Subtle and elegant, and at £29 this beautiful mouth blown glass lamp shade is a steal from Made.com. 

We love it’s midcentury influence and the coloured glass tone is perfect. 

It’s smooth on the outside, but with a rippled effect on the inside it creates a lovely light effect. 

This shade would look great in a reading corner or clustered with a few of the same colour, or similar styles but different colours, from the range.

Lights for our home come in all shapes and sizes. One particular trend that has taken off over the last couple of years is marquee style letter lights – solid letters filled with individual bulbs.
With versions popping up all over the internet and in homeware shops there are a lot to choose from, sometimes being quite pricey. Today we show you  how to make your own personaliased marquee lights at a fraction of the cost.

For the best effect and to create a sturdy light you will need to cut your letters or symbols out of wood [ jigsaw needed ]. Alternatively you can get hold of pre-cut versions online from sites including Amazon and Hobby Craft [ from £2 ].

We found two great tutorials at popsugar.com and Robesondesign.com
