Design Your Own Handmade Tall Drum Lampshade
Create a Tall Drum Lampshade that’s tailored to your home with our easy-to-use builder. Choose your preferred size, fabric, lining and fitting, and we’ll handcraft your lampshade to order in our Devon workshop.
The tall drum shape combines the clean lines of a classic drum lampshade with increased height to create a striking, contemporary silhouette. Its balanced proportions make it an excellent choice for table lamps, floor lamps, standard lamps and ceiling pendants.
Every Tall Drum Lampshade is handmade using carefully selected materials and almost 60 years of lampshade-making experience. As a result, every shade is built to your exact specification and finished to the highest standard.
Why Choose a Tall Drum Lampshade?
A Tall Drum Lampshade creates a stronger visual statement than a standard drum shade while maintaining the same clean, contemporary style.
The increased height draws the eye upwards and creates a more architectural appearance, making it particularly suitable for taller lamp bases and modern interiors. At the same time, the straight-sided profile provides even light distribution and a balanced appearance.
Tall Drum Lampshades are also known as cylinder lampshades because of their vertical sides. This timeless shape works beautifully in both contemporary and classic interiors while allowing the fabric and colour to become the main design feature.
Handmade to Order
Every Tall Drum Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop.
Choose from a wide selection of brushed cottons, faux silks, velvets and hessian fabrics. Then complete your design by selecting the lining that best suits your interior and lighting requirements.
Our experienced team handcrafts every lampshade before carefully inspecting it to ensure exceptional quality and attention to detail.
If you’re unsure which fabric or colour will complement your home, we’re happy to provide free fabric samples before you order.
Available Sizes
Our Tall 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.
- Medium sizes work beautifully on standard lamps.
- Larger sizes create striking proportions on floor lamps.
- Suitable sizes can also be used as elegant ceiling pendants.
If you need a custom size, we also create bespoke lampshades made to your exact dimensions.
Lining Options
Choose from a range of lining options to achieve 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, natural appearance.
Metallic Linings
Choose from gold, silver, copper or champagne linings to create a luxurious decorative finish. Because metallic linings are opaque, they reflect light upwards and downwards, producing a warmer and more atmospheric glow.
Dual-Purpose Fitting
Every Tall 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. Suitable sizes can also be fitted as ceiling pendants using the reversible fitting.
