This $30 DIY Hack Took My Bedroom's Overhead Lighting From “Hospital Waiting Room” To “Hotel Suite”


When I set out to find an aesthetically pleasing dimmer for my ceiling light, I discovered rental-friendly “flush mount conversion kits.” Essentially, they’re lampshades for your ceiling. At first, I thought they might be the perfect solution… until I saw the price.

You’d think that with so many renters unable to swap out hardwired fixtures, affordable options would be everywhere. But no, the selection is shockingly limited. And the most internet-famous option, Tulip Shades? Those will set you back anywhere from $116 to $375. Call me frugal, but I just couldn’t bring myself to splurge that much on a ceiling lamp.
