Today I have a fun DIY project for you. This IKEA mushroom lamp DIY which is an affordable home decor hack.
I have seen mushroom lamps all over the internet but they sell for hundreds of dollars.
I thought I would make one myself and guess what? Mine cost under $20.00!
That’s right, and I am going to show you how to make one too!
IKEA mushroom lamp DIY:
Supplies-
BLANDA serving bowl.
Kornsno nightlight.
Vardegen jar.
Spray paint, I used this one.
IKEA hack DIY projects are highly regarded for several compelling reasons:
- Affordability: IKEA furniture is known for its reasonable prices, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts to customize and upgrade without breaking the bank.
- Creativity: IKEA products provide a blank canvas for creativity. DIYers can personalize items to match their unique style preferences, whether it’s through paint, hardware changes, or creative modifications.
- Customization: DIY projects allow for customization to fit specific needs and spaces. Whether it’s adjusting dimensions, adding storage solutions, or repurposing furniture for different functions, IKEA hacks enable tailored solutions.
- Quality Base: IKEA furniture typically offers a sturdy and well-designed base, making it a reliable starting point for DIY transformations. This ensures that even after customization, the final product maintains functionality and durability.
- Community and Inspiration: The popularity of IKEA hacks has created a vibrant community of DIYers who share ideas, tutorials, and inspiration online. This community aspect encourages innovation and provides endless possibilities for home improvement projects.
Instructions-
The key to this project is extremely light coats of spray paint.
For this project you are going to want to paint the INSIDE of the jar and the INSIDE of the bowl.
Once your price tags are removed, spray small bursts of spray paint and don’t get too close to avoid runs. Let each coat dry in between. Do not rush this step.
I bought materials for a couple lamps and ended up ruining one because I tried to rush it and got drips.
Assembly-
Once your jar and bowl are dry, put batteries in your nightlight.
Place the jar on your surface followed by the nightlight. Then simply rest the bowl upside down on top of the nightlight.
To turn the lamp on and off simply push gently down on the top.
That’s it! It is so easy!
TIP* If you don’t have an Ikea near you, they do ship! You can also take the nightlight with you to your local dollar store or thrift store and find a suitable sized van or jar to paint.
