IKEA’s new design it yourself lighting range

I’m loving this new wave of lighting and furniture that allows you to be the designer. And one such product is IKEA Australia’s new NYMÖ COPPER range, which sees you make your own personalised pendant, table or floor lamp.

By combining a NYMÖ COPPER lampshade with your choice of cord set or base, you can make a statement in your room with an oversized textile pendant shade, creating beautiful diffused light over your space.

With prices ranging from $24.99-to-$59 they are extremely affordable and what’s more, if you purchase your lampshade with an LED light bulb, you’ll be helping The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) as well.

Up until the end of March, every LED light bulb purchased from IKEA Australia stores will see the IKEA Foundation donate €1 to UNHCR. The much-needed funds will help UNHCR to provide refugee camps in Asia, Africa and the Middle East with solar-powered street lights and lanterns — making them safer, more suitable places for the families who live there.

Designing your custom cage light is as easy as 1-2-3!

DIYL (Design It Yourself Lights) are so new you can still only pre-order, but we think you’re going to love them.

Offering a range of cloth-covered cords ($36), metal cages (from $28) and vintage-style bulbs (from $8), all you have to do is pick one of each and in three easy steps you’ve created your very own personalised light feature.

“We want people to be creative and have fun designing their own, rather than being stuck with the stock standard options that everyone else has,” explains director Kaycee Singh. “Because of this, we encourage people to mix and match our products to suit their style and have a range of colours and styles to choose from.”

From rustic and industrial, to bright pops of colours, there are many styles of light features you can create. They’re also easy to use, with the cords ready to plug in from the get go. You can also easily turn your creations into permanent fixtures thanks to their ceiling conversion kits, though that does call for the help of a licenced electrician!
