40 Small DIY Projects to Try in 2025

The Tulip shade also comes with a ceiling mount, removable tape and three screws (as needed for textured ceiling applications).

Tulip is a small business owned by Lori Smyth. Your inspiration? The dreary lighting in a student dormitory! Their innovative design requires no rewiring, no power tools, nothing! Check out the different styles and how easy they are to install via Tulips TikTok.

BuzzFeed Editor Chelsea Stuart owns and loves it!:

I just had the opportunity to try one of these and I am simply OBSESSED. I live in a rental apartment in NYC and have a really drab lamp in my kitchen that even an electrician couldn't remove from the ceiling without breaking it…so I gave up on replacing it as soon as I moved in. Unfortunately a year later I found Tulip on TikTok! I immediately thought: 1. This is absolutely brilliant and 2. How has no one come up with this idea before?!?!

Install It took all of 10 minutes (the installation seems a lot more complicated than it is), and that included taking it out of the box, attaching the ring to the ceiling, and then attaching the magnetic shade. (Honestly, the thing that took me the longest was digging my step stool out from the depths of my junk closet.) Not only is the shade itself beautiful, but the diffused light is just so soft and pretty. I can't wait to get another one for my entryway!!!”

Promising review: “I was looking for a paper lamp or a replacement for my current apartment lighting, but either they didn't fit or it would require too much effort that my landlord wouldn't appreciate. That's when I came across Tulip. I can't say it any clearer: you simply clamp the ring to the ceiling with a command and the umbrella is attached with a magnet… really brilliant.” —Oliver O.

Get it from Tulip for $149 (also available in 10 other styles).
