Made to Measure Green Lampshades

Made to Measure Lampshades

What green fabrics do you have for making lampshades?

Green's calming effects may be due to its associations with nature, which people often feel is relaxing and refreshing. We find ourselves craving the greens of nature. 

If we can't get enough of green outside, then the fresh reassurance of any shade of green can help to provide a little serenity and calm in our homes. It is worth noting that green is not a primary colour, but a blend of blue and yellow on the visible spectrum. Yellow predominates in vibrant, fresher greens, where dark blue and sometimes even black, can be added for a richer evergreen palette

The different colourways of green we offer are: Lime, Apple, Kale, Field and Moss green, along with Water and, Smoke (a green-blue), and lastly the darkest being Lichen.

The designs with small prints are Pretty Maids and Dainty Daisy; stripes are Stockholm Stripe, Simple Ticking and French Ticking.

Large prints for those big windows are Up The Garden path, Fern and Dragonfly.

What colours should I use to go with my green lampshade?

This depends on the tone and shade of the green but the following colours are a good starting point:

Orange, pink, dark blue and plum.

The Kale green has been beautifully paired with Damson pink and Plum in the Fruit Garden designs.

Lime green is a brighter fresher green and I have mixed this with a brighter Sweet pea pink and also dark Charcoal grey.

Warm-green walls have a fresh look when paired with natural cream linen curtains, edged in green of contrasting colour, or made from our new fresh Herbaceous Border Detail fabric.

Each bespoke lampshade is beautifully made in our local workshops by professionals, and hand finished with great care and attention. Our makers use traditional methods and take real pride in what they do. With Made to Measure, there is no need to compromise; you can create a unique look with your choice of fabric and those important finishing touches that will complement and co-ordinate your home.

There are four shapes to choose from: empire, drum, pleated, and candle (always sold as a pair), along with several size options. You can choose a second fabric to line the lampshade; applicable to drum lampshades only.
