Our lampshades are created to celebrate craftsmanship, texture, and light. Whether it’s the delicate sheen of silk, the intricate lines of a block print, or the understated weave of linen, each shade is designed to bring warmth and individuality to your home. We work with artisans and small workshops across India, Portugal, and the UK, ensuring every piece carries both beauty and integrity.

The collection includes vintage lampshades and handcrafted designs made from an array of beautiful materials: vintage sari silk, block print cotton, hand-woven cotton, paper, and linen. Many are available in a variety of finishes - gathered, pleated, or scalloped - allowing you to choose the look that best complements your interior style.

Our lampshades come in sizes ranging from 10 cm to 60 cm. Fittings are available in E27, Duplex, Clip-on, and Pendant styles, making them suitable for almost any base or ceiling light.

Colour has always been at the heart of what we do. You’ll find shades in calming neutrals, rich greens, soft pinks, deep blues, and warm yellows, among others. From subtle and serene to bold and expressive, our lampshades are designed to complement every palette and personality.

Each of our decorative lampshades is more than a functional object, it’s a story in fabric form. The vintage sari silk lampshades are one-of-a-kind creations, repurposing traditional Indian textiles into something entirely new, while the block print cotton and hand-woven shades celebrate ancient textile traditions kept alive by skilled craftspeople.

Every detail is considered, from the way light filters through the fabric to the perfect gathering of pleats at the frame. These are pieces made to be treasured: expressive, individual, and full of character.

Whether your home is contemporary or classic, bold or understated, our handmade lampshades will bring warmth, personality, and a sense of story to your space. They reflect the essence of Samarkand Design - an appreciation for artistry, a love of travel, and a commitment to creating beautiful, ethically made homewares that feel as good as they look.
