Sir Paul Smith with a Tinker & Tallulah lampshade on his head

✨The Limelight: Issue #1

February 19, 2025

2025 has started strong with rave reviews for our latest collection, interiorsinspo aplenty and an actual British icon modelling one of our custom-made shades.

Here's what's been lighting us up lately.

NEW IN

Obsessed with stripes

Stripes are having a major moment in interior design right now, and our new Stripe Collection has already won a lot of hearts.

REAL HOMES

@beetrootandblack

We're avid followers of Rachael Wilshaw's restoration of their Georgian family home. How perfect do our custom white velvet shades look in her show-stopping entrance hall?

T&T SPOTTED

A style icon wears our shade

What a pinch-us moment to receive a thank-you note and a photo of Sir Paul Smith himself – fashion icon and fellow flyer of the Nottinghamshire flag – showing off a bespoke lampshade we made from one of his shirts!

WHAT'S TRENDING?

We're in our pink era

Lovely table lampshade to match a floor lampshade I’d already asked T&T to make for me. Fantastic quality and materials +++++++

I just could decide on one, so I ordered 2 and I love them so much, thank you 😍

The Fauve Lampshade

Well what can I say other than WoWzers. Rachael managed to get inside my head and bring my ideas to life and I am in love. She is everything and more that I wanted and now want one in every room .... If you've been thinking about it, do it, you will not be disappointed, you'll get the bug.

Not sure where to start as everything has been incredible. I stumbled upon their Instagram page by scrolling through reels and have been following them for about 5 months prior to making the decision that this is where I wanted to order our pendant shades from. And I am so glad I did. I reached out and Rachel helped me decide on the perfect shade. I was skeptical due to the fact that I live in the US and they are in UK. Everything however was smooth and simple. Our shades arrived as stated 4 weeks from order date and I am obsessed! They were the missing piece that our kitchen needed.

Beautiful shades and amazing service! It does not feel like you are ordering from an on-line company as Rachael is so lovely and could not be more helpful in making sure that your order is personal and perfect. I have ordered 5 shades now and each one is gorgeous and beautifully swishy! 😍

Wonderful company to deal with as ever.
Rach is so helpful and once decided on shade they arrived so quickly. Packaged beautifully.
Thank you so much!

The Tigress Fringed Lampshade

I received a very personal and highly professional service from Rachel at Tinker & Tallulah. I bought a small lampshade but needed a fitting for a vintage American style lamp, which I was a little worried about. They not only replied to my emails very promptly but also put my mind at ease that I would get the right fitting. The lampshade arrived beautifully made, I’d say much better quality than the ones you buy off the shelf. It was a present to myself and I love it.

Just brilliant! So pleased with my swishy lampshade!

The Emmy Fringed Lampshade - golden fringe

We found these amazing talented people Racheal & Liam by chance. Searching for unique products for our huge home project in the hope we could get some great things to give it some unique touches. So pleased we got in touch. Didn’t know where to start…. Rachael guided us to size, colours fabrics and finishing touches with the resulting fabulous shades for our now lovely home. We definitely got the bug and have 2 ceiling shades and 4 lamp shades all made with love from Tinker & Tallulah. The results are amazing very eye catching pieces in the most beautiful fabrics. Our home would not be the same without these finishing touches so thank you so much for the communication, care and attention to detail you put into your work, you are fabulous!

Party Hats - Tony Green Collection

I can not express my gratitude for Tinker & Tallulah, or perhaps more accurately Racheal and Liam! I had a very tall order that comprised of extraordinarily tight deadlines and custom materials and not once was I met with skepticism as to whether we could see my dream shades through to fruition - in other words, it was a "can easily do" mentality from start to finish, and as above... I just CAN'T express my sincerest gratitude for Tinker & Tallulah. My shades have since landed in Australia and I am completely besotted by them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! A million times thank you :D

Imogen R

Absolutely beautiful item, such a lovely friendly family company who went above and beyond to make me feel a valued customer. I would definitely recommend their products

Sarah G

Absolutely wonderful care and attention to detail. Quick and impressive turnaround. My 6 lampshades are magnificent. Can’t thank them enough.
