If you’re looking for a quick way to update a room, this 15-minute paper lampshade tutorial from Ohoh Deco is a great project to try. It’s an easy, budget-friendly fix for a tired lamp, using materials you likely already have around the house. You can repurpose wallpaper scraps from a previous renovation to make the light blend perfectly with your walls, or use cardstock for a clean, modern look.
The process is straightforward: no complicated steps, so you can do it even if you’re a complete beginner. Because you’re working with paper, it’s easy to get creative – you might choose a bold color for a statement piece or even hand-paint your own designs onto the finished shade. It’s a fast, satisfying way to add a bit of personality to your lighting and create a soft, warm glow in any corner of your home.
