If you’ve ever experienced dorm room lighting, you know it’s not ideal. When we stepped into my younger sister’s dorm room for the first time during her freshmen year of college, I was shocked to see some dim lights in the ceiling, but basically nothing else. No lamp by the bunk bed, no light in the closet, nothing. Granted, this was a state college, but still! It was dark in there!
Lighting is something that you pretty much have to take care of yourself, but why buy a plain and boring lamp from Wal-Mart when you could make your own lit-up objects? These DIY lighting projects are all super fun and will not only make your room brighter, but they’ll also add some much-needed decorations. Decor with a purpose! And don’t worry – anyone can do these, whether you’re in a dorm room or your bedroom at home. Check out these 16 awesome DIY lighting projects you need to make for the best dorm room ever:
1. Start off easy and decorate a cheap lamp by covering it in glitter and/or sequins.
2. String lights are great for your room. You can hang them on the wall, or if you can’t manage to do that, you can drape them around something. Make star-shaped ones:
3. If you don’t like the color of a lamp you already have, paint it to make it better looking.
