I completely love distinctive lighting in a room, and whereas I primarily love distinctive pendant lights and chandeliers, I do love an fascinating desk mild as nicely. Though, with regards to desk lights, I can nearly at all times discover one thing in a retailer that fits my wants and desires.
However I take a look at pendant lights and chandeliers as not solely sensible items due to the additional lighting they supply, however I additionally see them as a chance so as to add one thing sculptural or creative to a room. I’ve heard (and seen) that most individuals think about the decrease half of a room since that’s the place the majority of the objects in a room go — sofas, chairs, space rugs, facet tables, desk lamps, espresso tables, and many others. However I believe each room wants one thing to attract the attention as much as the highest half of the room, which is why I additionally place a great deal of emphasis on fascinating art work for partitions, wallpaper, murals, curtains/draperies that go as excessive as attainable, fairly curtain rods and rings, and fascinating pendant lights and chandeliers. The highest half of the room wants adorning simply as a lot as the underside half in an effort to create a way of stability within the room.
I first tried my hand at making my very own pendant mild again in 2008 when I made a light made of plastic drinking straws. This was a enjoyable mission, however I by no means really used the completed mild in a room. We had been within the rental on the time, and the colours weren’t fairly what I wished within the rental.
I’ve at all times wished that I had made this mild out of 1 stable colour of straws. Even a stable white or stable clear plastic straw mild would have been very putting.
After which in 2010, I made a light made out of paper pulp egg cartons. I noticed these purple paper pulp egg cartons used as packing, and so they appeared too fairly to throw away, so I wished to provide you with a artistic use for them. However once more, I by no means really used this mild anyplace. I ended up giving this one away.
Additionally in 2016, I made a semi-flush light out of wood for our music room. This mild hung in our music room for fairly a while. Sadly, I by no means obtained to see this mild within the completed music room. By the point I really completed the music room, I had already swapped this mild out for the capiz chandelier that we presently have within the music room.
I’ve at all times had a fascination with making my very own lights and developing with one-of-a-kind lighting. Maybe I missed my true calling, and I ought to have been a lighting designer. 😀
And now I’m getting one other alternative to make a novel, one-of-a-kind mild for my closet. I’m getting fairly near having the entire elements completed and able to be painted, put in, and utterly assembled. If issues go as deliberate, I ought to have my latest mild creation prepared to point out off on Monday.
