If you’re looking for a way to implement a rustic theme with your home decor, don’t discount the power of creative lighting. A custom lighting fixture or two can make any design scheme pop and breathing new life into even the most traditional ideas. Below are a few rustic ideas that will revolutionize your lighting design.

5 Rustic Custom Lighting Ideas

1. Wagon Wheel Chandeliers

An Old West wagon wheel that has been repurposed into a chandelier is a fantastic way to anchor large rooms with high ceilings. Depending on the space, you can either use an actual vintage wagon wheel or have a new piece custom-made to match your decor. Candlestick fixtures can really emphasize the classical look of this unique chandelier, making it functional without compromising its character.

2. Distressed Wall Sconces

Nothing says “rustic charm” like distressed metal. A skilled artisan can create custom shapes designed to mimic vintage sconces, with artfully crafted patinas mimicking the appearance of distressed, rusted metal. For a truly old-fashioned look, outfit your sconces with some old-fashioned Edison bulbs, which give off a softer, yellower light than LEDs or other incandescent varieties.

3. Wooden Table Lamps

Wooden lamps can be extremely versatile, creating an atmosphere of simple elegance or sumptuous luxury. A wood base with minimal carving can make your custom lighting look like a naturally occurring object.

4. Vintage Wine Bottle Lamp

Old bottles come in a variety of colors and feature thick glass that make a fantastic base for a lamp. Because the wiring is visible through the glass, a wine bottle lamp has a rustic, do-it-yourself aesthetic. Depending on the bottle you choose, these lamps can marry rustic decor with a more modern, streamlined design.

5. Tea Kettle Lamp

A skilled custom lighting professional can make a lamp out of almost anything, so don’t be afraid to get creative. An antique oil can or vintage kettle can add a whimsical touch and a little personality to your rustic design scheme. For a truly unique approach, try adding a flame bulb, which imitates the color and movement of old gas lamps.
