Handmade Pleated Lampshades
Our ribbon pleated lampshades are handmade by binding a rich cotton ribbon to give an elegant knife pleat effect. Choose from a solid colour or combination of two or three colours for a distinctive appearance.
Colour is an important part of the design. Choose one ribbon colour for a simple, coordinated finish. Alternatively, combine two or three colours for something more individual. Similar shades create a subtle effect, while contrasting colours make a bolder statement.
Our ribbon lampshades come in a choice of shapes and sizes, choose from a classic empire, modern drum or elegant daisy shape.
Pleated Lampshades for Every Interior
Our pleated shades bring texture and decorative detail to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Their timeless design works beautifully with everything from classic furnishings to more modern schemes.
For an understated look, choose soft neutrals or complementary ribbon tones. Alternatively, brighter colours can turn your shade into a striking feature. You can also coordinate the ribbon with curtains, cushions, wallpaper or other furnishings.
Different shapes and sizes suit different lighting applications. For example, selected designs work beautifully with table lamps and standard lamps. If you’re unsure which option to choose, our experienced team can help you find the right shape, size and colour combination.
