Blossoms on Grey | Handcrafted Lampshade
The 'Blossoms on Grey' fabric brings a refined, romantic aesthetic to your interior lighting. Large peony and rose-like blooms in shades of dusty blue, soft pink and warm beige are set against a light grey linen-textured background — elegant, timeless, and beautifully versatile.
Fabric lampshades diffuse light softly, creating a warm and comfortable ambiance that hard shades simply can't match. This design integrates classic floral motifs with a neutral backdrop that works across a wide range of interior styles.
The lampshade in the main photos is a 'Tapered 46' — ideal for a large table lamp or floor stand. The beautiful java wood base in the pictures is also available — visit my table lamp page.
Key Features:
- Personal Expression: Complements individual style and existing décor.
- Softened Light Diffusion: Fabric distributes light evenly, reducing harshness.
- Versatile Sizes: Available in drum, barrel, and tapered shapes to suit various lamp types.
- Textural Addition: Fabric introduces a tactile, premium element to your lighting.
- Quality Craftsmanship: Each lampshade is carefully handcrafted by Sue.
There are 9 tapered sizes and more than 12 drum-style sizes to choose from. Refer to the size charts in the photos to determine the perfect dimensions for your lampshade.
All sizes are numbered for easy selection; for instance, 'Straight sided 15'. Use the drop-down menus to make your choice.
Straight-sided lampshades can be made taller if required. Please get in touch at shadesatgrays@gmail.com
Gold lining: Gold lining adds a little bit of zhuzh to a lampshade — please get in touch at shadesatgrays@gmail.com if you would like more details.
To order a lampshade in this fabric:
In the 1st drop-down menu select the style and shape of lampshade — all dimensions are illustrated in the photos.
Ceiling lights are best chosen from the straight-sided options and most of the tapered shades are only suitable for table or floor stands and are not available for ceiling pendants.
In the 2nd drop-down menu select whether your lampshade is for a table lamp / floor stand, or to be hung from the ceiling. A guide can be found in the photos.
In the 3rd drop-down menu select the ring size of the shade frame.
The options are either bayonet bulb fitting or screw bulb fitting. (See photo). Have a look at your lamp base or ceiling fitting and check if it takes a bayonet or screw fit bulb. This will guide your decision.
If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with a standard flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to make the bulb holder larger which will then fit a screw bulb. More information.
