If you have a country home, cottage or any other type of rustic residence then you might be interested in some lighting ideas. One of the more popular types of lighting is the chandelier. While most people think of the chandelier as being too elegant for a country home there are actually many styles available that are perfect for that type of residence. There are several variations of wrought iron chandeliers that lend an air of the southwest to a room. These lighting fixtures can come with rawhide lampshades the compliment the rustic feel of the design.
You can also find antler chandeliers in a variety of styles. A deer antler chandelier also compliments a country home or cottage by bringing a woodsy yet warm feel to the room. Antler chandeliers can be made from deer, elk or moose antlers. You can choose from authentic antlers that have been shed from real animals or from faux antlers which are made to resemble the real thing. The antler chandeliers come in many different sizes depending on the type of antler used. You will want to browse through the types available to find one that fits with the size of your room.
Moose antler chandeliers are often quite large as the antlers themselves are a broader flatter antler than that of an elk or deer. A deer antler chandelier can actually be very delicate in its style if designed in a more flowing upward style rather than a rounder two-tiered style. The type of lights added to an antler chandelier can also create a more simplistic or delicate effect so the chandelier doesn't overpower the room it's in. Choosing the right type of bulb to compliment the chandelier can make all the difference in the type of lighting effect the chandelier has.
There are also other styles of lighting fixtures that can be used in a country home such as natural wood chandeliers. These are chandeliers constructed out of natural twigs or branches to create a woodsy type chandelier. These natural looking chandeliers can be constructed out of real tree branches or synthetic ones. They vary in size and style and can be hung with either bulbs or lamps.
Most lighting fixtures are available in styles that coordinate with each other, such as chandeliers and wall sconces or lamps. You can find these accompanying types of lights in the traditional crystal, the antler and the branch category of chandeliers. Antler lamps have become quite popular as a choice for decorating natural wood themed homes. They are available in many different styles and come as table lamps as well as full length floor lamps. The antler lamp is the perfect complement to an antler chandelier. Nothing brings the feel of a room together more than having coordinating pieces.
