Lampshades

Everyone loves a tapered drum…

Tapered drum lampshades have been very popular at gilhoolie lately. Either restoration of an existing lampshade (as it’s hard to find a replacement of the same dimensions) or made from scratch using a template.

I particularly like restoring a client’s tapered drum lampshade – it’s always a happy feeling when I roll it along the workbench to make a drum, with new PVC and fabric but reusing the existing rings. They look great in a contemporary setting, on a lamp base or hanging from a pendant.

Take a look at some of the ones I have made recently below. And if you’d like one for your home just get in touch.

Lampshades galore…

This week I thought I’d share with you a few photos of the lovely lampshades I have made recently. I’m afraid the picture quality isn’t great; I don’t usually have time for a proper photo shoot before posting them off or handing them over to clients!  I really should though as they look much better in real life…

Most of these have been made from scratch but some of the tapered drums are lampshades that have been recovered – if you have a lampshade you like the shape of I can take it apart and remake it with new PVC and fabric. Just get in touch for more information and prices.
