Our Story

Cotterell & Co is a family-run lighting and interiors business with roots in lampshade making that stretch back over 70 years.

What began in Glasgow as a specialist lighting company has grown into two inspiring showrooms in Glasgow and Edinburgh, along with our online store — all built around one simple idea:

We help customers create rooms that feel warm, balanced and personal — through carefully chosen lighting, handmade lampshades, home accessories and honest advice from people who know what works.

Whether you're choosing one table lamp or planning an entire house, we're here to help.

Today we continue that tradition through our own collections of handmade and bespoke lampshades, designed in-house and made with care using beautiful fabrics, textures and finishes.

Alongside these, we offer exclusive lighting collections, statement pieces, table lamps, floor lamps and carefully chosen interiors finds you won't see everywhere else.

That's why we bring together lighting, cushions, wall art and decorative pieces to help you create a home with personality — not a showroom look copied from everyone else.

Our website is a curated edit of what we offer, but our Glasgow and Edinburgh showrooms are where you can explore a much wider range, see pieces in person, compare options, browse fabrics, and get expert help from our experienced team.

We can also help with:

We've always believed homes should feel individual, welcoming and full of character — and lighting plays a huge part in that.

Thank you for supporting an independent business and letting us be part of your homes since 1952. We'd love to welcome you online or in-store.
