshades- a tapered shape, typically with a wider bottom and narrower top, shaped like a truncated cone.
Bell lampshades- similar in shape to the Empire, a bell lampshade has gently curving sides from the narrower top to the wider bottom.
Coolie lampshade- if an Empire lampshade is cone-shaped, a Coolie is shaped like a funnel, with a narrow top and a much wider bottom, offering a dramatic, modern look.
Table lamps
Does your room have a gloomy corner that feels like an energy vacuum? Perhaps the ceiling or wall lights are too “in your face”? Maybe you just want to kick off your shoes at the end of the day, sink into the sofa, and relax.
Bring warmth with a handmade lampshade
Choose neutral tones designed to complement any colour scheme or our gorgeous handmade pleated lampshades, bringing a touch of sophistication to your living space. We’ve hand-selected our favourite designs from artisan maker-designers to help elevate the style profile and ambience of any room in the house.
Stone-effect lamp with shade
Grey is so in vogue right now, injecting a touch of classically elegant Victoriana into your space. This lamp's uniquely textured body gives each piece its own personality. The concentric ribbing presents graduating shades of grey, giving this stone effect lamp the styling for both uber-modern and traditional interiors.
The neat empire shade contrasts the earthiness of the body with a flat, deep grey that projects elegance through clean lines. This sturdy construction instantly transforms any room while proffering a warm, soft glow that radiates calm. So stylish! I absolutely love it.
White ceramic lamp with shade
If you're looking for a beautiful piece that adds chic simplicity to your living space, our gorgeous white lamp in matte ceramic is always a winner. The buff tones of the drum shade transform into a super warm, lightly pink hue when the light goes on, instantly offering understated elegance to your room.
Matte Glass White table lamp
Looking for something small but bright enough to lift the energy of a gloomy corner? Or perhaps you're looking for a bedside light with a minimalist aesthetic? Our matte glass handmade empire lamp provides beautifully dispersed light, offering soft illumination bright enough for reading or adding ambience to your space. The all-in-one body and shade is hand-blown, giving each lamp a genuinely unique look (and perhaps a few gorgeous imperfections).

Oh my, I just love this super-stylish portable lamp with its wavy coolie lampshade. And the best thing about it?It’s rechargeable.

Empire pleated lampshades
This stunning collection uses hand-printed and block-printed ikat, produced and designed in Jaipur by our beloved artisans, and gathered for a gorgeous texture and classic styling.
Isla/Junie/Frannie/Serena mini lampshades
These smaller lampshades are super cute and just perfect for chandeliers, wall lights, mirror lamps, or mounted bedside lights. I love these for sumptuous bedrooms. But they look equally striking in living or dining rooms while bringing hygge to hallways and landings. Alternatively, I adore these as individual or paired wall lights or even mirror lamps! Simply stunning.
Isla
What I love most about the Isla print is when the soft pink patches darken to a gorgeous maroon when the lights go on. This provides a super-cosy hue that accentuates the artfully hemmed upper and lower rims of the shade. Totally stunning!
Junie
Artfully crafted from block printed 100% cotton fabric, the soft shades of denim sky blue look fabulous against the naturally bleached ikat. Each Junie lampshade is handcrafted from a design resembling a Native American weave block-printed by our skilled artisans and gathered, making each piece genuinely unique.
Frannie
I love how the cherry red dye permits the cool cream mesh of the cloth to sing through, championing the fabulous artisan ikat with the Frannie design. But when the lights go on, the cherry red transforms into a deep rich crimson that feels immediately homely and comforting. Partnered with narrow strips of teal, graduating into a deep transparent black, the Frannie offers so much more than just glare protection — it injects a little vibrancy into your life! And who doesn’t need a bit more of that?
Claire
Oh my goodness, I'm in love with this beautiful block-printed lampshade. Made in Jaipur from a hand-printed floral cloth in shades of sky blue blending into deep denim, the Claire Empire pleated lampshade suits sophisticated living spaces and cosy bedrooms. So, if you're trying to find a subtle statement piece that your friends will lust over, select the Claire!
Serena
If you watch any design programme on TV right now, you’ll know that green is THE colour of the 2020s. And the stately leaf detail on the Serena affirms why green is the tone to be seen. For a sumptuous pleated lampshade made from a lovely block-printed cloth, you couldn’t go wrong with the Serena.

Our larger gathered lampshades come in four sizes in diameters of 16cm, 30cm, 40cm, and 50cms. Made from premium quality cloth and crafted by skilled makers, our large lampshades are perfect for anything from table lamps to ceiling lights (and standard lamps in between).
I love how these statement pleated lampshades add pattern and colour to a neutral palette. But they also fit in fabulously if you're thinking a little more maximally, pairing one of our fabulous florals with a statement wallpaper or fabulous scatter cushions.

I love that our statement gathered lampshades never fail to bring a pop of vibrancy to any room, large or small.
