Handmade Lampshades | Colourful Candle Clip Lampshades For Winter 2023

This time of year is beautiful in many ways, but with darker days, cooler air and the outdoors visually fading into winter, it gives us the perfect excuse to liven up the inside of the home with vibrant colour, texture and pattern.

With less natural light to enjoy, maximising your existing light fittings with contrasting fabric or a beautiful blend of colour is a great way to add value to your decor without spending too much. Easy to install Colourful Candle Clip Lampshades offer excellent versatility for all styles of wall lighting.

Handmade in Suffolk by our talented Soft Furnishings team, there is a wide offering of clip on lampshades in a classic candle shade shape, french drum or dainty tapered style. Expertly crafted to add a decorative touch of colour and pattern for livening up darker nooks of the home, these shades are easy to clip on and swap between fittings, allowing for greater personal choice and creativity.

GOLDS & YELLOWS

Whether you’re after warm, bold or something more earthy, yellows and golds can bring a spectrum of feeling to a room. Choose from a range of tones starting from sunny optimism with our bright velvet or a more classic elegance with soft gold cotton.

Solid Brass Candle Shade in Antiqued Brass, Cow Parsley Candle Shade in Soft Gold, Candle Shade in Saffron Hunstanton Velvet

CREAMS & NATURALS

The go-to colour pairing for those who prefer a more natural and neutral decor, creams and stoney tones are among some of our bestsellers. However, pared back doesn’t have not be plain. Choose from details like textured parchment with trim, rustic linen and traditionally woven tweed to add subtle interest to your lighting.

Parchment Candle Shade with Cream Trim, Candle Shade in Natural Isabelle Linen, Candle Shade in Limestone Herringbone Lovat Tweed

DEEP REDS

These colours bring heat and vibrancy to a room, complimenting our antiqued brass beautifully for anyone looking to make a statement with their lighting.

COUNTRY GREENS

Greens are so versatile. Bring depth with bold Teal Vlvets, a nod to nature with earthy Talisker Wool or the infallible choice of pastel for a modern country look.


Candle Shade in Country Green Honey Bees, Candle Shade in Teal Hunstanton Velvet, Candle Shade in Talisker Check Lovat Wool

BEAUTIFUL BLUES

Blue can induce a feeling of tranquility at home, allowing for more play when it comes to pattern. Painterly florals or gingham checks are a go-to for livening up a room, whilst softer hues that lean more towards grey are an option for those who prefer something more subtle.

Candle Shade in Navy Hunstanton Velvet, Candle Shade in Blue Herringbone Lovat Tweed, Candle Shade in Blue Longford Gingham

EARTHY PINKS & PURPLES

These fabrics are dusky and earthy: a sophisticted take on pretty pink. Grown up pinks are perfect for offsetting other colours like teals and greys whilst adding a blush of warmth to the room. Choose from three luxury pink tones in linen, velvet and wool.
