Rustic Ceiling Lights

Why We Love Rustic Ceiling Lights

Rustic ceiling lights cast a warm glow over your dining room or living area to remind you of days gone by and help your guests feel welcome in your home. They pair beautifully with traditional and Mission styling, as well as with farmhouse decor, and they can even bring the right touch to an industrial chic room. While they focus attention on your home and your guests, they also provide ample light for dining and relaxing.

Where Rustic Ceiling Lights Work Best

Whether they're illuminating a family dinner in a warm, welcoming dining room or setting the tone of your home in your entryway, rustic pendant lighting and rustic chandeliers add a touch of comfort throughout the home. These lights work beautifully in a farmhouse kitchen over a breakfast nook or eat-in counter, adding a layer of warmth to the practical work lights in the space. Rustic ceiling lights are also great choices in a living room, where one large light fixture can tie together all your Mission or mountain-style decor. Choose matching lights in various sizes to place throughout a great room, or opt for fixtures with electric candlelight bulbs to pair with your own collection of natural candles. Rustic lights are also a welcoming design element in coffee shops, antique stores, and bed and breakfast inns, as well as in residences. Wherever you want to evoke a sense of the traditional and gracious, rustic pendant lighting can be an ideal choice.

Rustic Ceiling Light Designers We Love

Since they fit so well in so many home styles, rustic ceiling lights are popular with many people. Skilled designers at Sea Gull Lighting create openwork pendant lights that give any room a greater sense of space, and lighting from Cerno features natural elements combined with minimalist lines to decorate your home. Look to Feiss for show-stopping rustic pendant lighting and linear suspension lighting that acts as a focal point in your room, or take a traditional turn with fixtures from Savoy House. Finally, Kichler lighting incorporates Edison bulbs and classic lines to create looks that anchor your room with a sense of rustic style.

How to Choose the Best Rustic Ceiling Lighting

Choosing the right rustic ceiling lights for your dining room, living room, entryway, or bedroom involves both aesthetic and practical considerations. Measure the drop from your ceiling to your dining table before selecting rustic pendant lighting to illuminate your dining room. The size of each room and the height of each ceiling also affects your choice — Take the size of each room (length and width) in feet, and convert that to inches to determine the right size for rustic chandeliers. Choosing a lighting fixture that pairs well with your existing furniture and matches your own personal design aesthetic promises that you'll continue to be happy with your selection.

Other Considerations

Consider teardrop pendant lights as an alternative for an entryway or to focus light on a dining table. Mission-style lighting can be striking in the right setting, and track lighting is ideal when you don't have high ceilings to work with. With all ceiling lighting, dimmer switches make it easy to keep your lighting controls within easy reach while changing the mood with the slide of a switch.
