Lamp Hack: How to Make Any Lamp Cordless - * View Along the Way * There’s a common problem in interior design that no one talks about. It’s all very hush-hush, you see. It’s the problem of the lamp cord. (Yeah, I said it.) Everyone always wants to pretend like it’s not an issue. Like they can just plop their desks right down in the center of their room and their lamps won’t even need access to an outlet. Designed by Armonia Decors Like their lamps don’t even come with cords. But let’s talk reality. You get to face the door of the room from where you sit at your desk, which easily earns you an A-plus from the feng shui overlords. But there’s one problem. And that lamp is going to come with a pesky cord which is a trip hazard and most importantly – of course – an eyesore. But if you’re not willing to compromise the room layout you want (and you want to appease the feng shui geeks), you can have your lamp and light it too… without the cord.
This is how we took our sad little rescue lamp, the $1 yard sale find that we fixed up in this post: Lamp. 1. 2. 3. 5. Crafts & DIY images. Make, How To, and DIY. Diy: Anthropolgie Inspired Lamp | thepintopony. When I was about 6 months pregnant I spotted a lampshade online at Anthropologie and had to have it. Being the instant gratification person that I am, I didn’t order it and went to the local Anthro to pick it up. Once I saw it in person I realized it would be a really easy diy! It was my first project for the babe’s room and I love how it turned out. All the fabric “puffs” make it put off a nice soft light.
I started with a basic lamp shade and base from Target. Now for the star of the show, the lamp shade. Cut those strips into 4″ squares. Cut the squares into circles. Take your glue gun and put a ring shape of glue about half way in the circle. Take the fabric circle and gather it at the middle to create the little puff. After the glue has cooled, cut the base of the puff off so you’re working with a flat surface to glue to the lampshade. Add a little hot glue to the base of the puff and stick it to the lampshade. You could do so many variations of this. Happy diy-ing!
