Timeless classic

Massive wooden ceiling chandeliers appeared at the dawn of the 16th century.
Most often, the main ones were tree branches, the edges of which were crowned with candles. Castles of wealthy gentlemen and churches were the main areas of application for unique lighting devices at that time. But if previously wooden chandeliers performed a purely practical lighting function, now more attention is paid to the appearance from the point of view of decorating the room.

The emergence of new practical materials and the development of technology have not weakened interest in natural sources. The tendency to care about the environmental friendliness of surrounding objects and one’s own health is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of wooden chandeliers.

Attention! The variety of forms of wooden lamps allows them to be used not only in traditional rustic styles, but harmoniously introduced into more modern interior trends.

For country and chalets, antique wooden chandeliers are still relevant. Adherents of a brutalist interior can easily assemble a simple chandelier with their own hands, where the frame is a powerful wooden beam.

For lovers of original configurations, the designers have prepared a lot of interesting ideas, many of which can be implemented independently.

Concern about the high cost of a chandelier is justified only when choosing complex configurations that require jewelry processing of the array or where additional expensive materials are present. In most cases, the price is in the budget category.

A variety of wooden chandeliers are shown in the photo:

Peculiarities

The main advantages of wooden lamps are natural material, ease of installation and operation, as well as aesthetic effect. In addition, during the production process such products are coated with special solutions that can prevent deformation of the wood structure and the appearance of harmful insects.

Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of using wood as the main raw material for making lamps.

Pros:

• Environmental Safety. The tree does not contain synthetic impurities that can be hazardous to human health. Minimal modifications occur to the wood during processing;
• When heated, wood releases a number of substances beneficial to the human body. It has a particularly positive effect on patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases. Therefore, we can safely say that wood has a healing effect, especially when it comes to coniferous species;
• You can create a product of any shape from wood. Any design idea will be realized in the skillful hands of a master;
• Wide range of applications. Wood lamps are suitable for use in almost all types of interiors. They can have a wide variety of shapes (round, square, timber-shaped, etc.) and fit into all styles;
• Aesthetic effect. A lighting fixture made of wood always looks good and elegant. Wood looks harmonious next to objects made from other materials, such as plastic, glass or metal. Built-in design elements will not create a feeling of clutter, but, on the contrary, will advantageously hold together the entire design structure.

Minuses:

• Low level of fire safety. Wood ignites easily and the fire begins to spread quickly. That is why wooden lamps cannot be placed in rooms where open flame sources are located (fireplaces, gas stoves, etc.);
• Favorable environment for insects. Indeed, wood is a very attractive material for termites and other small pests;
• High sensitivity of the material to sudden temperature changes and changes in environmental humidity levels. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to install wooden lamps in the kitchen or bathroom.

The disadvantages of using wooden lamps can be minimized by using special solutions that protect the wood structure from deformation.

To avoid various dangerous situations when using wooden lighting fixtures, you must follow a number of simple rules:

• install the electrical appliance at a safe distance from open flame sources;
• the ideal place in the house to place a wooden lamp is in rooms with optimal levels of humidity and temperature;
• Do not install incandescent lamps in wooden lighting fixtures - they can heat up to a critical temperature for such lamps, which can cause a fire. Fluorescent, halogen, and LED lamps are ideal for such products.

Kinds

All currently existing models of wooden lamps, depending on the type of construction, can be divided into three groups: ceiling, pendant and spotlight. The most popular are hanging models.

This is due to the recent growing demand for retro. Wooden ceiling lights are good for large rooms or halls; they will add an element of pretentious elegance to the interior. On the contrary, spot models are ideal for small rooms with low ceilings.

