DIY Lamps, by berinder purewal



The DIY lamp I chose was this gallon lamp.I like the idea of reusing milk cartons as a lamp.They are environmentally friendly and look really unique.In my opinion they look kinda of cheap and ugly but I thought they were a really creative use of milk cartons.Im suprised they used plastic milk cartons because they could have easily melted.The strings they hang from make them look really bad I definately would not want these in my house.





Lamps are a important part of design because they can add alot to a room.They come in all different colours, sizes and shapes.Big lamps can be used a focus points in rooms to tie them together or little lamps can be used as accent pieces.Lamps serve a double purpose in rooms they help light and add decoration.







I love candles but mostly cause of there smell I always make my mom buy them for
me but not as decoration pieces just to light and cause of the smell, my favourites
are vanilla.But candle holders can give the room a really nice affect.I like this candle holder cause the black swirls makes it flow.This would be great detaling in a room and would tie it together.




I personally dont like these candle holders but I've never seen anything like them before.There really funky.I would never put these in my house but they do look unique.The candle holders in this picture are in the shape of people.The far right one looks like its playing the drums.It looks really playful and I think would work well in a artsy room.

These candle holders go on walls. I like the design using the black swirl detailing.
What makes these candle holders different is that they go on walls rather than being the center piece on tables.These I think would really add detail to walls in any room.
