Why Imperial Lighting?

Imperial Lighting is a UK manufacturer and supplier of black lampshades. We offer a wide range of both modern and traditional styles.

In addition, we work directly with both trade customers and the public. This means we can supply high-quality black lampshades at competitive prices.

Based in Devon, Imperial Lighting is a family business with over 60 years of experience. Because of this, we are proud to provide excellent customer service as well as carefully made black lampshades.

We offer a wide range of lampshade shapes to choose from. These include modern styles such as drums, coolies, rectangles and squares.

In addition, we also produce classic styles including scalloped shades, bowed empires and pleated empires. All of our lampshades can be made in a choice of black fabrics or even using your own fabric.

Sizes are available for candle shades, table lamps, standard lamps and floor lamps, making it easy to find the right lampshade for your lighting.

If your black lampshade has become damaged or worn, we also provide a convenient recover service. This is ideal if you have a frame you like but would prefer it recovered in a different fabric.

However, we can only recover soft lampshades, so the frame must be rigid and in good condition. It must also include metal struts that connect the top and bottom rings.

Black Candle Lampshades

Black candle lampshades are available in both traditional and modern styles. They come with a clip-on fitting, making it easy to attach them directly to the light bulb.

Our candle lampshade shapes include straight drums, empires, squares, bells, and scalloped bells.

We also supply black wall shades that do not clip to the light bulb. Instead, they fix directly to the light fitting. These shades are usually custom-made to order, so please contact us for more information.

Pros and Cons of Black Lampshades

Pros

Black lampshades are a popular choice for many homes. They add style and can bring a sense of elegance to a room. As a result, they work well in both modern and traditional interiors.

Another advantage is their versatility. For example, black lampshades pair well with many types of lamp bases, including metal, wood and ceramic. In addition, they suit a wide range of colour schemes, from neutral tones to bold designs.

Black lampshades can also help create a warm atmosphere. Because they direct light downward, they produce a softer and more relaxing glow. Therefore, they are a good choice for bedrooms, living rooms and dining areas.

They are practical as well. For instance, black shades can reduce glare and focus light where it is needed, such as on a table or reading area. Furthermore, darker fabrics can hide small marks or dust more easily than lighter shades.

Black lampshades are also widely used in commercial spaces. For example, restaurants, hotels and offices often use them to create a smart and professional look.

Overall, black lampshades combine style and practicality. Because of this, they are a great choice for both homes and businesses.

Cons

However, black lampshades may not suit every space.

One possible drawback is that they can block more light than lighter shades. As a result, they may not provide enough brightness for tasks such as reading or working.

In addition, black lampshades can make smaller rooms feel darker. This is especially true in spaces that do not have much natural light.

They may also not match every interior style. For example, very light or pastel rooms often suit softer coloured shades better.

Cleaning may also require a little more care. In some cases, dust or fingerprints can be easier to see on darker fabrics.

For these reasons, it is important to consider the lighting and style of your room before choosing a black lampshade.
