You can buy a very basic light fixture and dress it up using a wire basket or metal or glass dish.

Building an electrical device is not safe for a DIY project. Since this forum is mostly about frugality, why don’t you buy a used one on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace or a thrift shop and paint it to match your decor?

If you already have an overhead light there that you want to pretty up, check out this project I did in my hallway... there are lots of options for making them into something prettier than what you have.... https://www.girljustdiy.com/boob-light-makeover/
