Design Your Own Handmade Drum Lampshade
Create a Drum Lampshade that’s designed especially for your home with our easy-to-use Drum Lampshade Builder. Choose your preferred size, fabric, lining and fitting to create a handmade lampshade that perfectly complements your interior.
Every Drum Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop using carefully selected materials and almost 60 years of lampshade-making expertise. As a result, every shade combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design and exceptional attention to detail.
Available in a wide range of sizes, fabrics and lining options, our Drum Lampshades are suitable for bedside lamps, table lamps, standard lamps, floor lamps and ceiling pendants. Whether you’re refreshing an existing lamp or creating a completely bespoke design, you can customise every detail to suit your home.
Why Choose a Drum Lampshade?
A Drum Lampshade is one of the most popular and versatile lampshade styles available. Its straight-sided profile creates clean, balanced lines that work beautifully in both contemporary and traditional interiors.
The cylindrical shape distributes light evenly while providing a modern, uncluttered appearance. As a result, Drum Lampshades work equally well on table lamps, floor lamps and ceiling pendants, making them a practical choice for almost any room.
Their simple shape also allows the fabric to become the focal point. Whether you choose brushed cotton, velvet, faux silk or plain cotton, a Drum Lampshade provides the perfect canvas for colour, texture and pattern. This combination of versatility and even light distribution is one reason drum shades remain such a popular choice.
Handmade to Order
Every Drum Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop.
Choose from our extensive range of brushed cotton, faux silk, velvet and plain cotton fabrics. Then personalise your lampshade with your preferred lining to achieve the lighting effect that best suits your room.
Our experienced team carefully handcrafts every lampshade before inspecting it to ensure the highest standard of finish.
If you’re unsure which fabric or colour will suit your interior, we’re happy to send free fabric samples before you place your order.
Available Sizes
Our Drum Lampshades are available in a wide range of sizes to suit almost any application.
- Smaller sizes are perfect for bedside lamps and table lamps.
- Medium sizes work beautifully on standard lamps.
- Larger sizes create balanced proportions on floor lamps.
- The reversible fitting also allows suitable sizes to be used as ceiling pendants.
If you need something outside our standard range, we also manufacture bespoke lampshades made to your exact dimensions.
Lining Options
Choose from a range of lining options to create the look and lighting effect that’s right for your home.
White PVC
Our white PVC lining provides maximum light output and has been tested in accordance with Glow Wire lighting safety standards.
Natural Cotton
Natural cotton lining softens the light while creating a warm, relaxed appearance.
Metallic Linings
Choose from gold, silver, champagne or copper linings to create a luxurious decorative finish. Because metallic linings are opaque, they direct light upwards and downwards while producing a warmer, more atmospheric glow.
Dual-Purpose Fitting
Every Drum 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. The reversible fitting also allows suitable sizes to be used as a ceiling pendant, making the Drum Lampshade one of our most versatile designs.
