The Green Lampshade Collection is inspired by the serenity of nature and the enduring beauty of handcrafted textiles. Green is a colour that complements almost every interior- grounding neutral rooms, softening bold palettes, and adding depth and interest to classic spaces.
Our green silk lampshades, many of which are made from vintage saris, glow beautifully when lit. The silk’s natural sheen brings the fabric to life, revealing intricate weaves and patterns as the light shines through. Each shade carries the history and artistry of the sari it was made from: a gentle reminder of the skill and creativity found in traditional Indian textiles.
For those who prefer something lighter and more textured, our block print cotton and hand-woven cotton lampshades are ideal. The block-printed designs, hand-stamped using carved wooden blocks, feature intricate florals and geometrics, each one slightly different from the next. The hand-woven cottons, often produced by women artisans, add an organic texture that pairs beautifully with the calm, natural greens in the collection.
The green ikat lampshade designs are another highlight: woven using an ancient resist-dye technique that produces soft, blurred patterns unique to the process. The result is a subtle play of light and colour that adds character without overwhelming the room.
Our linen lampshades offer yet another texture, with their understated weave and slightly matte finish. They are particularly lovely when paired with wooden or ceramic bases, bringing an effortless, natural elegance to a space.
Whether you’re after something richly decorative or quietly understated, this collection has a green lampshade to suit every mood and setting. From delicate silks to sturdy linens, each shade is made to diffuse light beautifully, creating warmth and atmosphere while adding a touch of handcrafted luxury to your home.
At Samarkand Design, we believe lighting should do more than illuminate; it should soften, uplift, and tell a story. Each of our green lampshades does exactly that: made with care, inspired by nature, and designed to bring a little calm beauty into your everyday life.
