Design Your Own Handmade Coolie Lampshade
Create a handmade Coolie Lampshade that’s designed especially for your home. Using our easy-to-use lampshade builder, you can choose the size, fabric, lining and finish to create a lampshade that perfectly suits your interior.
Every Coolie Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop by our experienced team. We combine carefully selected materials with over 60 years of lampshade-making expertise to produce beautiful lampshades that are built to last.
Available in a wide range of fabrics, colours and lining options, our Coolie Lampshades suit everything from bedside lamps and table lamps to standard lamps, floor lamps and ceiling pendants.
Why Choose a Coolie Lampshade?
The Coolie Lampshade is one of the most versatile lampshade shapes available. Its gently tapered profile combines classic styling with practical light distribution, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The wider base allows light to spread further around the room, while the narrower top creates an elegant silhouette that complements many different lamp bases. Whether you’re updating a favourite table lamp or creating a striking ceiling pendant, a Coolie Lampshade adds balance, character and timeless style. This wide, tapered shape is also known for providing generous downward light, making it a popular choice for larger spaces.
Handmade to Order
We handcraft every Coolie Lampshade to order in our Devon workshop.
Start by selecting your preferred size. Then choose from our extensive range of fabrics, including brushed cotton, faux silk, velvet and hessian. Finally, complete your design with your choice of lining.
If you’re unsure which fabric or colour will suit your home, we’re happy to provide free fabric samples before you order.
Available Sizes
Our Coolie Lampshades are available in a wide range of sizes to suit almost any room.
Smaller sizes work beautifully on bedside lamps and table lamps. Larger sizes complement standard lamps and floor lamps, while selected sizes can also be used as elegant ceiling pendant shades.
If you require something more specific, we also create bespoke lampshades made to your exact dimensions.
Lining Options
Choose the lining that best suits your interior and lighting requirements.
White PVC Lining provides maximum light output and has been tested in accordance with Glow Wire lighting safety standards.
Natural Cotton Lining softens the light while creating a warm, natural appearance.
Metallic Linings, including gold, silver, champagne and copper, produce a more focused light. They also create a luxurious decorative glow inside the lampshade.
Dual-Purpose Fitting
Every Coolie Lampshade includes a dual-purpose fitting suitable for both B22 (Bayonet Cap) and E27 (Edison Screw) lamp holders.
The removable reducer ring allows the lampshade to fit the most common UK and European table lamps, standard lamps and floor lamps.
