What sets Tinker & Tallulah apart is their dedication to British craftsmanship and handcrafted bespoke lighting.
The makers at Tinker & Tallulah are passionate about helping hospitality professionals bring their ideas to life with bespoke designs that blend craftsmanship, elegance and personality. Each lampshade is handmade in Nottinghamshire, combining traditional techniques with modern design.
Decorative lighting in hospitality isn’t just about function — it’s about storytelling. The right lampshade can transform a room, creating cosy corners, dramatic dining spaces, or inviting lounge areas at the same time as enhancing the guest experience.
The Art of Illumination
Liam Millband, co-founder of Tinker & Tallulah said: “Hospitality professionals tell us our soft shades add warmth and character to their spaces, creating an atmosphere guests love to return to. In boutique hotels, our bespoke lighting has been used to create focal points in bedrooms, where soft, layered light encourages relaxation. In restaurants and bars, our unique designs set the tone, providing visual interest and a memorable guest experience.
“Our team understands that no two spaces are the same, and that’s why we pride ourselves on flexibility. From maximalist fringe shades for dramatic, moody spaces to understated hand-pleated designs that exude elegance, we can adapt our designs to suit your needs.”
Light Up Your Vision
Their collection ranges from classic empire and traditional Victorian shades through to completely custom designs. Every detail — size, shape, fabric, and trimmings — is meticulously planned so your lighting is as unique as the space it inhabits. They also handle private-label production for designers who sell shades as part of their own collections.
