Rustic Pendant Lighting

Why We Love Rustic Pendant Lighting

Light fixtures do so much for the home but often take so little of the credit. With these rustic hanging lights, you will soon notice the difference in how a deliberately selected lighting element can totally change the look and feel of a room. These lights offer ample illumination with a touch of outdoorsy charm. Through wooden accents, exposed bulbs and unique metal, wooden or basket style frames, these rustic pendants immediately enhance the setting with light and insightful design. Whatever the look you are hoping to achieve, these fixtures get right to the point with their eye-catching appeal.

Where Rustic Pendant Lighting Works Best

Rustic pendant lighting helps to expand on the existing décor of your home. These fixtures work well above a table, countertop or other working surface, creating a more cohesive look paired with plenty of functional light. Pendant lighting can also change the look and feel of smaller spaces, such as a grand entryway, a hallway or corridor, taking a seldom noticed area and turning it into a more interesting bit of space. Also perfect for a vacation cabin or lodge, rustic pendant lighting helps you set the mood for your favorite living spaces. Rustic hanging lights are also available for outdoor use--a perfect reminder that it's also important to enjoy time spent in the home's exterior living spaces.

Rustic Pendant Light Ideas for Every Style

The styles of rustic pendant light fixtures run the gamut from simple and unassuming like Currey & Company’s Timpano Pendant to intricate and visually impactful like the PH collection by Louis Poulsen. This collection of lighting elements includes styles that mimic a caged design like the Vineyard Drum Pendant by Troy Lighting as well as more open, exposed lamps and everything in between. MacMaster even offers a brilliant burst of color in the collection Bloom Pendants. Hard lines and soft curves across different selections offer something for just about every style preference. The unique architecture of each individual pendant lamp flavors the completed look of the room.

How to Choose the Best Rustic Pendant Lighting

When it comes time to make your decision on the rustic pendants you will add to your home, remember to take note of the size of the lamp and compare it with the available ceiling space where you plan to hang it. The hardware and framing of the lamps can sometimes add a secondary design touch, whether a bit industrial or perhaps a bit more modern. Once you've given thought to the size and the design, check out your color choices on the hardware finishes and on the shades or light elements themselves. If energy efficiency is of importance to you, consider models that feature an LED light source. Knowing the bulb type upon purchase allows you to ease the installation process by preparing ahead of time.

Other Considerations

These pendant lamps are only the beginning when it comes to enhancing the mood and the lighting for your home. If you like the outdoorsy aesthetics of the rustic pendants in this collection, you may also enjoy the available rustic chandeliers for dining areas and other parts of the home. Benches and other wood furniture pieces can further expand on the rustic air you've woven through your home. Finally, ceiling fans, especially those of the dark wood variety, coordinate nicely with the décor while also improving the air circulation of your home, resulting in a more comfortable climate.
