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!
