The Coolest Lampshade Brands To Transform A Room

While a palm print wallpaper or inky velvet sofa can make a real statement, getting your lighting right is the real key to transforming a room. The quickest and most affordable way to do so is with some well-chosen lamps and of late, there’s a wealth of cool brands doing them. From Pandora Sykes’ favourite, Matilda Goad, to SL’s long-loved Pooky designs, here are the six lampshade brands you need to know right now.

Save To My Favourites

Pooky

Rated by countless London interior designers and founded by Rohan Blacker (the brains behind sofa.com), Pooky know what they’re doing when it comes to adding flair to homes. Specialising in offbeat prints and design-led stands you can mix and match – we love their artichoke style – these are more than just practical pieces, they’re real conversation makers.

Everyone from Pandora Sykes to Laura Jackson (both known for their flair for fashion and interiors) have posted about the London-based designer.
