As I mentioned before, honeysuckle is a color of this year so why not to make something trendy for your interior? A hanging lamp in neobarocco style would be a great choice for a DIY project. Such lamp would be a great addition to any modern decor. Especially great it would look in combination with wallpapers with baroque patterns. Neo-baroque styled lamps are usually made of acrylic glass (Plexiglas) which is stronger than ordinary glass and easier to work with. That’s why we will also use it for this project.
