Meet Alice Palmer, Alice Palmer & Co, London

Can you tell us more about the history behind your lampshades? 
My idea started very organically, basically because I couldn’t find the perfect lamp shade for my home. There seemed to be a big gap in the market between extravagant, ornate, and vastly expensive lampshades and generic, manufactured shades with just not quite the right fabric. 
I’ve always loved the softer light a loose lampshade cover brings to a room, so I gave it a go and started making them myself.  

How would you describe them in one word? 
Timeless.

Do you have a favourite one? 
I don’t have a favourite but I always love making up a lampshade with a new fabric and seeing how it turns out.

What’s the best way to style your lampshades at home?
Everywhere and anywhere! Mismatched, paired, big, and small! 

How would you describe your style in interiors? 
A mismatch of modern countryside, bohemian, colonial, arts & craft with lots of greens and warm hues. As many fabrics, patterns, and textures as possible. My home is filled with vintage pieces, things I have collected from my travels, bespoke designed furniture, and lots of lampshades!
