Custom lighting can help homeowners add a personal touch to their space. In fact, some of the items you already have in your home could be used to create lamps that are completely unique. Here are some ideas for items you can have transformed into custom light fixtures.

Transform These Personal Items Into Unique Custom Lighting

1. Glass Bottles

Old bottles and jars can be the perfect base for a lamp. They look fairly natural, so they can blend in with a classic or nautical style home. You can also find old glassware in nearly any size, shape, and color, so if you have a specific look in mind, just scour antique stores to find the perfect fit.

2. Fans

Vintage fans bring character to any space, but they’re especially popular in eclectic and industrial style homes. A custom lighting professional may be able to remove the fans and install bulbs in their place to provide significant light from one fixture.

3. Gas Cans

If you’re looking for a lamp to add to a man cave, garage, or basement, old gas cans can serve as the perfect lamp base. Adding a plain bulb or simple shade over it completes the look. This brings an auto inspired fixture into the room and creates a unique vintage style.

4. Plumbing Fixtures

For those who want an industrial style lamp, old plumbing fixtures may be perfect. Pipes and connections can be arranged in nearly any shape or size you want. Then a raw Edison bulb is the perfect addition to give your fixture an edgy look.

5. Musical Instruments

For music lovers who want custom fixtures, bring old instruments into your lighting dealer. They can use an old accordion or horn as the base. Some fixtures may even use the horns from old instruments or record players as the shade for each bulb.
