A great lamp and lampshade can really help to tie a room together!
Lamps are the perfect room accessories to help add interest, texture, color, and of course light to our most personal home spaces.
They also can be a way to show off our own unique personalities. Think about what ways you could customize your lampshade with objects and materials you may already have on hand at home.
Take a mental note of your tools and craft supplies including unique materials you may have at home such as textiles: Burlap, leftover scrap fabric, ribbon, and notions, and even things like different types of paper (think vintage ephemera, vintage sewing patterns, even family photos,) all can be used as materials.
In need of a little bit more inspiration? Take a look at these unique lamp shade creations and you'll see what I mean!
