The industrial look is in. It’s the perfect bridge between rustic and modern, which is why it works well with a variety of styles. If you’ve been looking for a way to add a touch of industrial design into your home decor, then you’ll definitely want to check out this DIY guide for building and installing a beautiful, functional industrial lighting fixture in your bathroom.
This is an intermediate level DIY project, but the only tricky part is the electrical work. Everything else involves glue, screws, and clamps. First, you’ll need to assemble your tools. For this exact project, which features three separate bulbs on a board, you’ll need: pine board, poplar board, wood glue, wood screws, clamps, wiring, galvanized metal piping, spray paint, wood stain, and sockets. That might sound like lots of stuff, but don’t be overwhelmed! The process is very straightforward.
Once you’ve completed the first steps of the project and have a finished board with the piping installed, you’ll want to move onto the electrical wiring. If doing electrical work is outside your comfort zone you can ask for help or you can follow the guide step by step with extra caution. It might be scary at first, but soon you’ll see that the process is as simple as connecting the dots. White wire connects to white wire and black wire connects to black wire. Take precaution and get help if you need it!
The finished product looks like a fixture that you spent hundreds of dollars on. It’s as modern and industrial chic as you can get and it only cost you the price of materials and an afternoon of work! You’ll love the way it looks in your bathroom.
