Where to feature our Lampshades
Made to order lampshades covered in your favourite fabrics can be a feature in any room. Popular with our customers are;
If a contrast lining is chosen for the inside of the drum Lampshade, will the fabric show through?
If another of our fabrics is used for the inside of your drum lampshade, it will show through slightly when lit at night. Our maker uses a white laminate to place the fabrics onto, so the secondary fabric is as hidden as it can be, but when lit during the evening, will show through a little. During the day this is of course not a problem, but please be aware of this when considering your lampshade ideas.
All our lampshades are supplied with a UK B22 standard fitting. The smaller candle shades come with a fitting that clips onto the light bulb itself using a 'candle clip fitting'.
