The correct and thoughtful interior of the room includes not only convenient and comfortable furniture, but also has suitable lighting fixtures. For each type of room, for any corner of the room, lighting should be selected individually, based on their functionality, design and type of outgoing light. In the last century, lampshade for fixtures began to be popular.
This is a kind of muffler of light, which can easily emphasize the general concept in interior design, or be an element of the artistic decoration of the room. But what can be a lampshade? Where is it widely used?
Cozy atmosphere through lighting
Subdued light, such as a night light, creates a feeling of coziness and comfort. But not every room needs to create a calm atmosphere for sleeping. There are rooms in which, on the contrary, it is necessary to stimulate actions with the help of light, but at the same time not to “dazzle” it with direct streams of light, and for such cases it is worth choosing a suitable lampshade for lamps. By themselves, these lighting designs have a lot of varieties: desktop, floor, pendant, ceiling, recessed and so on.
Also, the place of use and materials differ from each other fixtures. Lampshades are ceiling and tabletop made of fabric, metal, wood, glass, polyethylene and even acrylic paints. Since the specifics of such devices is precisely in the muffled light and in the original design, it is worth considering what options for such decorative elements are made by hand.
Lamp design
Specialists in decoupage and interior design claim that even from the most mundane things you can make an original lighting device. So, if several old graters for shredding vegetables were littered in the pantry, and there is a wooden plank, then we can assume that the lampshade for the lamps is ready. To make an original element of decor for the kitchen, you need to take a wooden plank and several graters for vegetables. Then you need to drill the required number of holes for the wire in the bar and fix the bullet cartridges on their bases. A grater is attached on top of the cartridge and hole (either by the handle, or by corners and small screws). It is better to refuse glue in this case. Once all the graters are in place, and this original lighting fixture is suspended or fixed in the right place, you can screw in the bulbs. A strap that holds up to 5 graters will look very stylish. Light will be scattered smoothly due to the large number of holes on the graters.
Do it yourself
You can come up with another lampshade for fixtures, the same original and design.
For example, if a bulb screwed into a cartridge weighs on the ceiling, it is possible to diffuse such a direct stream of light in another original way - with the help of threads and yarn. To do this, first an ordinary ball is inflated, preferably a spherical shape, and then yarn must be wound in a chaotic order over the ball. To prevent the threads from spreading, the yarn should be impregnated with glue, then very durable lamps are obtained. Ceiling lampshades of this kind will look advantageous, as they will create a fancy pattern from shadows. Continuing to make the lamp, you should wrap the ball with rope, yarn, threads and dry the resulting object. When the shape of the frame is strong, you need to remove the ball, blowing air out of it and pulling it through the cracks between the threads.
After this, a very strong spherical lampshade is obtained, which can easily be fixed to the ceiling so that the bulb is inside. Soft light and interesting patterns on the walls and ceiling will create a special, playful atmosphere.
Fabric as the main element of the lampshade decor
The most popular lighting elements today are lamps with a lampshade made of fabric. Why? Because it is this material that allows you to scatter light evenly and fill the room with specific light with a color spectrum. For example, if the selected material is white, then the lighting in the room will become colder but more saturated. Choosing a yellow fabric, you can get very warm colors.
