Came just to hoghlight this comment. I completely agree and can’t believe what I just seen..in a good way. Luckily for me I have a 3D printer and a small room to cover lol
Like others have mentioned, this was definitely "budget", and I was skeptical too when I saw that paper going in as a diffuser as too how good it would actually look, but oh my. This turned out way better than I was expecting
Lol yeah I wasn't sure how the paper was going to look either but it looks great! Could certainly use some acrylic but its a little more expensive and unless you have a big piece, you might see little gaps at the seams! Thanks so much for watching!
This is such a great way to show how if you didn’t see how it was made you would think you had spent easily $200+ on this. Wow. Impressive and this is something that people who rent an apartment or house could utilize without causing damage
Thanks so much! I never though of it but that's a great idea how you can do this without putting holes in the wall. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
I love whenever you come out with new videos! You always do things that are very unique and original but not re-inventing the wheel complicated. Thanks!
Budget and it works. Paper might not work on floor led due to physical interaction but on the ceiling, this could probably do. Many thanks for the idea.
Lol it doesn't look bad with the lights on (my wife might disagree haha) but for sure they were built for having the lights off. The next step would be to make everything look very sleek and premium so during the day it looks great as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I just did my baseboards in my office at my new house and I gotta say... I wish I would have seen this about 2 months ago... nice work and a great idea!
I use WLED for every led thing I make. I’ve bought close to 30 esp devices for projects for myself and other people, even made a control panel with a power button, brightness control, and preset selector knob that works amazingly well. Also fairyreef is my favorite palette.
WLED is really awesome! Glad you agree! That sounds amazing! did you by any chance make a video on how to do that?! I would love to watch it if you did!
Thanks! Yeah much cheaper than acrylic. I wish i could find acrylic that is one solid piece but i think i would have to have a plastic manufacturing plant nearby otherwise it would be astronomically expensive. I'm just glad the paper worked great! Thanks so much for watching!
Lol yeah I tried finding a video on youtube how to make it before I started but couldn't find a single one! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I never know how long to make the final pictures/videos. I though about installing it down one of my hallways but ended up not doing it. Maybe in a follow up video i will. Thanks!!
Very clean! I like how premium it looks even if you decided to take de "cheap" route (paper instead of acrylic and the paper roll for the wires) Great job
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the project and thanks for watching! It might not be good enough for everyone but luckily I'm not a perfectionist lol Have a good one!

Hi chris I am from India i inspired from your video i also made trim led light with using profile the output is so good i learn from your video's thank u keep doing
Little pro tip: Don't cut 45s on your inside corners. A cleaner and better fit is to run all the way into the corner on one. For the piece that will now butt up to that, cut it just a hair longer than you need. Then start on the free end and work toward the corner. You'll have to tap the end into the corner. After that, a tiny bit of wood putty across the top and inside edge and you'll have what appears to be a seamless connection. The reason for this is that getting walls perfectly perpendicular to each other and getting two perfect 45s is a lot less likely than simple square cuts.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. That's a great tip and as you can probably tell, I don't know much about woodworking so I appreciate all the advice I can get! Thanks!!
@@ChrisMaherDIY No worries. Everyone starts somewhere. Also, if you have normal trim, you'll need a coping saw for my trick to work. Lastly, and I forgot to say in my OP, really cool light setup. Provides just enough ambient light for pauses during movies.
Well then.... if'n you'll excuse me I need to make a trip to Lowes and order some more Govee LED strips. The results you achieved look awesome, and far exceeded what I expected especially for the cost of your materials! Thanks for sharing!
@@ChrisMaherDIY good video idea would be on a diy of the govee lyra floor lamp, or a review. I have it and its pretty cool! Your room looks sick with all of that led
What amazed me the most was the blue paint tape that you used just to stick things on the wall!!!! I had to rewatch it again because i didnt catch that the first time around. But even that roll up you did to manage the cables made me laugh. You really got it figured out here and the results were very impressive!😮 A job well done! I think im a have to use your roll up idea to manage my cables too haha thank you for this video!
Ugh, I totally forgot that I got a feather board a couple months ago! I can't believe I forgot about it. That definitely would have made it easier and probably a little safer as well. Good call!
this. is. awesome. wow... everything about it. simplicity = genius. great job, and thank you for sharing. i just may do this for my office/gaming room.
Hi Chris I did like the way to enhance the environment of the room. I must say it is incredibly beautiful and would take the opportunity to do a simple project for my room in near future. Hats of to you Chris.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Thanks for the advice! woodworking is something I am still very new at and appreciate all the tips i can get. Appreciate it!
