I want something minimalist but won't fade into the background. I don't want it to look "ikea-ish" and it shouldn't be fussy. I have a light fixture right now and I love it but it's a bit small. I'm thinking about framing it with the metal frame of a larger rice paper lantern.
I love these pendant light shades, by Moonbasket which was started by Cape Town designer and artist Dani Le Roy. It aims to both support a community-based project and create beautiful items for living spaces. I'm a novice crochetier (I don't even know the correct term!) but I'm doubtful I would be able to gain the skill to replicate these.
Having a couple of these gorgeous shades in my home would make me feel like I'm in an ethereal galxaxy.
