Behind the Scenes - The Handmade Story of homeway living Lampshades

Lighting is one of the simplest ways to change how a home feels but at homeway living, we believe it should also tell a story.

Every lampshade in our collection is hand-crafted by us in our Canadian studio, designed to bring warmth, artistry, and individuality into modern homes. No mass production, no shortcuts just the patience and love that true craftsmanship requires.

 

Where Every Design Begins

Each design starts with an idea a feeling, a texture, or sometimes a single color that inspires us.

We draw from nature, architecture, travel, and timeless art movements to create distinctive patterns and moods. Some lampshades have vintage flair, others celebrate minimal modern elegance, but all are united by thoughtful design and fine details.

 

You’ll often find us surrounded by fabric swatches, sketches, and sample frames, testing how light interacts with different weaves and tones. That process helps us make sure each shade diffuses light softly and beautifully once lit.

 

Selecting the Perfect Fabric

The soul of every shade is its fabric. We hand-pick materials that feel luxurious yet natural often linen, cotton, or textured blends that complement any interior style.

 

Before we begin cutting, every fabric is inspected and aligned for pattern placement. It’s a slow, careful process that ensures consistency and flow across our designs whether it’s a Red Eucalyptus Golden, Green Pheasant, or Vintage Dramatic Floral shade.

 

Handmade Assembly - Precision Meets Patience

Every lampshade is cut, rolled, and assembled by hand in our studio.

We carefully bond the chosen fabric to the inner lining, roll the edges with precision, and align seams perfectly. Our golden and champagne linings are also applied manually creating that beautiful glow our customers instantly recognize.

It’s a craft that requires steady hands and sharp eyes. No two shades are the same each carry subtle, human details that make it truly unique.

 

The Final Touch - Designed for Your Home

Once complete, every lampshade is tested for fit and finish before it leaves our table.

We visualize how it will look in a cozy living room corner, beside a reading chair, or glowing warmly in a bedroom.

Each piece we send out carries a part of our story a handmade creation designed to make your home feel personal, layered, and timeless.

 

Why Handmade Matters

In a world of machine-made décor, handmade work stands apart.

When you choose a homeway living lampshade, you’re choosing a piece of design made with intention from the first sketch to the final roll of the edge. You’re supporting small-batch creativity, thoughtful design, and the slow beauty of craft.