By style, wooden lamps can be divided into several categories:

• East style. Wood or solid wood without any additional impurities is used as the raw material. When constructing the design for such products, correct geometric shapes and lines are used, as well as motifs characteristic of Eastern cultures (Persian, Japanese);

• "Country". Models of wooden lamps made in this style do not have excessive elegance and rich decor. In comparison with other similar products, they may look too simple and even a little rough. However, if they are correctly integrated into a suitable interior, they will look advantageous and additionally create a feeling of comfort and unity with nature;

May be interesting Construction assembly adhesive

• Retro . These can be quite extravagant products, stylized to resemble deep antiquity, or classic models that duplicate the fashion of the past two centuries;
• Modern . Such lamps are created thanks to an advantageous combination of wood and forged elements (grids, volumetric elements or original patterns);

• Chalet . To create wooden lamps in this style, exclusively natural materials are used. Any element in a chalet-style interior is designed to emphasize the unity of man and nature;
• Classic style. Smooth lines and shapes are used here. Such products are mainly made of wood and stained glass. The design can also take the form of a lampshade;

• "High tech". Creative wooden lamps made in this style consist not only of wood, but also metal, frosted glass and other materials that can reproduce the designer’s fantasies;
• African style. Such models are only suitable for creating different ethnic interiors. They look rough inside other styles.

Antique chandeliers

Antique wooden lamps can be divided into groups according to the category of complexity. Some are presented in simple forms and can be made by hand even by novice craftsmen. Others are more complex and require specific woodworking skills and special processing tools.

Studying the wide range of models will give you an idea of ​​the possible options for decorating a room with a wooden chandelier.

Simple geometric shapes connected by chains and decorated with spotlights are quite easy to assemble yourself. The deliberate roughness of a wooden chandelier will look trendy in a village hut or a simple country house.

Another original model of a wooden chandelier, demonstrating the simplicity of a rustic style. The highlight of the lamp is given by light ropes, contrasting in color with the dark wood. The configuration is ideal for DIY assembly. A suitable setting for such a lamp is a country-style interior.

Another example of a chandelier made of wood with a laconic shape, which does not require significant effort to make yourself. A couple of bars, a small piece of chain and 4 LED lamps - and the main part of the kit is already at hand.

Artificially created contrasting veins are part of the designer’s intention. You can assemble a similar model of a wooden chandelier in one weekend. The only thing you should take care of in advance is to find suitable lampshades; classic glass would be inappropriate here.

Working on numerous lampshade strips can take a lot of time and effort, so if you don’t have enough experience, it’s better to purchase a similar wooden lamp ready-made.

A chandelier that harmoniously combines wood, metal and glass invisibly immerses you in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, where you can meet a knight in armor along dark corridors. This lamp will fit perfectly into the interior of a spacious living room in a country house or a cafe, where the theme of antiquity is interestingly played out.

Candle-shaped lamps most closely match the antique theme. A ceiling chandelier made of wood with numerous hanging elements can dispel the darkness even in a large room. If you have experience working with metal, you can assemble such a wooden model yourself.

Another example of the designer’s original concept, where everyday objects become an accent element of the interior. A hunting lodge or a village tavern is a suitable place for a non-trivial wooden chandelier.

Comment! Such wooden models on chains are best hung in rooms with high ceilings. The standard height of 2.5 m will not be enough.

Unique torches are another easy way to find yourself in a medieval setting. The finishing of the wooden lamp with metal and the lamp in the shape of candles fully corresponds to the idea of ​​antiquity.

The wooden chandelier, where the frame resembles the steering wheel of a ship, looks more sophisticated than previous examples. A similar wooden model will harmoniously fit into an interior with a Mediterranean style. It will be difficult to translate the idea into reality with your own hands due to the presence of small parts and glass shades.

Experienced craftsmen will be able to make such a chandelier from wood. The lamp is ideal for interiors where eco style prevails.

Horns of wild animals as the frame of a wooden chandelier - what could be more interesting. It will be difficult to find such a base, so it is better to satisfy the idea you like with a ready-made lamp.

The section of antique wood chandeliers ends with a photo of a unique combined example of the two previously presented models.

