Velvet lampshades in dark ochre, moss green and mocha, each blending the soft sheen of velvet with the natural texture of linen for a warm, diffused glow. The velvet brings depth of colour, while the linen lets light filter through gently, so the shades feel rich without darkening a room. Each design comes in four sizes, from small to extra large, to suit different lamps and spaces. For a lighter, natural look, see our linen lampshades, or browse all lampshades.
It depends on the light you want. Linen lets more light through, for a bright, soft glow. Velvet adds richer colour and a warmer, lower light. Our velvet lampshades combine the two, with velvet for colour and linen to let the light filter through.
Velvet lets through less light than plain linen, especially in deeper colours, so it creates a cosier, more atmospheric glow. For a main ceiling light, a lighter shade such as mocha works well, or pair a velvet shade with other lamps around the room.
Brush gently with a soft brush in the direction of the pile, or use a vacuum on a low setting with a brush attachment. Avoid using water on velvet, and always check the care instructions on each product.