Some of probably already mentioned it ...love the work but for safety buy a good push stick man. I want you to keep your fingers. Great work ..it looks beautiful
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah I for sure should have used a push stick! I even have one so I dont know why I didn't! Thanks for looking out my friend!
@@hmurchison8123 I've always been amazed at walking into some older dad's garages and seeing the crazy number of tools they have. I'm begining to understand how it happens lol.
Pine is very prone to warping under normal conditions. Paint only one side and you've made it worse. The acrylic would have helped a _little_ , but paper is basically a moisture wick. Add in the heat, minor as it is, from the LEDs, and I'd be very surprised if that thin section doesn't curl up and/or crack on you.. probably by now, since it's three months later. Paint both sides of the wood (yes, even though it won't be seen) to seal it. Sealing any end grain will help too. Wood glue works great for this - end grain will soak up a LOT of paint. If it'll be seen, sand the end grain well, then coat it with wood glue and give it a few minutes to soak in. Wipe or scrape off any excess and let the glue dry. Now you can sand lightly and paint it. The glue will help fill some of those deep pits that pine sometimes has when you cut across the grain. If you want it perfectly flat, use wood filler, but do the glue trick first. Most wood fillers are water based these days, and water + end grain... nope.
Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the great woodworking tips and advice! Thats such great information and I'll for sure remember this! Thank buddy!
Wow. This is amazing. I have to look bit I hope younshowed us how to do those corner pieces that look like skyscrapers this room is awesome I think you're my hero!! Lol
Very nice. I did a very similar build but used a couple diffused fluorescent light covers cut into strips to diffuse the light. I also had the corner problem and just made 3/4" squares instead of a triangle.
I'd call the second operation(second and third cuts) Rabbeting. Granted you're not using that connect to anything but I think it's still the term. LEDs don't like making turns in that direction. The little clips you used or soldering is nearly required. I like that paper idea for diffusion. Something I haven't nailed yet for my projects. Looks great!
Great Ideas and Implementation. But until the end i just didn't know which piece was on top/below or inside/outside facing. Suggest u show the design before implementation.
Very innovative ( as always ) . Happy that i subbed to your channel. I can see your projects progressing and getting more innovative. There are thousands of channels doing the same RGB decorative stuff and copying each other . Keep up the amazing work :)
Woah man, this looks so good! I'll definitely be making this! I'm also really surprised that you don't have at least 100k subs since your video looks professional!
Yeah I never would have thought paper would do such a good job but being that there are no visible seems, it just looks very clean at night when lit up! Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions if you try making it yourself!
I really like the cut you made for the acrylic really neat result. However when installing in double corners (ie a corner on each side) you would have a hard time sliding that in. Walls and corners generally don't disappear when needed. When I did mine for my kitchen lights I had to make a profile that would screw on later. But if you have really nice RVS flathead screws that looks pretty nice too.
Thanks so much! Based on some comments I think I will try making a video on the controlling aspect. Although it is pretty easy. I have about 4 esp8266 modules in the room all hooked up to the different lights. They all have WLED on them. WLED has a feature where you can control all the lights at once with the push of a button. That's pretty much it but I'll for sure try making a video going into more details soon. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! Its a crazy market out there at least in MN!
You've given me a project I want to take on 100% I love this so much
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi chris I am from India i inspired from your video i also made trim led light with using profile the output is so good i learn from your video's thank u keep doing
Thanks so much!! Appreciate the support my friend! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you like the videos!
I love how you've done this. I've seen bought ready made one's before but I didn't even like them. Your idea is better than those. Thanks
Thanks so much! That means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed the project! Thanks for watching buddy!
Man, that turned out AMAZINGLY!
Little pro tip:
Don't cut 45s on your inside corners. A cleaner and better fit is to run all the way into the corner on one. For the piece that will now butt up to that, cut it just a hair longer than you need. Then start on the free end and work toward the corner. You'll have to tap the end into the corner. After that, a tiny bit of wood putty across the top and inside edge and you'll have what appears to be a seamless connection.
The reason for this is that getting walls perfectly perpendicular to each other and getting two perfect 45s is a lot less likely than simple square cuts.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. That's a great tip and as you can probably tell, I don't know much about woodworking so I appreciate all the advice I can get! Thanks!!

No worries. Everyone starts somewhere. Also, if you have normal trim, you'll need a coping saw for my trick to work.
Lastly, and I forgot to say in my OP, really cool light setup. Provides just enough ambient light for pauses during movies.
Wow! Thank you for doing this. I have been wanting to do something like this for my childrens room.
You are very welcome and thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed. Let me know if you have any questions!
For a temp job going budget, looks really good. Quite impressive.
Awesome man. Straight to the point.
