Mushroom decor is everywhere at the moment, from drinking glasses has Lamps inspired by the 70s. Case in point: the hashtag #mushroomlamp currently has 72.2 million views on TikTok alone. But you don’t have to worry about spending a ton to get this fungus lighting in your own home. In fact, TikTok content creator Drew (@lonefoxhome) recently went viral for explaining how he created a chic mushroom lamp using only IKEA bases.
To start, Drew spent less than $50 on three IKEA staples: an 11-in. Blanda bowl (which costs $9.99), a Sluka insulated flask (which costs $29.99), and a Barlast lamp (which costs $7.99).
First, the TikToker cut the handle off the bottle using a saw, although he notes in voiceover that “you could probably break it if you wanted to.” Next, Drew built the lamp base and cut about an inch and a half from its paper shade. Next, he removed the top of the bottle using pliers and attached the top component of the lamp to the pot using quick-setting epoxy spray and a bit of tape. Finally, he placed the bowl on top, and voilà! A cute mushroom lamp that you can spray any color to match your home.
Since sharing this IKEA hack on August 31, Drew’s video has received over 30,000 likes and 320,000 views.
“This is SO creative, clever and the best mushroom lamp shape I’ve ever seen,” one TikToker commented. “I’m in love and I really do, well done and thank you!”
“They’re about to be out of stock everywhere,” another commenter joked.
