Handmade Drum Lamp Shades
Drum lampshades remain one of the most popular lampshade styles available today. Because of their simple cylindrical shape, they offer a clean and versatile look that complements both modern and traditional interiors.
At Imperial Lighting, we manufacture drum lampshades by hand in our Devon workshop. Furthermore, you can choose from a wide range of fabrics, colours and lining options. As a result, it’s easy to create a design that suits your home, project or interior scheme.
Drum lamp shades work on table lamps, floor lamps and selected ceiling fittings. However, the lighting effect depends on the bulb, fabric and lining. Check your chosen design for its intended use.
Whether you’re refreshing a bedroom, creating a contemporary living space or specifying lighting for a hospitality project, drum lampshades offer a timeless solution. Finally, every shade is made to order using quality materials and skilled craftsmanship for a beautifully finished result.

Style Without Compromise
Drum lampshades are popular because they combine style with exceptional versatility. Whether your interior is contemporary or traditional, their clean lines create a simple and balanced appearance.
As a result, Drum shades work beautifully on table lamps, floor lamps and pendant fittings. In addition, their versatile shape makes them suitable for both decorative and practical lighting schemes.
Fabrics for Drum Lamp Shades
Plain and brushed cotton give a relaxed look, while velvet adds rich texture. Alternatively, choose faux silk for a subtle sheen. Available fabrics vary by design.
Drum Lampshade Linings and Light Output
White PVC gives the brightest output, while natural cotton creates a softer glow. In contrast, metallic linings are opaque. They direct light through the top and bottom openings rather than through the sides.
Your bulb also affects the tone of the light. Consider both the lining and bulb when choosing your shade.

Size can make an equally important difference. While smaller Drum shades work well on bedside and table lamps, larger designs can create a striking focal point in living rooms, dining spaces and commercial interiors.
Finally, if you need help choosing the right style, our experienced team can provide advice and fabric samples to help you find the perfect combination.
