Brushed Cotton Fabric

SOFT, TACTILE AND BEAUTIFULLY VERISTILE

Brushed cotton has a wonderfully soft surface with a subtle texture that gives a lampshade a warm and inviting appearance. As a result, it is an excellent choice for creating a soft and comfortable feel within a room. Furthermore, its understated finish works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Faux Silk Fabric 

ELEGANT TEXTURE WITH A SUBTLE SHEEN

Faux silk has a beautifully refined appearance, with a delicate woven texture and subtle sheen that catches the light. As a result, it adds an elegant finish to any room. In particular, it is well suited to traditional and decorative lampshade styles. Furthermore, its subtle sheen helps create a warm and sophisticated look.

Velvet Fabric 

RICH COLOUR WITH LUXURIOUS FINISH 

Velvet fabric lampshades bring beautiful depth, colour and texture to a room. As a result, the soft pile creates a wonderfully luxurious appearance and makes them particularly effective for creating a statement. Furthermore, velvet works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Hessian Fabric

 NATURAL TEXTURE WITH DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER

Hessian lampshades have a distinctive woven texture that brings warmth and character to a room. As a result, their natural finish works beautifully in rustic, traditional and country-inspired interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I supply my own fabric for a lampshade?

Yes. We can make a lampshade using your own fabric, provided the material is suitable for lampshade making. Simply contact us with the details and we can advise on suitability and the amount of fabric required.

Can I order fabric samples before choosing?

Yes. Fabric samples are available to help you compare colours and textures before placing your order. This can be particularly useful when matching a lampshade to existing furnishings or décor. View Our Free Sample page to order fabric samples directly to your home.

Do I need to remove the old fabric before sending my lampshade?

No. Please leave your lampshade as it is. This allows our team to assess its original construction before carefully removing the existing covering.

Which lampshade fabric allows the most light through?

Lighter coloured and more finely woven fabrics will generally allow more light to pass through the lampshade. Cotton, brushed cotton and lighter faux silks are good choices if you would like more light to filter through the shade. Velvet is a thicker, denser fabric, so it allows less light through and creates a richer, more atmospheric effect. Your choice of lining will also influence how much light is emitted through the shade.

Which lining should I choose for my fabric lampshade?

The right lining depends on the appearance and lighting effect you would like to create. A classic white lining provides a clean finish, while metallic linings can create a warmer and more decorative glow.

Can you make a fabric lampshade to my measurements?

Yes. As well as our standard sizes, we can create bespoke lampshades to suit particular requirements. Contact our team with the dimensions and style you require and we can discuss the options available.
