I love hearing what my students have to say. From picking out beautiful fabrics to mastering rolling the rings and the finishing steps, our workshops are all about taking a little creative break, sharing laughs, and leaving with a stunning, professional lampshade you’re proud to display at home (or gift to someone special!).

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your craft, everyone is welcome to my workshops! Spaces for our upcoming sessions are filling up—come join us for a wonderfully creative morning or afternoon.

Behind the Scenes: Tackling My Biggest Lampshade Yet! 🌸

Let's be honest, making a statement piece like this is never a neat and tidy process—just take a look at that kitchen table, I mean studio table! covered in spray bottles, glue, and tools!! 😂

This striking patterned beauty is officially my largest tablelamp to date, featuring a 40cm diameter top shade paired with a matching 20 cm base, reaching a height of 55cm.

One of the most satisfying (and definitely most meticulous!) parts of the job was getting the pattern matching just right across the fabric so the beautiful geometric design flows seamlessly all the way around.

It might look like total chaos while you're in the midst of making it, but watching it come to life and finally seeing it styled in its new home (mine!) makes every single messy step (a few dinners eaten on the sofa!) completely worth it! 😍

Fabric: block printed cotton from India, from .deco

From bland to blooming—a hidden floral surprise beneath a classic neutral linen. 🌸

​This piece took a bit of work to bring back to life: stripping down the tired old cover, carefully sanding down the original frame, and creating a completely custom pattern from scratch to get the double-sided linen- and floral lining just right.
Finished off with a classic black fringe to tie it all together! 🖤

​Sometimes the quietest pieces on the outside hold the most beautiful details within...

Bring along a piece of fabric (or wallpaper) you love, and we’ll provide all the professional materials, step-by-step instruction, plenty of tea/coffee, and yummy cake! 🍰☕

I know not everyone can look at a blank room or a messy sketch and "see" the finished space—and honestly, why should you? That’s my job! 🖊️ ✨

I really like using AI as a "visual translator." It helps me take my early, sketched ideas and turn them into something you can better understand. It’s the perfect way to test out "what ifs"—like how a certain window treatment frames the view, or how the wall-hung storage fit into the room.

But here’s the thing: while the tech is amazing for a showing an rendered presentation, it doesn't replace the actual design work! It doesn't understand how the Algarve sun moves through an apartment, the flow of a home, or the personality of the persons living there.

That part still starts with a pen, a tape measure, and a lot of heart. ❤️

Swipe to see the evolution:
1️⃣ The refined vision
2️⃣ Working out structural details
3️⃣ The behind-the-scenes process
4️⃣ The original "brain dump" sketch
5️⃣ The blank canvas we're starting with

I’m curious—how do you feel about designers using AI to help tell the story of a space? Does it help you "see" it better, or do you prefer the old-school sketches? Does AI scare you? Let me know! 👇

When my tile selection feels like choosing between delicious ice cream flavours! 🍨🍦🍧

I'm currently working on my own apartment here in the Algarve, and honestly, picking these tiles was the best part of my day!

I might be known for my handmade lampshades, but many of you know that I've always loved the bigger picture of interior design too. Seeing this gelato palette of earthy tones come together for my kitchen reminds me why I love what I do 💕

​I can't wait to show you how these delicious "ingredients" will turn into a real home!

A little Spring update (and a new name!) 🌿

Happy Easter, everyone! 🐣🐰🌷

It’s that time of year when everything feels a bit fresher and brighter, and I’ve decided to do a little "Spring cleaning" of my own. I have some exciting news to share about a fresh start for my business!

🌸 First things first: I’m changing my name!
Moving forward, Atelier Cecilia Martin is officially becoming Duntan Design.

"Duntan" is a nickname that’s always been close to my heart, and honestly, it just feels more like "me". It also helps clear up any confusion with the lovely Atelier CM just down the road from me (I only recently found out!) - I want to make sure there are no mistaken identities!

🌼 A new home for my lampshades!
I’m also so happy to announce a new partnership with the wonderful team at Urban Fabric Studio. From now on, you’ll find my bespoke lampshades exclusively at their studio. It’s a perfect match of a "designer’s eye" and a "maker’s hand," and I couldn't be more excited to collaborate with such talented people!

💮 What’s next?
You’ll see my new tagline is Spaces. Styling. Studio. - and here’s exactly what that means for you:

Spaces: This is the "big picture" side of things. I’m taking on more structural projects, like kitchen and bathroom refreshes or full-home transformations from the ground up.

Styling: Whether you need professional home staging to get a house ready for market, or just need a hand with interior curation to make your current home shine, I’m here to help you pull it all together.

Studio: This is the creative heart of the business. It’s where I’m busy crafting one-of-a-kind bespoke lampshades and getting stuck into the "hands-on" transformations—from painting walls and kitchens to giving old furniture a whole new life.

Thank you all for the support so far—it means the world! I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing Easter weekend full of sunshine and chocolate!

See you soon,

Cecilia
