Smart Idea: Take the lid off

PHOTOS Dook PRODUCTION Annemarie Meintjes


We found an extraordinary use for a rather ordinary kitchen utensil, turning it into a one-of-a-kind mood light.

A stainless-steel food cover can be converted it into a mood light with a difference that will bounce shards of coloured light off your living-room walls.

All you need

  • 1 perforated extra-large stainless-steel food cover. Chinese stores are your best bet for a range of well-priced food covers at great prices. 
  • 5m electrical cord, 1 light socket, 1 electric plug and 1 coloured lightbulb, available from any hardware store.
