The Lampshade Shop is a small, long established, creative team of skilled designers and manufacturers based in a 19th century stone built chapel on the English & Welsh border between Chester and Shrewsbury. We pride ourselves on our quality, customer service and attention to detail. See our testimonial page for customer feedback on our website. We distribute our work Nationally, Internationally and have many high profile projects within film and TV and also hotel and pub refurbishments.
You can either buy a ready-made shade on-line or visit us at our showroom and workshop.
BESPOKE SERVICE
We realise that buying the correct lampshade can be a complex process and we can be on hand throughout. If you are using our bespoke service we will be making the lampshade especially for you in your chosen fabric and trimmings. We prefer to post fabric and trimming samples (free of charge) so that you can match them with existing furnishings in the comfort of your own home and we endeavour to post these the same day by first class mail. Please feel free to contact us. We are happy to use your own fabric in most cases, but will need to discuss fabric suitability and meterage required.
TRADE ENQUIRIES
We have worked on some very high profile projects including making shades for Adele, James Bond and a new Disney movie and many TV productions including Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders, Mr Selfridge and Agatha Christie. We also create shades for hotel and pub refurbishments and we distribute both nationally and internationally.
SIZE GUIDE
Our lampshades are available in many different sizes so that they can be used in all situations; here are some guidelines to help you decide what size you require. The lampshade business uses the longest 'diameter' of a shade base as its size NOT HEIGHT.
Table Lamps As a general guide the height of the table lamp to the bulb holder equals the width of the shade except for free standing floor lamps, see below.
Standard Lamps These are free standing floor lamps ranging in height from 4ft to 6ft and will usually take a 22" lampshade but in some cases an 18" or 20".
Candle Shades Available in several shapes with base diameter ranging from 4" to 5.5". These shades have a clip fitting which fits directly onto the light bulb. Suitable for wall lights and in multiples for ceiling fittings and chandeliers.
Small Table Lamps These will take a size 8", 10" or 12" shade and may be used as bedside lamps.
Medium Table Lamps These will take a size 12", 14" or 16" depending on height and can be used as bedside lamps or on a table in a sitting room.
Large Table Lamps Depending on height these lamps will take a 16", 18" or 20" shade and are used in larger rooms and hotels.
Ceiling Pendants We offer a variety of styles that can be adapted to hang from a ceiling, most popular in sitting rooms and bedrooms. An average bedroom would need a 14" size, with a smaller room requiring a smaller shade and a larger room requiring a 16? up to 22? for a more dramatic look.
