Cozy Autumn Vibes: Decorating with Handmade Lampshades

Cozy Autumn Vibes: Decorating with Handmade Lampshades

Autumn is the season of warm colors, soft textures, and cozy evenings at home. It’s the time when we want our spaces to feel inviting, comforting, and full of character. Handmade lampshades—whether cotton, linen, or velvet—are a simple yet powerful way to bring that autumn magic indoors.

1. Warm Up with Earthy Tones

Switch your summer shades for warmer colors. Linen lampshades in beige, terracotta, or warm grey create a natural, soothing glow that pairs beautifully with autumn décor. Add pumpkins, dried leaves, and wooden accents for a complete seasonal look.

2. Velvet for Luxury Nights

As the evenings get longer, velvet lampshades add a touch of luxury to your living room or dining area. Rich jewel tones like burgundy, emerald, or deep navy set the mood for intimate dinners and cozy gatherings. A conical velvet shade above the dining table instantly transforms the space into something special.

3. Cotton for Everyday Comfort

Don’t underestimate the charm of cotton. A handmade cotton lampshade in warm neutrals softens the light in your reading nook or bedroom, creating the perfect retreat for those chilly evenings with a blanket and a book.

4. Mix Fabrics for Layered Style

Autumn is all about layering—why not do the same with your lighting? Combine different fabrics in one room: a linen shade on a side table, a velvet one for the main lamp, and a cotton shade in the corner. The mix adds depth and makes the space feel more personal.


Pair your Paralumi Creations handmade lampshades with scented candles, textured throws, and seasonal decorations. Together, they create a warm, inviting space where autumn can be fully enjoyed—one soft glow at a time.
