Feature-Lighting Bespoke lampshades & crafted lighting solutions made in Great Britain

Feature Lighting fills a huge gap in the market for people looking to find specific lighting that’s just not available on the high street. Our lighting studio can make almost any shape and size of lampshade, from really small light shades to extra large lampshades, in the widest selection of coverings on the market. Everyday is different at Feature Lighting HQ - we work with such a huge variety of companies, fabrics, patterns & customers. The work is never the same - take a look at the type of work we do.

As a lampshade manufacturer here in the UK we work with a wide variety of clients in the Trade Lampshade and Commercial Lighting sectors, we produce branded lighting for retail stores and interior design brands. We supply wholesale lampshades to property developers for hotel lighting and student accommodation, we also supply luxury lampshades for show homes. We work closely with interior designers and architects on bespoke lighting schemes and we also sell ready made lighting to the public directly and our bespoke lampshades online service is just about to launch through this website. We are proud to make really great quality lampshades here in the UK.

We make beautiful hand crafted lampshades 

Lampshades come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and you’re very lucky if an off the shelf lampshade fits perfectly to your requirements. In very basic terms, considerations are not just shape and size, but also type of fitting - colour and covering - lining and illumination. And in our opinion QUALITY should also be a consideration.

We know lampshades inside out - we make them everyday.  All our lamp shades have hand finished rolled edges, sleek seams and are sympathetic to any material patterns. All our lamp shades are made solely by us to ensure we supply the highest possible quality product.

Because we work with a variety of different clients, our creations are immensely varied - no two days are the same here at Feature Lighting - from contemporary shades in fashionable fabrics, to classic silhouettes in muted tones of beige, to wild & wacky eye-catching illuminated sculptures to fill spaces - if our clients can dream it up, then we can make it, big or small.

We are handmade bespoke lampshade makers based in Manchester / Lancashire UK.

Bespoke Lighting Made to Measure

Whether you are looking for simple drum lamp shades, or more unusual lampshades then you have come to the right place. We can make shapes and sizes that are rarely found even in specialist lighting shops - tapered square lamp shades - oval light shades - rounded square oblong lightshades - conical chinese hats - tall cylinder lamp shades - coolie lampshades - french drum shades, fez hat lampshades - they are given all sorts of silly names, but essentially we work off the dimensions of a lampshade, along with the type of fitting of the lamp.

There is a lot more to making lampshades than meets the eye - it’s not as simple as just saying I need a lampshade - the specification has dimensions and specific fittings and then lamination and fabric choices - but we are experts & will guide you through the options to ensure you get the perfect lampshade.

So, you’re here looking for lampshades?

It doesn’t matter if you are an Interior Designer looking for Modern light shades for a new commercial project, an Architect looking for replacement lampshades for your Artemide Tolomeo Lamps or member of the public looking for a tall retro lamp shade for an antique German Fat Lava lamp base you just bought off ebay, or even if you are a designer maker of quirky up-cycled lights you were compelled to make from your favourite Gin bottles. You are definitely in the right place to buy the right lampshade for your needs.

On the whole we can make most lampshade shapes by using stock components - a process we refer to as configuration - it is a quick and economical way to offer our clients thousands of options - but we do also make bespoke components subject to minimum orders. Obviously this is more applicable to our trade customers who buy volume, some of whom have very specific requirements for their designs and we are more than happy to accommodate these.

We are busier than ever - Brexit has brought an increase in interior design brands and lighting manufacturers re-shoring their trade lampshade production back to the UK from abroad & this is great news to us. Feature Lighting flying the Made in Great Britain flag in 2022.
