Summer Colour Stories: Brighten Your Home with Bold Lampshades for 2025
This summer, we’re celebrating bold colours, playful prints, and statement pieces that instantly uplift any room.
Here’s how to bring the warmth and vibrancy of the season indoors with our signature handmade lampshades — designed, printed, and crafted in the UK.
1. Embrace Joyful Colour Palettes
Summer is all about optimism, and our latest lampshade designs reflect just that. Think juicy corals, rich ochres, lush teal blues, and zingy citrus greens — shades that sing when the sunlight hits them.
Whether you're refreshing a tired corner or reimagining an entire space, a colourful lampshade can be the easiest way to inject personality without a full redecoration.
2. Go Maximalist with Pattern
Minimalism has had its moment — this summer is about more. At Shadow Bright, we champion joyful maximalism: layering vibrant colours with oversized motifs and unexpected pairings.
Try combining one of our Art Deco-inspired shades with geometric wallpaper, or place a vivid floral design against a moody painted wall for dramatic contrast.
3. Let the Light Work Its Magic
Our shades are designed to not only look stunning in daylight but to glow beautifully after dark. The interplay of light through our rich cottons and bold prints creates a warm, ambient glow that feels just right for relaxed summer evenings.
Pair a bright drum shade with a mid-century wooden base, or let a pendant drop low over a dining table for intimate alfresco-style dinners indoors.
4. Handmade in the UK
Every Shadow Bright shade is a labour of love — from the original illustrations, drawn in-house, to the careful colour testing and precise hand-finishing. We’re proud to design, print, and make everything here in the UK, ensuring our quality is as high as our colour game.
5. Easy Summer Styling Tips
-
Mix Old and New: Pair a vintage console with a modern graphic-print shade for instant character.
-
Layer with Texture: Combine linen cushions, jute rugs, and our printed shades for tactile depth.
-
Try Unexpected Spaces: Hallways, kitchens, or bedrooms — our lampshades make it easy to add flair wherever light is needed.
