Custom Shades

Overview

We love partnering with designers and interior lovers to help bring concepts to life with custom shades for lamps, sconces, and pendants. Here's how it works. Place your purchase for a custom pleated or gathered round shade or hanging pendant shade on our store page. Then use the form below to provide additional information about design preferences. After your order, we'll contact you to ensure that we understand your order and to provide you with instructions for mailing materials.

​

Fabric Selection

When selecting fabrics remember that lampshade making requires lightweight fabrics with little to no stretch, like cotton lawn. We typically line shades with an off-white silk. If you would like a different inside liner used, please mail that fabric to us. 

Our pendant shades are typically not lined and look best when the chosen fabric has no right or wrong side. For example, we generally work with a lighter weight pre-dyed woven linen. Pendant shades can be made out of lightweight or midweight fabrics. 

​

Block Printing

Some of our designs incorporate block printing. If you see a Larkspur block print design you'd like us to incorporate into your custom order, please let us know in the form below.

Material Quantities

One and a half yards of fabric per lampshade is needed. If you are requesting a special lining, please send one yard of inside lining fabric. If you would like a special ribbon, fringe, or gimp added, please send enough to finish the shade.
