Handmade Rectangular Lampshades

We make rectangular lampshades to order in our Devon workshop. Choose from the fabrics, colours and linings available on your selected design.

Their shallow profile can help where space is limited. For example, a rectangular shade can suit a narrow console table or bedside table.

However, check the shade’s length, depth and height against your lamp and the surrounding space.

For bespoke dimensions or customer-supplied fabric, contact us to discuss your requirements.

Fabrics for Rectangular Lampshades

Plain and brushed cotton give a relaxed look, while velvet adds rich texture. Alternatively, choose faux silk for a subtle sheen.

However, available fabrics vary by design, so check your chosen product before ordering.

Rectangular Lampshade Lining Options

White PVC gives the brightest output, while natural cotton creates a softer glow.

In contrast, metallic linings are opaque. Light passes through the top and bottom openings rather than through the sides.

Available options vary by design, so check your chosen product for its lining choices.

Choosing the Size of Your Rectangular Lampshade

First, measure the space around your lamp, including the distance from the wall. Then compare the shade’s length, depth and height.

The depth matters on narrow surfaces, while the length helps you judge the shade’s proportions against the lamp base.

Finally, check your chosen product’s dimensions and fitting before ordering.
