Hi, I’m Julie Gardner, a textile designer and lampshade maker, living in Maidenhead, Berkshire with my lovely husband, two crazy boys and a sleepy black cat called Chloe. I have trained in Interior Design and love nothing more than sourcing fabrics and accessories to complement a scheme (even better, to make a lampshade or two with!)

gilhoolie has evolved from my love of sewing, drawing and makin

g lampshades from beautiful, colourful fabrics, some screen-printed by me, others just chosen because they caught my eye. Choose from my gilhoolie fabric, provide your own or let me help you source the right one to go with your interior. Then I’ll make you a lovely lampshade that you can’t buy in the shops – from stunningly simple drum lampshades to more traditional, empire handstitched lampshades.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Julie Gardner, a bespoke lampshade maker, living in Maidenhead, Berkshire with my lovely husband, two crazy boys and a cute miniature schnauzer called Arthur. I have trained in Interior Design and love nothing more than sourcing fabrics and accessories to complement a scheme (even better, to make a lampshade or two with!) We offer a bespoke lampshade design service to clients and Interior Designers looking for the perfect lampshade for their home.

Each of our lampshades is lovingly hand-made using your own fabric or one chosen to match a scheme. (If you need help choosing fabric just get in touch and we can help source the right one for a small charge). Since our lampshades are all bespoke, you can also choose the size of your lampshade, from a diameter of 15cm to 100cm.

We can make all sorts of shape lampshades; from the standard straight and tapered empire drum to rectangular, oval or square. Various linings are available too – embossed gold, copper, silver and champagne, or you can choose to line the lampshade with fabric. Diffusers can be supplied for ceiling shades if needed.

Do you own a lampshade you love the shape and size of but the outer fabric is worn or faded or not your taste any more? Or a lampshade with a non-standard fitting? No problem – we can recover it for you, adding new fabric to the existing frame and giving it a new lease of life. Just send us the dimensions along with a photo of the existing lampshade and we’ll advise you and send a quote.
