Lighting can either transform or make any room uncomfortable. Suffice it to recall cold hospital corridors, and, for example, cafes, where there is always soft warm light.
Especially in winter, people miss the sun, so it is very important that there is always light at home. A special cozy atmosphere can be created with the help of various lamps or floor lamps. However, it is not always possible to choose a lamp that matches the interior of the room. But don’t be upset, because for any lamp you can make a lampshade with your own hands from fabric .
Classic interior design for the New Year
Huge lush garlands, sparkling New Year's lights and a richly decorated Christmas tree are a kind of “classic” of New Year's interior design. If you want to create a cozy and fabulous atmosphere in your apartment (or house), as in the following photos, then you should also adhere to one of the following color combinations in the decor:
- Red, green, white;
- White, gold, black;
- Red, gold, blue.

DIY frame and base for lampshade
First you need to choose a lamp or several lamps for which you need to make fabric lampshades. It is better to use lamps with energy-saving or LED lamps. Regular light bulbs can simply burn the fabric, so it’s better not to take risks.
Before you begin, you need to remove the frame for which the lampshade will be created. If the lamp does not have a frame, then it can be purchased, for example, in a special store or construction department.
Also, the frame for any lamp, be it a floor lamp, table lamp or chandelier, can be made independently. To do this you will need thick wire and pliers.
The base can have any shape. It will be easier to make a lampshade for a cylindrical or cone-shaped frame.
New Year's interiors in country and Provence style
Rustic interior design itself looks very cozy and colorful. As a rule, it is characterized by wooden accents, against which white New Year's decor will look great, as well as decorations in red and green, or red and blue.
In addition, a New Year's interior in country or Provence style can be decorated with a large number of candles in antique candlesticks or lanterns, soft blankets and pillows with patterns on the theme of winter and New Year, as well as rooster figurines as a symbol of the coming 2020.

Types of lamps
Provence style is one of the classic interior styles, so the placement and types of lamps are traditional:
- central chandelier;
- wall sconces;
- floor lamps;
- night lights;
- decorative candlesticks with real or electric candles.
How to choose a chandelier for the living room
A chandelier in the living room is not only a source of light, but also an important element of the interior. Therefore, when choosing it, it is important to take into account several characteristics at once. Before ordering a chandelier for the hall, you should pay attention to the layout, dimensions, ceiling height, design direction and other features of the room.
Built-in lighting is rarely used; one option is an LED strip hidden under the cornice along the perimeter of the ceiling. However, such light evokes thoughts not of the lightness of the French province, but of technological modernity. There is another method of built-in lighting that successfully matches the interior and does not interfere with its perception - we’ll talk about it later.
Zoning in “French country” is also possible, but for this it is better to use, for example, forged lamps on chains with imitation candelabra.
New Year's interior in Scandinavian style
New Year's interior design in the Scandinavian style is distinguished by restraint and cool colors. The main accent in most cases is a green Christmas tree, fluffy branches and spruce garlands. They are complemented with white decorations, as well as LED lights and candles. As a result, a Scandinavian room for the New Year resembles a crisp and sparkling winter forest. Solemn and elegant!

What else
Another option for creating a beautiful product. By the way, the lampshade can be of different shapes and colors. For example, round brown or rectangular white.
Let's take white cotton yarn - 200 g; a hook suitable for working with such yarn; lamp frame.
- We will knit from top to bottom - from narrow to wide. It is better to remove the frame from the lamp in advance, where the old lampshade was. Then we knit the chain from the loops to the desired length.
- We close the chain into a ring. We knit a row with double crochets.
- We make the third from three air ones and raise them. From the bottom row we knit a new sc, knit two loops. We knit two loops, attaching sc. And we do this all the way to the end. You can hang it from the ceiling wherever you want and as your imagination dictates.
- Next we will knit two double crochets, one double crochet and again two double crochets. Let's connect all the elements with one loop.
- We will knit three rows in a circle, as before. Only between all the parts we will knit three air stitches. In the eighth we alternate all the elements with eight columns with one cape. Let's connect them together. It is also easy to make a product in Provence style or another. See what they look like online to decide.
- We will do this until the end, using the diagrams.
- When we finish the workpiece, we attach it to the base. We tie it to the frame with single crochets. Therefore, we hook the bottom of the lampshade, decorating it.
This is perfect for a table lamp.
