Recently, designer paper lampshades have become increasingly popular. Incredible shapes, different colors... That’s just worth such a pleasure, probably a lot. But this is not a reason to leave the most common lampshades or hang those that have been lying in the pantry since time immemorial. You can always create miracles with your own hands.





Editorial "Site" collected the most amazing ideas for creating lampshades from paper, which will undoubtedly decorate your interior.

When it comes to paper lampshades, immediately there are a lot of questions about whether they get dirty too quickly and whether it is not dangerous. So, such lamps collect dust in the same way as ordinary ones, but it is not difficult to clean them. They are easily cleaned with a hair dryer or brush for cleaning.

As for whether they are safe, we can say that it is. Only here it is important to find a good paper. If the lampshade will be very close to the light bulb, it is best to use coated paper.

  1. A flock of butterflies
    Such a lamp will perfectly complement your interior. A gentle, light and airy lampshade will give the room an unusual look.
