Table and Floor Lamps
A table lampshade sits on a lamp base which is placed either on a table or sits on the floor if the base is tall. The light fitting sits at the bottom of the shade.
Pantone has announced “Classic Blue” as the Colour of the Year for 2020 saying:
“A timeless and enduring blue hue, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity.
Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of this thought-provoking colour highlight our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”
What do you think?
At LightenUp Handmade made we love all shades of blue and find many of our customers do too.
Blue seems to be a colour that can lift a neutral colour palette, calm a bright room or simply add a peacefulness to your home.
This pic features just a few of our beautiful lampshades that we think reflect perfectly the words used to describe PANTONE 19-5052 Classic Blue – elegant in their simplicity!
Farm life is busy and the days just never seem long enough. I’m sure many of you feel the same!
Therefore, in order to maintain some level of sanity (!) our custom order lampshades are available for limited periods only throughout the year. We will advise the opening dates over social media, or if you are subscriber to our newsletter, you will receive advance notice. It has been an extremely hard decision to make, we hope you understand.
The good news is that our On-line Shop is open 24/7! Here you can access a range of our beautiful lampshades and lamp bases throughout the year.
If you have a gift voucher (lucky you!) this can be used at check-out in our on-line shop, or you can redeem as a custom order when we re-open these.
Remember… sign up to our newsletter from our homepage if you would like advance notice of custom order opening periods, new products in the shop and little tips and tricks!
Thank you again for all your support! It’s fabulous to know that so many of you are happy to support our little bush business.

If you are unsure of the shade size you require, please click through to our blog post for some helpful information about how to choose the right size shade.
Drum lampshades are the most popular as the shape is contemporary and suits many different decor styles.
A drum shade is basically a cylinder that has the same diameter measurement across the top of the shade as the bottom.
Empire or “tapered shades” are more traditional. The diameter measurement of the top of the shade is smaller than the measurement at the bottom, creating a tapered effect.
We offer three different sized Empire shades.
