Marmalade Shades

Lampshades handmade with love

Hello I'm Claire and I love to create lampshades!

I created my first lampshade when my youngest son wanted a Paddington Bear themed bedroom and I couldn’t find a matching lampshade so I made one myself.Friends and family started to ask me to make lampshades for them and the rest they say is history.

My business has been running since 2020 and I am now addicted to creating lampshades, sourcing beautiful fabrics and wallpapers to create new designs.

I create my designs in the village of Down Ampney, deep in the Cotswold countryside.

I started working in the spare room of my home but now have a dedicated shed (head office) in my garden where I spend my time listening to podcasts as I work.

I create designs that I love and of course those for children have been given the OK by my 2 boys (although they aren’t so keen on unicorns!)