Thanks so much! Lol yeah I jump right in. I'm not creative enough to have a cool intro lol. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Nah. "Problem solving content" > "cool intro".
This is so well done with a fantastic result. Can't wait to buy my own place to be able to do this!
Thanks so much and I'm glad you liked the project! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Well then.... if'n you'll excuse me I need to make a trip to Lowes and order some more Govee LED strips. The results you achieved look awesome, and far exceeded what I expected especially for the cost of your materials! Thanks for sharing!
lol glad you liked the project! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Those are sick man! Very well done!
Thanks buddy! Excited to see your next project! Yours are always so epic!
You impress me every time. Damn man. Nice work
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that. I'm glad you liked the project! Thanks for watching.
@@ChrisMaherDIY good video idea would be on a diy of the govee lyra floor lamp, or a review. I have it and its pretty cool! Your room looks sick with all of that led
Love the design! Definitely will use this in my music studio in the future
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Let me know if you have any questions!
bookmarking this video for a future project.. Thanks for this man! :)
You are very welcome and thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a blessed day!
What amazed me the most was the blue paint tape that you used just to stick things on the wall!!!! I had to rewatch it again because i didnt catch that the first time around. But even that roll up you did to manage the cables made me laugh. You really got it figured out here and the results were very impressive!😮 A job well done! I think im a have to use your roll up idea to manage my cables too haha thank you for this video!
You should invest in a set of feather boards for your table saw. They keep the piece of material that you are cutting pressed against the fence.
Ugh, I totally forgot that I got a feather board a couple months ago! I can't believe I forgot about it. That definitely would have made it easier and probably a little safer as well. Good call!
Best DIY room makeover 🎉
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!!
Very clever and cost effective way of doing that!
thanks so much for watching and glad you liked the video!
this. is. awesome. wow... everything about it. simplicity = genius. great job, and thank you for sharing. i just may do this for my office/gaming room.
Thanks so much and I'm glad you liked the video! Let me know if you add it to your game room! I'd love to see how it turned out.
Hi Chris
I did like the way to enhance the environment of the room. I must say it is incredibly beautiful and would take the opportunity to do a simple project for my room in near future. Hats of to you Chris.
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed the project. Let me know if you have any questions down the road! Thanks for watching!
Hey thank you for sharing what a great project fantastic job I think I will be motivated to do something similar for my TV room thank you
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you enjoyed the video! You are very welcome!
WOW another super unique and creative project! LOVE IT CHRIS!!
Thanks as always :) hope to see you all sooner rather than later! Tell everyone hi!
this guy is smart, dont need to be a sick wasting money consumist to have an awesome looking setup
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you liked the vidoe!!
Amazing, only thing i would recomend is use a miter gauge to cut your bevel block, easy to get a kick back on a tablesaw doing that.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Thanks for the advice! woodworking is something I am still very new at and appreciate all the tips i can get. Appreciate it!
even with the price cuts you make it still looks really professional, great job. :)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you think so. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Hope you have a great day!
Some of probably already mentioned it ...love the work but for safety buy a good push stick man. I want you to keep your fingers. Great work ..it looks beautiful
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah I for sure should have used a push stick! I even have one so I dont know why I didn't! Thanks for looking out my friend!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Your work is good. Your tool chest should be pretty nice in a decade.
@@hmurchison8123 I've always been amazed at walking into some older dad's garages and seeing the crazy number of tools they have. I'm begining to understand how it happens lol.
Gorgeous! Like the glittering C-beams near Tannhaiser Gate…
Thanks!! That's a great comparison! Never would have thought that but i for sure see it now! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Coolest DIY on UA-cam
Thanks so much!! Appreciate the love. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
Excellent job! One of the best I've seen!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Nice finished look! Creative man! Love the corners
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Thanks so much for watching!
Pine is very prone to warping under normal conditions. Paint only one side and you've made it worse. The acrylic would have helped a _little_ , but paper is basically a moisture wick. Add in the heat, minor as it is, from the LEDs, and I'd be very surprised if that thin section doesn't curl up and/or crack on you.. probably by now, since it's three months later. Paint both sides of the wood (yes, even though it won't be seen) to seal it. Sealing any end grain will help too. Wood glue works great for this - end grain will soak up a LOT of paint. If it'll be seen, sand the end grain well, then coat it with wood glue and give it a few minutes to soak in. Wipe or scrape off any excess and let the glue dry. Now you can sand lightly and paint it. The glue will help fill some of those deep pits that pine sometimes has when you cut across the grain. If you want it perfectly flat, use wood filler, but do the glue trick first. Most wood fillers are water based these days, and water + end grain... nope.
Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the great woodworking tips and advice! Thats such great information and I'll for sure remember this! Thank buddy!
Looks amazing man... I love the finished diffused look!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
I have a 1 1 Six tattoo! I remember that blackout album too
Yeah buddy!! That's awesome!!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great job, I am going to steal this one.
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the video and thanks for taking the time to comment!
honestly this is a great cheap DIY
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the project. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I've been also seeing a lot of people using parchment paper for defusing the light ! maybe another diy idea for you
This is awesome mate, I have now designed my own and when its done I'll post it up. Awesome Video
🔥 🔥 🔥 thats dope AF and talented bro
Thanks so much! Glad you like the project and thanks for watching!
Once again, fabulous video! What a cool idea.
Thanks as always buddy! Appreciate it!
Looks incredible and so simple. Even the rolled up paper looks good lol
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the video and my cheap ways of doing things lol.
This is incredible! Also thank you for the visual for the acrylic and the explanation!
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope you have a good one!
Wow. This is amazing. I have to look bit I hope younshowed us how to do those corner pieces that look like skyscrapers this room is awesome I think you're my hero!! Lol
Thanks again buddy! If you have not found it, here is the link :) ua-cam.com/video/ZB5HqWhMXNo/v-deo.html
That's so cool. I might have to do this to my living room.
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions if you do. Thanks for watching!
A cat would love that room.
lol yeah a cat would go crazy in here! Probably destroy everything lol. Thanks for watching buddy!
Very nice. I did a very similar build but used a couple diffused fluorescent light covers cut into strips to diffuse the light. I also had the corner problem and just made 3/4" squares instead of a triangle.
Thats a great idea! Yeah, part of the fun is trying to come up with solutions and materials that will work! Thanks for watching!
I'd call the second operation(second and third cuts) Rabbeting.
Granted you're not using that connect to anything but I think it's still the term.
LEDs don't like making turns in that direction. The little clips you used or soldering is nearly required.
I like that paper idea for diffusion. Something I haven't nailed yet for my projects.
Looks great!
Thanks for watching and thanks for letting me know the correct term! Rabbeting! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks again!
great job man it looks awesome!!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Looks awesome man! Great video. Thank you.
Thanks so much and you are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This looks amazing. Great job, my man 🌟👏💝
Thanks buddy!! Appreciate the support and thanks for taking the time to comment!
Great Ideas and Implementation. But until the end i just didn't know which piece was on top/below or inside/outside facing. Suggest u show the design before implementation.
Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Thanks for the advice! I'll remember that for next time!
Very innovative ( as always ) . Happy that i subbed to your channel. I can see your projects progressing and getting more innovative. There are thousands of channels doing the same RGB decorative stuff and copying each other . Keep up the amazing work :)
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I'm glad you are liking the videos. Thanks again!
In bookmarking this to do it to my own future home
Right on! Super fun project and pretty easy!
Woah man, this looks so good! I'll definitely be making this!
I'm also really surprised that you don't have at least 100k subs since your video looks professional!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the project and thanks so much for the kind words. Maybe someday I'll get there! Have a blessed day my friend!
Thanks, for your channel testing BTF-Lighting LED, and have done a good job.
You are very welcome! Love your lights!
Very cool project - I like it and will definitely work that into a future project ✊
Thanks so much! Love your work. Thanks for taking the time to comment and to watch. Have a good one!
At first I was like "LOL Paper!?!?!?" Now I'm like "....paper...? hmmm..."
Great job, looks awesome. I'm tempted to do similar now!
Yeah I never would have thought paper would do such a good job but being that there are no visible seems, it just looks very clean at night when lit up! Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions if you try making it yourself!
Dope though, even with paper still came out goog
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
I really like the cut you made for the acrylic really neat result. However when installing in double corners (ie a corner on each side) you would have a hard time sliding that in. Walls and corners generally don't disappear when needed.
When I did mine for my kitchen lights I had to make a profile that would screw on later. But if you have really nice RVS flathead screws that looks pretty nice too.
This is fantastic... Cant wait to build my house and have a cool, set up like this
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video! Its definitly fun doing little projects like this. Thanks for watching!
What an awesome outcome… could you go into more depth about how the leds are controlled and syncing with the video?
Thanks so much! Based on some comments I think I will try making a video on the controlling aspect. Although it is pretty easy. I have about 4 esp8266 modules in the room all hooked up to the different lights. They all have WLED on them. WLED has a feature where you can control all the lights at once with the push of a button. That's pretty much it but I'll for sure try making a video going into more details soon. Thanks again!
Great video!! Your light setup is looking sweet man!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video. Merry Christmas!
