Home lighting is an integral part of every home decor. Be it any kind of lights, table lamps, hanging shades, traditional chandeliers, etc. the lighting plays an important part in giving the home the desired look. You can play with lighting and see the difference yourself.
There are various forms of lighting that people may use in their house to enlighten a particular part of the house and give it the right angle and spacing effect, but hanging lamps are one of the most common ones. You could buy them from either retail stores around your home or from the online stores which provide home delivery of the product that you buy.If you do not want to buy it, you could also make a hanging lamp shade at home using your creativity. Here are some simple steps that you can follow to bring out the creative side of you:
1. First of all switch off the electricity circuit breaker fixed for running the light fixture you'll be working on.
2. Strip the existing lighting fixture there leaving only the wire and bulb so you can create the hanging lamp around this.
3. Fix the four hooks into the ceiling in a square pattern central from the lamp wire.
4. The hanging chain or thread should then be cut into 4 equal lengths depending upon how much distance you want the lamp to hang from the roof, keeping the length enough to cover the bulb.
5. Cut approximately 15 inches of bendable wire and shape it into a circle.
6. Using hot glue, stick the ends of the hanging chains through this wire circle at 4 equidistant points.
7. Cut a piece of canvas into a rectangle of approximately 15 inches length (basically enough to envelop the circumference of the wire circle) and long enough to get the required length for the lamp. Enfold one side of the canvas width around the wire circle.
8. Cut out a small square of canvas (1 x 1 inches approximately) over each portion where the wire circle intersects the chain length.
9. Now fold the canvas edge around the wire circle so that the chain lengths show out.
10. Stitch the flap of canvas using a needle & thread. Make one more wire circle with 15 inches of bendable wire (same as the first one) and sew this one to the other end of the canvas.
11. Finally you can hang the loose ends of each chain length on the "C" hooks fixed into the ceiling.
Yes, that would be a huge improvement to the whole room design. I think it would look great somewhere in the living room or the study, it's going to fit just right in. Maybe even the bedroom if you pick a different color for the shade.
