20cm x 18cm Custom Printed Fabric for Lampshades | Linen, Satin, Velvet & Polytextile
Create a truly individual lampshade with your own design, artwork or photography printed onto your choice of high-quality fabric. Our custom printed lampshade fabric is available in Linen, Satin, Velvet and Polytextile, giving you a choice of textures and finishes to suit your interior and creative project.
Using professional dye sublimation textile printing, we produce vibrant, detailed and long-lasting prints that are ideal for making personalised lampshades. The fabrics also work beautifully for creating matching cushions and soft furnishings, allowing you to coordinate your interior décor.
Choose Your Fabric
Linen Fabric
A beautifully textured fabric with a soft feel and natural-looking character. Its varied fibre structure and subtle slubs give printed designs an attractive, tactile finish, making it an excellent choice for contemporary and traditional lampshades.
Satin Fabric
Luxurious, silky and wonderfully smooth. Satin gives colours and designs a vibrant, refined appearance and is ideal when you want your custom printed lampshade to have an elegant finish.
Velvet Fabric
Soft, sumptuous and incredibly versatile. Velvet adds depth and richness to printed designs and is equally suited to lampshades, cushions, fashion and other interior furnishing projects.
Polytextile Fabric
A lightweight fabric with a simple plain-weave texture. Easy to handle and work with, Polytextile is a practical choice for lampshade making while still producing bright, impactful printed designs.
Perfect for Matching Cushions
Why stop at the lampshade? Our printable textile fabrics can also be used to create coordinating cushions and other soft furnishings, helping you carry the same artwork, pattern or colour scheme throughout your room.
How We Print Your Fabric
We use the dye sublimation transfer printing process to produce vibrant, high-quality textile prints.
Your artwork is first printed onto specialist transfer paper. It is then passed through a calendar heat press, where the design is transferred permanently into the fabric.
This process produces bright colours, sharp detail and impactful graphics, making it ideal for custom lampshades, cushions, interior décor and a wide range of creative textile applications.
