Use contact paper to imitate wood
Several brands work with substitute materials to imitate the look of brass, ceramic, and wood. The wooden-looking lamps can be found in the spring-summer collections of some big interior design stores, so if you want to own this trendy piece of furniture, you should try recreating it at home with this useful DIY project. In addition to a white lampshade, you’ll have to get wood contact paper.

For this tutorial, it’s essential that you clean your shade to ensure that it doesn’t have dust or dirt on top. By doing so, you’ll have a smooth surface to work with. Measure how much contact paper you’ll need to wrap around the shade and cut it. Finally, remove its protective layer and attach it to your lampshade.
