Custom Lighting Solutions

Since our beginning more than 80 years ago, Palette Studios has been the place in the Midwest to have custom lamps and light lampshades made. Converting vases and decorative objects into lamps is our forte. Choosing the perfect lampshade is something we do better than anybody. Whether you need a table or floor lamp, chandelier or wall light, we can custom make absolutely anything. We can even reproduce almost any kind of lamp or light fixture you may see somewhere else, just ask.

A little hardware and the perfect lampshade turned this hand-painted tole jewelry box into a lamp fit for any home.

 

This pitcher would probably look out of place sitting around your house, but add a leather-look lampshade and you've got the perfect lamp for a kitchen or family room.

 

The right stand and lampshade makes this simple floral vase into a fabulous lamp.

 

An old wicker dress form, along with a new ladies sun hat, made a fun and different lamp for a family room or covered porch. We really enjoyed this project, and our customer was thrilled.

 

This wrought iron light fixture was designed and built specifically for our client's kitchen needs. Combining soft, candle-like lights with intense halogen down-lighting, this fixture provided exactly what the customer wanted.

 

Turning a wine or champagne bottle into a lamp is a very popular way to commemorate an event. These two bottles were wired as gifts, what a great idea.


     Our years in business affords us the ability to offer restoration and repair of any lighting related item. From simple rewiring to complete reconstruction, we do it all.

     Bringing an old lamp back to life and adding the perfect lampshade can often be much more affordable than buying new.

     Take a second look before you throw away an old lamp and head out to the nearest retailer to replace it. By far, we restore more old lamps than we make new ones.

This 50 year-old crystal chandelier was left in someone's basement for dead. For a small percentage of what a new chandelier would cost, it was brought back to life.

What a difference. A house fire destroyed the finish on this old Stiffel table lamp. Our customer was amazed to know that what was garbage could be made into a classic painted lamp.
