About
Hey, we’re Rach and Liam, a husband-and-wife team from Nottinghamshire with a penchant for seriously swishy lampshades!
The Tinker & Tallulah story began in 2021, when we were renovating our home. We’d seen a photo in The Sunday Times of Sir Frank’s Bar at Beaverbrook Hotel and became obsessed – it’s the epitome of the Art Deco elegance and old-world opulence we both love.
In particular, we were lusting after the super-swishy fringed lampshades. When we couldn’t find them at an affordable price, we decided to make them ourselves.
What started out as a DIY dabble quickly became a hobby, then a passion, and now a whole business dedicated to lampshades that fill homes and hearts with joy.
But we're still a small, family brand (our adorable boys, Arthur and Harry, are very much part of the team!) and every Tinker & Tallulah lampshade is designed and made by us, by hand in Nottinghamshire, England. Our new studio at Thorseby Park opens in Autumn '23 and we can’t wait for you to visit for a cuppa or a cocktail!
The Roaring Twenties are at the heart of our inspiration. Just think of the glitz, glamour & shenanigans of The Great Gatsby.
Whether your project is for your business or your home, whether you’re buying from our shop or briefing us on a bespoke order, we’ll make your wildest lampshade dreams come true. If you like what you hear, we think you’ll love our collection of fringed, pleated and patterned lampshades – go take a peek!

Award-winning interiors blogger and designer Hayley Stuart joins forces with luxury lampshade brand Tinker & Tallulah
The luxury lampshade brand Tinker & Tallulah has launched a collaboration with British designer and interiors influencer Hayley Stuart.
The Tinker & Tallulah x Hayley Stuart collection features three statement lampshades: Clementine, Ida and Winnie. Each design fuses the Art Deco elegance that Tinker & Tallulah are renowned for with Hayley’s travel-inspired aesthetic and, in particular, her passion for the sumptuous colours and geometric patterns of authentic Moroccan interiors.
The lampshades are handmade to order in Tinker & Tallulah’s Nottinghamshire studio using luxurious velvets designed exclusively for the collection by Hayley. Each one is finished with Tinker & Tallulah’s signature swishy tassels.
Racheal Millband, co-founder of Tinker & Tallulah, said: “We’ve absolutely loved joining forces with the DIY interiors queen that is Hayley Stuart! We’re extremely proud of the collection and its celebration of colour, culture and craftsmanship.”
Hayley added: “I’ve put my heart and soul into designing the fabrics for these lampshades, as well as choosing the shapes and fringing. The craftsmanship and quality from Tinker & Tallulah is on another level and I couldn’t be happier with the end result!”
The lampshades are suitable for both lamps and ceiling pendants and come in the following sizes: small (14”), medium (16”), large (18”) and extra large (22”). They’re available to order now at tinkerandtallulah.co.uk, with prices from £245.

New collaboration sees lampshades become a piece of art - Tony Green x Tinker & Tallulah
Fashion illustrator, Tony Green, and traditional lampshade makers, Tinker & Tallulah, have launched a collaboration which celebrates the best of British artisans.
The collection features two handmade fringed lampshades - guaranteed to transform a forgotten corner in the home into a work of art.
Party Hats and Kings & Queens are two illustrations which have been printed in the UK onto luxury velvet. Each lampshade is handcrafted by sewing and stretching the velvet over the frame and decorated with braid and fringing.
Racheal Millband, Co-Founder of Tinker & Tallulah based in Nottinghamshire said: “We’re putting a contemporary twist onto a traditional craft and we couldn’t be more excited to announce our collaboration with Tony Green.
“Our fringed lampshades are heirlooms to be enjoyed by generations to come. We are proud to shine a light on British artisans to celebrate the colour and creativity they bring into the world”.
Tony Green added: “It’s fabulous to work with Tinker & Tallulah. We wanted to create something fun, spontaneous and classic. Mixing contemporary print on a vintage base has created something instantly current and stylish.”
The lampshades are priced at £325 and custom designs are available on request. All orders are handmade to order and the lead time is 2-3 weeks.
