Why Choose a Pendant Lampshade?
Style Without Compromise
Pendant lampshades offer a level of choice and flexibility that many ceiling light fittings simply can’t match. While glass, metal and multi-arm pendant lights are often limited to a single finish, a handmade fabric pendant lampshade allows you to create a look that’s uniquely yours.
Choose from over 100 fabrics and colours, including brushed cotton, velvet and faux silk, then personalise your shade with a choice of linings to create the perfect lighting effect. Whether you want a soft neutral centrepiece or a bold statement shade, your pendant can be tailored to complement your home and interior style.
Pendant lampshades are available in a wide range of shapes, from contemporary Drum and Tall Drum designs to elegant Empire, Coolie and Cone styles. This makes it easy to find a design that suits your room, whether you’re lighting a dining table, kitchen island, bedroom or hallway.
Unlike many fixed ceiling lights, a fabric pendant lampshade is also easy to refresh. As your décor changes, you can update your lampshade with a new colour, fabric or finish without replacing the entire light fitting, making it a practical and long-lasting choice for your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Coolie lampshade?
A Coolie lampshade features a gently tapered shape with a wider base and narrower top. This distinctive profile creates an elegant and timeless appearance. Perfect for modern and traditional settings
Are Coolie lampshades suitable for table lamps?
Yes. Coolie lampshades are a popular choice for table lamps because their proportions work well with a wide range of lamp bases
What is the difference between a Coolie and Empire lampshade?
Both styles feature tapered sides. However, Coolie lampshades generally have a shallower slope and wider profile. This creates a softer and often more contemporary appearance.
What fabrics are available for Coolie lampshades?
We offer a wide range of fabrics including brushed cotton, faux silk, velvet as well as customers own. Fabric samples are available on request.
What lining options do you offer?
Choose a lining to suit your interior, from a white PVC for most light to a softer natural cotton or popular metallics for a muted light
Are Coolie lampshades suitable for modern interiors?
Yes. Although Coolie lampshades have traditional roots, they work beautifully in contemporary interiors when paired with modern fabrics and colours.
