Welcome to Melanie Lewis Home - here you will find a collection of my hand painted lampshades. In January 2025 I will also be launching my first fabric design, available to purchase by the metre.
I'm Melanie Lewis, the creative mind behind Melanie Lewis Home, a venture that blossomed from a journey of rediscovery and passion for artistic expression.
From Numbers to Colours: A Creative Journey
Over two decades ago, I traded in my career in accountancy for the beautiful chaos of motherhood. Little did I know that this shift would lead me down a creative pathway, fueling my passion for printmaking and painting. The artistic endeavour that started as a personal exploration eventually found its way overseas, with my artwork finding homes around the world, thanks to the wonderful reach of social media.
Brushing Life onto Lampshades
In 2017, I embarked on a new artistic adventure, painting directly onto lampshades. What began as a desire to craft unique homewares for my own space soon evolved into a small business venture. The challenges of the COVID era prompted me to channel my creativity into creating lampshades for others, showcasing my work both in the charming Nina & Co in Ludlow and through the virtual realm of Instagram.
Craftsmanship at Its Core - my hand painted lampshades
At Melanie Lewis Home, I take pride in crafting each lampshade as a unique piece of art. Carefully selecting quality lampshades as my canvas, I ensure that every stroke is imbued with passion and dedication. The result is a collection of lampshades designed to be more than mere functional objects—they are visual statements and conversation starters, enhancing the character of any space.
Inspired by Nature and Arts: My Aesthetic
My creative style draws inspiration from a lifelong love affair with the Arts and Crafts Movement, especially the timeless designs of William Morris. Embracing the beauty of the English Country garden and the allure of the outdoors, each Melanie Lewis Home creation reflects a harmonious blend of nature's wonders and artistic vision.
A Marriage of Colour and Pattern
Above all, my heart beats for colour and pattern. Every Melanie Lewis Home piece of work is a celebration of vibrant hues and captivating patterns, injecting life and personality into your living spaces.
Thank you for joining me on this colourful journey. Explore Melanie Lewis Home, where art meets illumination, and let your space come alive with the warmth and character of hand-painted lampshades and original artwork.
