One of the best ways to update a space is to add lighting. A great idea would be to use lighting fixtures that can double as art pieces. However, designer lighting can get pretty expensive. But you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars so you can have a set of stylish lights. With a little know-how, time, and effort, you can easily make them on your own.
This concrete bell-shaped pendant light is a great style addition for an urban setting. Its design will give your space an industrial feel.
We were renovating our outdoor bar about a month ago. We wanted it to become an entertainment area when family and friends come over to visit. As work went on, we realized we needed to get new lights to complement the mood of the space. We figured concrete pendant lights would be good but the price tag attached to a set stopped us.
Fortunately, we found a tutorial video on how to DIY concrete pendant lights. It was simple and easy to follow so my husband and I worked on a set of six lights. Today, they’re hanging in our outdoor bar and we love it!
