Whether you’ve got a Saturday night fever that just won’t break or you’re a more casual admirer of life’s sparklier goodies, there are ways to introduce the emerging disco ball revival trend into your own space. Just like all of our stylish disco ball decor ideas to bring the ’70s into your home, a DIY disco lamp really beckons you to the dance floor.

This illuminating project is equally suited for a recent thrift store find, any lamp you own that you’re just tired of looking at, or even a recent purchase you made only because it was on sale. The only real requirements are that your chosen lamp or lampshade be made of non-porous materials so that the disco mirrors will stick (unfortunately fabric shades don’t work), and that it be more or less smooth and geometrically shaped, as too many undulating lines won’t be covered as effectively. Then, with a few clicks across the internet or a hustle to the craft store, you can get to Funkytown with the flick of a switch.

Once you’ve selected the lamp you wish to cover, small adhesive mirrored tiles are the easiest way to transform it into the spiffier appliance of your dreams. Reastar self-adhesive mirror tiles come with 5,100 tiny squares to a pack, available in the traditional disco silver or, should you wish to diverge, gold. Although these are literally stickers, they have a hard glass finish for a polished appearance. Just cut the sheets down to the size you need, peel off the paper backing, and get to sticking. You can bring as much or as little disco to the mix as you wish. Even a few rows of tiles toward the lamp’s base will liven things up. You can also play with vertical lines or checkerboard patterns, or incorporate multiple colors. It’s also a good idea to keep some extra adhesive on hand, like hot glue or E6000, in case the mirror’s adhesive isn’t cutting it. 

Amazon user photos and customer review videos illustrate just how versatile these tiles can be, winding around gentle curves with ease. You can even get artsy, reshaping any lamp base with air-dry sculpting clay in abstract forms, then applying the mini-mirrors. Once bedazzled, the mirrored tiles reflect and amplify the lamplight even better than the bulb and shade alone, giving your room plenty of sparkle. In the event that you have any tiles left over, you can use them for more disco decor DIYs like the transformation that will give an old vase new life that’s as satisfying as it is stunning.
