Rustic Lighting? Cabin Chandeliers? Country Pendant Lights?
Gaining in popularity, country decor continues to please many home decorators and with continued interest has had more products and selections made available to the consumer than at any other time in history. No longer is the average person stymied with scouring vintage and antique shops to fit a themed room. Furthermore, the days of making your own furniture or buying unfinished pieces to faux 'antique' or paint, are over.
The first step to finding your perfect chandelier or fixture is to define your sub-style. Rustic is definition itself of a style but it is not enough to narrow down the choices. Delve further into rustic and you'll find sub-categories of styles discussed below.
Rustic lighting options aren't what they used to be ten or even five years ago. Materials used and sizes vary.
Explanations of Rustic and Examples
Rustic Cabin: These lights look like lighting that might have been homemade in the previous century from articles found in nature. Consider the stacked antler chandeliers recently made popular or simple circles of bulbs (such as a wagon Wheel Chandelier) decorated with vines, pine cones or birch bark.
Fixtures and lamps that fit the rustic country style were made of thick metal which may or may not be twisted to give the light added interest. This style of lighting would have come a little later than the cabin style after tradesmen learn how to forge, manipulate and cast raw iron.
Rustic Primitive: If you've ever seen the work of the Pennsylvania Dutch in furniture and lighting, you'll recognize these fixtures immediately. These are usually a balanced blend of wood and metal. The wood is found painted in the primitive palate which is crazed by age, worn on the edges or lightly antiqued before being polished. The metal structure is thinner than earlier styles and displays attention to detail and fine craftsmanship.
