String lamp shades are intricately created with rows of luxurious silk string, woven in rows to cover a range of shapes. When illuminated, they allow a warm glow to emit between the strands; when switched off, they provide a unique focal point on any light fitting. A classic look, string lamp shades are once again back in fashion and popular due to their timeless style.
Whether drum, coolie, rectangular or square, our luxurious collection of string lamp shades can be used in any room. Read our latest blog here to discover how you can style them in your own home.
Coolie and Empire String Lamp Shades
Combining contemporary style with a twist, our tapered coolie and empire string lamp shade designs are available in luxe silk string with a soft-backed lining. Being soft-lined allows a little more light to glow through giving a semi-transparent effect, which silhouettes the lines created by the strings in these shades. Combine these shades with geometric bases to emphasize the clean lines.

Rectangular or Square String Lamp Shades
A rectangular or square shade pairs perfectly with the lines created by a string lamp shade, and can suit either tall floor lamps or table lamps. Our collection of square string lamp shades feature cut corners for a more angular look or simple four-pointed rectangular shapes for simplicity. All of our string shades are available in monochromatic black or white and created with luxurious real silk string.
Drum Silk String Lamp Shades
Ever popular, drum lamp shades are one of the most versatile designs available. Suitable for floor, table or ceiling lights, these cylindrical shades are never out of style. Combining contemporary shades with an intricate surface pattern, our collection of string drum lamp shades promises to elevate any interior space with beautiful silk string exteriors and a soft lined interior for generous amounts of illumination. Choose from four key colors in our drum shades and two main fabric types: either luxurious silk string or cord string – a slightly thicker alternative for a more dramatic look.
