We're taking the stress out of C.O.M. Shades. Send us any fabric you love, and we will cut, stretch, and sew it into a shade perfectly proportioned to any fixture in the Matt Alford Studio collection.
We're taking the stress out of Customer's Own Material (C.O.M.) lampshades. Place your order, send us the fabric, and we will take it from there.
Once you order, we’ll send sidemark and shipping instructions so your fabric comes straight to our workroom. Fabric requirements and additional details are [here].
• Add to cart and check out as usual. Your order confirmation page will walk you through how to sidemark and ship your fabric to us.
• We'll confirm once your fabric arrives. Production starts as soon as we've received it, so the sooner it's sent, the sooner we can begin.
• Shades ship with the rest of your order, so there's no separate delivery to track.
• Hardback shades get a hand-tucked rolled edge with no visible trim. Gathered shades get a ½" trim made from the same fabric.
• All shades come with standard white lining.
• Custom shade shapes aren't available yet. We're currently building shades to our standard designs only.

Fabrics that work well for hardbacks and gathered shades include linens, cotton, blends, polyester, silks or silk like fabrics. Embroidered fabrics are only suitable to hardback shades, and thick upholstery fabric should be avoided altogether.
