Custom lampshades for the trade
LuxAura is a lampshade manufacturer for interior designers, decorators and homeware retailers, making custom lampshades to order in your choice of fabric. Choose the frame geometry and construction before fabric allowance and the sample are confirmed.
Drum lampshades
Straight-sided drum shades. We record the upper and lower diameters, the height and the fitter position before a sample is made.
Tapered lampshades
Tapered shades, where the upper and lower diameters differ. Match the profile and the fitting to the intended lamp.
Pleated and gathered lampshades
Pleated or gathered shades need a different fabric allowance from a smooth laminated shade. We confirm the allowance with your fabric.
Other agreed shapes
Other frame geometry can be agreed before a sample is made. Tell us the shape and sizes, and we confirm what can be made.
The Frame and Fitter Come Before the Fabric
Record the upper and lower diameters, the shade height, the profile and the fitter position. Match the fitting to the intended lamp rather than assuming a universal connection.
Open the frame and fitter checklist
| Record before a sample is made | Detail |
|---|---|
| Upper diameter | The diameter at the top of the shade, in mm. |
| Lower diameter | The diameter at the bottom of the shade, in mm. |
| Height | The shade height, in mm. |
| Profile | Drum, tapered, or another agreed frame geometry. |
| Fitter | Spider/harp, ring or clip-on, and where it sits. |
| Lamp | The intended lamp. Match the fitting to it rather than assuming a universal connection. Identify bulb, lamp and clearance requirements with the lamp supplier. |
Pattern Placement and Lining Affect the Light
Review translucency, colour when lit, print placement and seam location. Approve the fabric with the chosen liner, and position the repeat and seam on a cutting plan.
Open the fabric and light review
| What we review | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Translucency | How much light the fabric lets through, with the chosen liner. |
| Colour when lit | A fabric can look different lit and unlit. |
| Print placement | Where the repeat falls on the shade. |
| Seam location | Where the seam sits, and how it looks when lit. |
| Fabric allowance | Pleated or gathered shades need a different allowance from a smooth laminated shade. |
| Trim widths and joins | The upper and lower trim widths, and how joins are finished. |
Trim and Finish
Confirm the upper and lower trim widths and how joins are finished on the sample.

Trade FAQ
Can I order a custom lampshade in one piece?
Yes. The minimum order is one piece. Trade terms and production timing are confirmed against your brief. Tell us the shape, sizes, fitter and fabric, and we confirm before a sample is made.
How long do custom lampshades take?
About 4 weeks from order with LuxAura fabric, and 4 to 6 weeks from the day we receive your fabric, confirmed with your quote. A sample is approved before production, and sample costs are quoted against the construction.
Where are the lampshades made?
LuxAura manages production to the specification confirmed with you before a sample is made. We take orders through our Sydney office, with Sydney support.
What shapes of lampshade can you make?
Drum and tapered shades, and other frame geometry agreed before a sample is made. Shades can be pleated, gathered or smooth laminated. Tell us the shape and sizes, and we confirm what can be made.
What do I need to tell you before a sample is made?
Record the upper and lower diameters, the shade height, the profile and the fitter position. Tell us the intended lamp, the fabric, the lining and the finish. We confirm the specification before a sample.
What fitting does a lampshade need?
It depends on the lamp. A fitting can be a spider or harp, a ring or a clip-on, and its location matters. Match the fitting to the intended lamp rather than assuming a universal connection.
Can I use my own fabric for a lampshade?
Yes. Use your own fabric or LuxAura sourcing. We review translucency, colour when lit, print placement and seam location with the chosen liner before a sample is made.
How do pattern and lining change a lampshade when it is lit?
Lining and fabric together decide translucency and colour when lit. Print placement and seam location also show. We approve the fabric with the chosen liner, and plan the repeat and seam on a cutting plan.
Do pleated lampshades need more fabric?
Pleated or gathered shades need a different fabric allowance from a smooth laminated shade. We confirm the allowance with your fabric before cutting.
Can I see a sample before production?
Yes. A sample is approved before production. Sample costs and delivery timing are quoted against the construction, so tell us the shape and fabric first.
Can you make a lampshade range under our own brand?
Yes. Agree the size family, labels, packed condition and carton protection before production. The minimum is one piece, and sample costs and timing are quoted against the construction.
Which bulb and clearance should I check?
Identify the bulb, lamp and clearance requirements with the lamp supplier. We match the shade and fitting to the intended lamp, and confirm the details with you before a sample is made.
Do you make custom lampshades for the trade?
Yes. We make custom lampshades to order for designers and retailers, with a one-piece minimum.
Specifications, lead times and warranty terms are confirmed for each order in writing. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
