It’s a given: at some point in your life, you will live in a rental with a hideous light fixture that makes you weep. Here are four ideas for camouflaging unsightly light fixtures (bonus points if you’re sewing-machine literate).
Above: The Lampade Bigger by Vicenza-based Orietta Marcon of Oggetti can be replicated by a determined DIYer; for instructions, go to DIY: Rustic Linen Lampshade. See more of her work at Designer Visit: Civico Quattro in Vicenze.
Above: In a West Village duplex, MR Architecture + Decor created a three-tiered canvas ceiling fixture.
Above: The Koushi lamp is equally at home in modern or traditional settings; photo via Mark Eden Schooley. Remodelista Alexa created a DIY version; see her instructions at DIY: Koushi Lamp.
Above: Take inspiration from Casamidy’s Delphine light fixture and whip up a canvas version of your own.

+ add your owndon't rate these much!
Neat ideas, but kinda plain. Definitely would use some other kinda fabric.
I think they would go really nicely with white couches. Some people choose completely white rooms and they look great. You have to be careful not to track dirt or stains in but they look so pristine and airy and light that it is worth it.
Thank you!!
