Lighting is fun!
It’s the jewelry of any room.
Get creative by dressing up your lamps with these 8 DIY lampshade ideas to customize your classic and beautiful lamps with color, texture and pizzazz.
Take this beautiful white glass table lamp for example. It’s the perfect basic that can wear a number of hats - or lampshades, to be exact.
Idea #1 – Chalkboard. I jazzed up an old drum shade with some chalkboard paint – welcome! See it at Eclectically Vintage.
Idea #2 – Sweater. Got an old sweater from Aunt Milly taking up space in your closet? Turn it into a cute lampshade like Unskinny Boppy did.
Idea #3 – Stenciled. Like any true Jersey girl, I love bling so I blinged out a lampshade with some gold gilding and a stencil. See it at Eclectically Vintage.
Idea #4 – Buttons. Scour your junk drawer for cast off buttons like At Home on the Bay did and whip up your own one-of-a-kind lampshade.
Idea #5 – Balsa Wood. Strips of balsa wood create the coolest lampshade from C.R.A.F.T.
Idea #6 – Ombre. Think girl scouts 101 and start wrapping a few of your favorite shades of yarn around a lampshade - from Vintage Revivals.
Idea #7 – Doilies. Doilies aren’t just for grandma’s coffee table anymore. A Beautiful Mess turned them into a vintage style lampshade that’s anything but stodgy.
Want instant gratification without having to DIY? There are tons of fabulous choices to dress up any lamp from embroidered to one of my favorites …
Idea #8 – Seagrass. Pop a Coastal style seagrass lampshade on any lamp and you’ll hear the ocean waves lapping at the shore … almost.
Which one of these 8 DIY lampshade ideas will you try to jazz up your lamps?
