where to get lovely lampshades?

Looking for lampshade shop recommendations please. DH has vetoed my faves as they are £80 a pop so needs to be cheaper than that. Looking for something with a lovely bright pattern that tones with our mid-blue ticking blinds. Not keen on the Orla K-type patterns but otherwise open-minded. Particularly like florals - big or Liberty-print-style.

Thanks for any pointers!

PS we need 2 40cm ones, which rules out some lovely ones I've found on Etsy Sad

Have you looked in TKMaxx/ Homesense? We got all of ours from there. Stock does vary from store to store, but worth having a look if you have one near you.

Thanks! They didn't seem to have any online so ruled them out. Homesense is a good idea.

Try eBay. I got a nice shade made in Laura Ashley fabric for the nursery for about £18 instead. There are actually lots of fabric brands on eBay.

Laura Ashley do made to measure shades with a wide choice of fabrics. They are pricey but not as pricey as £80!

Next has some lampshades, simple designs though.

At the moment, they have a £20 off when you spend £50 @ next online.

Just let me know if you want one then I can give you free voucher code.

Have you looked at Quirk?

Never heard of Quirk but will do, thanks

Wouldn't dare risk making my own! For aesthetic and fire safety reasons Grin
