Some texture...

Fabric with texture makes the most beautiful shades, as gives warm, richness and feeling to the shade.  One just wants to touch it!

Herewith some textured fabrics that just arrived at the Studio:

Bead Frame Shade

From time to time, clients ask me to do make something out of the ordinary, and I always try to assist them, because lampshade making is a challenge, and what keeps me going, is the challenge every day. 

So, I got this phone call requesting a lampshade frame to hang beads to it.  After a few emails, and sketches, I figured it out.  And can you imagine how stunning this frame will look with rows and rows of beads in different colours, glittering when the light shines through....

Herewith the frame at different angles.  The outer ring is 40 cm, the middle one 30 cm and the small one 20cm.  The vertical height from the shade ring to the top is about 20 cm, which leave you with lots of centimetres for the length of the different beads.

mmmmm, keep on dreaming....

Lampshade Measurements

What size shade will you need?

To get the correct measurements for a lampshade size, can sometimes become tricky.  Herewith a picture as how to measure for the sizes that we use.  Compare the size that you prefer, to our sizes on our pages. Please note that we take the vertical measurement as the height of the shade.
