Handmade Oval Lampshades

Oval lampshades are ideal for narrow spaces because their shallow profile takes up less depth than a round shade of equal width. For example, they work well on sideboards, console tables, windowsills and bedside tables.

Each oval lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop. You can also choose from a range of fabrics, colours and linings to suit your interior.

Use an oval shade on a table, bedside or floor lamp. Alternatively, explore pendant options through our Shade Builder. Before ordering, check your chosen product’s fitting and dimensions.

Handmade Oval Lampshades for Every Interior

Oval lampshades suit homes and commercial interiors. In particular, their shallow shape works well where a round shade would take up too much depth.
Plain and brushed cotton give a relaxed look, while velvet adds rich texture.

Alternatively, choose faux silk for a subtle sheen.
Each shade is handmade to order in Devon. However, available fabrics and finishes vary, so check your chosen product before ordering.

Choosing the Size of Your Oval Lampshade

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

The depth matters on narrow tables, while the width helps you judge the shade’s proportions against the lamp base. Finally, check your chosen product for its dimensions and fitting.

Oval Lampshades FAQ

Why choose an oval instead of a round lampshade?

Oval lampshades are ideal for narrow spaces such as sideboards, window sills and bedside tables. Their slimmer profile allows them to fit comfortably without taking up unnecessary space.

What fabrics are available?

Brushed Cotton, Velvet, Cotton, Faux Silk

Choose from plain cotton, brushed cotton, velvet and faux silk in a range of colours. However, colours can look different on screen. Before ordering, request  Free Sample  samples to compare them at home.

What lining options are available?

Embossed, Mirrored, Brushed

White PVC gives the brightest output, while natural cotton creates a softer glow. In contrast, metallic linings are opaque, directing light through the top and bottom openings.

Metallic options include gold, silver, copper and champagne. However, available linings vary, so check your chosen product before ordering.

Your bulb also affects the tone of the light. For example, warm white bulbs around 2700–3000K give a warmer glow, while higher colour temperatures produce a cooler tone.

Explore LED bulbs and lighting options from Kosnic to find out more.

Can oval lampshades be used on floor lamps?

Oval Standard Lampshades

Yes. Oval lampshades work beautifully on both floor lamps and standard lamps, particularly where a narrower shape creates a better visual balance.

Can I supply my own fabric

Yes, we can assess your fabric for an oval lampshade. However, contact us before sending it so we can check its suitability and the amount needed.

Are your oval lampshades handmade?

Handmade In Devon

Yes. Every oval lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop using quality materials and traditional craftsmanship.
