FAQS


Can you make any sized shade?


NO - We are only able to make bespoke shades from the wide range of frame sizes and shapes that we offer.

Unfortunately, we cannot make completely custom-made sizes as it is not cost effective for our busy team to recalibrate our frame-making equipment for indiviual orders.

Please call our sales team to discuss your requirements and obtain a free quote on 01473 826685.

Can I have a shade made in a different fabric?


YES - If you would like a shade made in one of our fabrics that is not already offered as a shade, we should be able to make one for you for a small additional 'bespoke' cost.

Kindly note - fabrics with horizontal stripes do not work well on shades with sloped sides. Vertical stripes are generally ok, while fabrics with large patterns do not work well on small shades.

I need a shade with a pendant fitting

Any shade with straight sides and in plain or  geometric patterned fabric can be used as a pendant because it can be turned upside down.

Can I get my shade lined?


We can line many of our shade shapes and sizes with silver or gold card if you would like something with a little extra wow factor.

Please call the sales team to discuss your ideas and make sure the type of shade you would like lined is suitable.

There is a small additional cost for these linings.

Lamarsh Shades


These are a very specific shape as they are designed to fit our Lamarsh wall lights and do not work well with thick fabrics.

If you are thinking of asking for a bespoke shade to fit our Lamarsh, please discuss it with our sales team first.
