There's nothing quite like a tripod lamp to add some character to a home. With their part-light source/part-sculpture functionality, these three-legged beauties command attention and really know how to pull a space together.
A designer tripod lamp can cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars ... making it the perfect lighting project to DIY! And they're actually pretty straight-forward to make. You just need a bit of time and some creativity up your sleeve :)
