Do you have an old lampshade at home that no longer matches<\/em> with your interior or your taste? Or, even better, you spot a lampshade in a second-hand shop with a nice shape but a rather dated or discoloured shade. Then pay close attention. Because our DIY expert Melanie shows you step-by-step how to re-cover such an old lampshade and make it completely up-to-date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Upcycling a vintage lampshade from the charity shop!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At thegreenlist.nl<\/em> we are fans of reusing. And what we find even more fun is if you give something old a fresh, new look<\/em> by upcycling it. A lamp is perfect for this. Such an item is often quite prominent in your interior and can be quite expensive when new. In short, the ideal piece of furniture to give a second life by reupholstering the lampshade. Or, perhaps even more fun, by finding an old lampshade at a charity shop and covering it yourself with fabric that you're really happy with. This way, a charity shop lamp suddenly becomes a real eye-catcher. And an extra bonus: even for a beginner upcycler, this DIY is very doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
