I found a neat lamp that you can make with materials that you can easily find at home. The only materials that you need to make this lamp are: paper, glue, scissors, and a (old) lantern. To make the lamp you just need to cut strips from scrap paper and glue them on the shade. The result is “an incredibly stunning artichoke-like lamp that looks expensive but it truly cost you nothing.

Inspiration

As I was researching I found this blog post about a stunning house in New Delhi, India it has contemporary influences. “Different textures adorn the house and create a sense of serenity and peace. Earthy tones enhance warmth that emanate from the interiors of the house.” I just simply love how it brings nature into the space. I would have never thought of putting a pool on the top floor also like the lighting fixtures since they are modern but in the way they are put in a way that they don’t make the space feel cold and instead they bring everything together making the space feel peaceful.
