Design Your Own Handmade Retro Drum Lampshade
Create a handmade Retro Drum Lampshade that’s designed to suit your home perfectly. Using our Retro Drum Lampshade Builder, you can choose the size, fabric, lining and fitting to create a bespoke lampshade that’s made just for you.
Every Retro Drum Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop using carefully selected materials and over 60 years of lampshade-making expertise. As a result, every shade combines traditional craftsmanship with a clean, contemporary finish.
Available in a wide choice of fabrics, colours and lining options, our Retro Drum Lampshades are suitable for table lamps, bedside lamps, standard lamps, floor lamps and ceiling pendants.
Why Choose a Retro Drum Lampshade?
A Retro Drum Lampshade combines the clean lines of a drum shade with a gently tapered profile, creating a softer and more elegant silhouette. The wider base and narrower top give the lampshade a balanced, retro-inspired shape that works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional interiors.
The tapered design helps create a comfortable spread of light while adding depth and character to your lighting. Whether you’re updating a favourite lamp base or creating a striking ceiling pendant, a Retro Drum Lampshade offers a timeless look that never goes out of style.
Handmade to Order
Our experienced team handcrafts every Retro Drum Lampshade in our Devon workshop.
Choose from a wide selection of brushed cottons, faux silks, velvets and hessian fabrics. Then personalise your lampshade with your preferred lining to create the lighting effect that best suits your room.
If you’re unsure which fabric will complement your interior, simply request one of our free fabric samples before placing your order.
Available Sizes
Our Retro Drum Lampshades are available in a wide range of sizes to suit almost any room.
Smaller sizes are ideal for bedside lamps and table lamps. Larger sizes work beautifully on standard lamps and floor lamps. Alternatively, choose the pendant option to create a stylish ceiling light.
If you require a custom size, we also manufacture bespoke lampshades to your exact dimensions.
Lining Options
Choose the lining that best suits your interior and lighting requirements.
White PVC Lining provides excellent light output and has been tested to Glow Wire lighting safety standards.
Natural Cotton Lining softens the light and creates a warmer, more natural appearance.
Metallic Linings, including gold, silver, champagne and copper, create a luxurious finish while directing light upwards and downwards. Because metallic linings are opaque, they produce a more focused and atmospheric glow.
Dual-Purpose Fitting
Every Retro 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. If you choose the pendant option, the same fitting works perfectly with compatible ceiling light fittings.
