Hand-Painted Lamp Makeovers
Don't toss that old lamp just yet. We breathe new life into boring or faded lighting fixtures with custom, hand-painted designs that reflect your personality.
A client gave us her old lampshade to upcycle, and we transformed it with this vibrant tropical toucan design. It now serves as a stunning statement piece in her home.
This video shows the process of painting a custom lampshade for a client's friend. We started with a simple sketch and brought it to life with our signature line-painting style.
A quick DIY project to spruce up our studio. We took plain white pendant lights from IKEA and painted them with a colorful, abstract design to match our vibrant workspace.
Our version of Ghibli-inspired art. We created this Totoro-like figure and placed it next to one of our flamingo-themed bottle lamps, blending two different artistic worlds.
About Lamps & Lighting Makeovers
It is not just about the paint. Before I pick up a brush, I deep clean and apply a bonding primer so your design stays vibrant and does not peel. Every lamp gets multiple coats of clear varnish, making the surface wipeable and protected against dust and daily handling.
Whether it is a tired lampshade from a flea market or a plain pendant light that needs a pop of color, I love giving old lighting a second chance. My process starts with a conversation about what you actually want—be it wild florals, geometric lines, or a specific color palette that matches your room.
Everything happens in my Whitefield studio. You bring me the lamp, we decide on the art, and I get to work. Please keep in mind that I am an artist, not an electrician, so I cannot handle structural repairs or rewiring. If your lamp works, I make it look better.
I use high-grade, fade-resistant acrylics that hold up well over time. Because these are hand-painted, every piece is unique, and I take 10 to 15 days to ensure the paint cures properly and the varnish is perfectly applied. It is a slow process, but that is how we ensure your lamp does not just look good today, but keeps looking good for a long time.

I’m Tanvi. My studio in Whitefield is where I spend most of my days covered in paint, turning forgotten lamps and dull shades into pieces that actually catch your eye. It is just me and my small team bringing bold colors to the things you already own.
