Lighting trends are all the rage right now. And while they are some really amazing pendants, table lamps, etc out there, they’re not exactly all within reach of a tight budget. So, today I’m sharing some DIY ways you can recreate those lighting trends with your own two hands, on a serious budget.

Here’s 8 lighting trends you can totally DIY…

1. (above) Turn a giant basket upside down, poke a hole, add a lighting kit and you’ve got yourself a DIY version of this statement pendant spotted at Villa Palmier. Side note…You can actually rent this home (it’s in St Barts) and if money were no object, I would definitely be booking a stay! (Image via Villa Palmier)

Make a DIY rattan pendant. Interior Obsession: I Spy 8 Lighting Trends You Can Totally DIY #lighting #rattan #basket #diyideas #pendant

5. Jump on the wicker and rattan wagon, but make sure you do it even bigger and better. This light seen on Atelier Vime could be your next DIY project. All you would need is to find the perfect oversized flat basket or rattan wall hanging (something like this could do the trick), and a light kit. Thread the cord and socket through the top of the basket, and attach your lightbulb. Probably safest to stick to LED lights that won’t overheat, though… (Image via Atelier Vime)

These eight trends are significant, especially the blub inside basket one that is so easy. Is it great to use it on the study table or above the office work table?
