Catch hold of your local carpenter and get him to make you a vibrant ikat lampshade in cotton or silk to match your decor. If you want the lamp to be funky, colour the body of the lamp in a totally different shade. For example, if your ikat shade is a bright pink, paint the body a dark green.
Where to buy in Delhi: Pick the ikat of your choice from Lajpat Nagar export market near Rampul, Lepakshi emporium (CP) or on Fabriclore. Then, head to Lok Nayak Bhavan or Panchkuian Road for fabrication of your lampshade. You can also accentuate it with lace and tassels.
