Galvanized Pipe Lighting

Why We Love Galvanized Pipe Lighting

What's more industrial than a fixture using galvanized pipe as its structure? The galvanized pipe lighting found in this assortment speaks to a noticeably industrial aesthetic and can be used to decorate both residential spaces and commercial locations. And in addition to a pipe frame, these light fixtures combine contemporary accents and luxurious crystals to deliver a selection you can't help but notice.

Where Galvanized Pipe Lighting Works Best

A pipe light follows a very industrious look and as such, should be placed among other fixtures of a similar theme. In kitchens, both residential and commercial, galvanized pipe fits in elegantly and helps tie a room together. Linear pipe chandeliers are ideal over the kitchen island where they can provide a spread of light for a variety of tasks. In the dining room, a pipe chandelier is a good choice and can even become a conversation starter at dinner parties. Entryways and foyers also benefit from this style of lighting and of course, plumbing pipe is right at home in the bathroom flanking the vanity mirror.

Choices For a Galvanized Pipe Light Fixture

As a somewhat unfamiliar framework for a light fixture, there are only a handful designers who have taken this style and ran with it. Michael McHale Designs presents a luxurious selection of crystal-laden pipe light fixtures ranging from large ceiling suspensions to eye-catching desk lamps. You'll also find minimalist designs that put the light bulb on prominent display in an exposed fashion. McHale's Raw Chandelier is one of our favorites and is guaranteed to grace your dining table and make a statement. Savoy House also successfully accomplishes this look with a collection of multi-light chandeliers you'll enjoy introducing to your entryway. Or, look to the Dansk Bath Bar to complete this particular look in your vanity area.

Choosing the Best Pipe Fixture

As with any selection of lighting, choosing the best pipe light fixture directly correlates to the existing decor in your home and the size you'll be able to work with. These chandeliers, pendants and wall lights are made in a wide range of sizes and you'll need to thoroughly measure your space to determine which size is right for your application. Be mindful of dimensions like height, width, depth and length (especially for fixtures that suspend far from the ceiling), as well as different accents that may change the overall size of the light. You may also want to check the pipe light's required bulb type to understand how bright it will be and to be prepared with the right light bulb at installation.

Other Great Options

Continue to dress up your home with additional lighting fitting an industrial look. Exposed bulb lighting, including sconces, pendants, flushmounts and portable lamps, aim to satisfy this aesthetic by making the light bulb the focal point of the fixture. Nautical fixtures, including ceiling lights, fans and wall lights, combine industrial tones with elements you might expect to find on an old ship vessel that will easily blend in with a galvanized pipe light. With anything you choose, you'll be satisfied with simply giving your lighting scheme a much-appreciated refresh.
