IKEA Lamps: Ideas for Refreshing & Refurbishing

 

 

Ah, IKEA: the staple of first-apartment-furnishers, the budget-conscious, and the space-constrained. IKEA's well priced and utilitarian furniture and decor can be seen everywhere, which is great - except that it can be seen everywhere. There is a whole, amazing directory of IKEA 'hacks' at ikeahackers.com, but they are mostly focused on furniture pieces rather than lighting. So here are some ideas for refreshing IKEA lamps so to make sure your well-priced lighting is not the same as your neighbor's.

 

 

 

 

 

JANSJÖ LED clamp spotlight

 

Spray this utilitarian clip-on lamp in gold or silver and you'll have a more luxe, metallic version.

 

 

 

 

MAGNARP floor lamp

 

The shade of this ubiquitous floor lamp is made from rice paper, so dying it in an ombre pattern should not be difficult. Use this paper lampshade dyeing technique from Martha Stewart.

 

 

 

 

SÖRE Pendant Lamp

 

Ikea uses a lot of rice paper for its lamps which do impart a natural, Scandinavian feel. You could also up the woodsy factor by wrapping it in a nice fiber like jute twine.

 

 

 

 

Have you re-imagined an IKEA lamp? Or do you have one that you don't know what to do with? Feel free to share (or vent)!

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