Night light

The result of painstaking work is a handmade night light. Six carefully cut pieces of wood are fastened with metal rods and installed vertically. There is a small LED light screwed into the center of this piece. The result is a nice bedside lamp that will delight you with its appearance.

Recommendations for work

The products are made from pre-dried boards. It is recommended to use areas devoid of knots, since when parts are deformed, knots fall out, forming holes. It is prohibited to use wood with traces of rot or mold for homemade products. For sawing workpieces, hacksaws or blades are used to prevent splitting of the top layer. The screws are located in areas hidden from view.

It is not recommended to use incandescent lamps in the design of lamps due to the increased temperature of the bulb and base. To reduce thermal effects, diode lamps or strips consisting of small-sized diode lamps are used. To connect the lamps, copper cables are used; the connection is made with special terminals or metal tubes, followed by protecting the junction with insulating tape.

Floor lamp on tripod

If you like to collect unusual things in your interior, this floor lamp should interest you. A large round lampshade, like lampposts, was placed on a wooden tripod. This instance is notable for the fact that you can adjust the appropriate height for a specific case.

Options from timber and driftwood

You can create wooden chandeliers with your own hands from thick solid timber. To do this, we need LED lamps that are built into the suspended ceiling. We measure the required length of the beam. Cover with varnish or stain. We drill round holes in the timber for the diameter of the lamps. We install the emitters with heat-resistant glue.

To attach a timber lamp to the ceiling, you will need several consoles. If you make a stable stand, the lamp turns into a floor version.

From driftwood you can make unusual DIY table lamps with intricate shapes. To do this, the driftwood is dried and varnished. The base is cut down smoothly or placed on a stable support. A hole for the cable is drilled in the middle, and a base is secured to the top.

A table lamp made of driftwood with one lamp will look laconic. To add more aesthetics to your table lamp, install a lampshade.

Author's design

Such original design works are considered works of art. They are created by artists on individual orders for a specific interior, taking into account the unique color and size of the future product. The craftsmen who develop the design of lamps know how to work with wood, make forged metal parts, weld glass for stained-glass chandeliers, and sculpt and fire ceramic jewelry.

Disadvantages of choice

Despite the extensive list of positive qualities that you will receive when using wooden lighting fixtures for indoor lighting in rooms, there are some disadvantages. The disadvantages of using wooden lamps include the following:

• flammability of the material. The tree has a high fire hazard;
• excessive exposure of products to the damaging influence of external factors;

Note! The most negative impact on wood products is caused by increased humidity in the room, the activity of wood insects, and changeable temperature conditions. Therefore, such products in some rooms will have a slightly reduced service life.

• the need to subject the material to special processing. For this procedure, it is necessary to use special protective equipment (varnishes, solutions, etc.).

Remedy

Therefore, in order to get a truly high-quality wooden lamp, you need to purchase it only from trusted sellers who have a quality certificate. This is the only way you can minimize the negative aspects and operate the lamps for a long time.

Chalet: Mountain Hut

The chalet does not focus on the fine details of Provence. The rough, often uneven forms of solid wood adopted in this style transform the most ordinary things into suspended ceiling chandeliers: old barrels and stepladders, beehives, vegetable baskets, or just a log peeled from bark.

LED horns in a rustic and unpretentious chalet style are made from real horns. They are equipped with lampshades and mounted on the wall as sconces, with built-in optics, horns and fancy rhizomes serve as spotlights.

Wooden chandelier in the shape of horns in the bathroom interior

A room with a large fireplace, indispensable for an Alpine house, can be illuminated by lamps shaped like torches on the wall.

The rustic style is in many ways indistinguishable from the chalet style, and yet it even more openly neglects smoothed forms. Here the wood of the lamps is deliberately processed roughly, and may even turn out to be completely unprocessed.

Retro beauty

Such retro lamps are in demand for interior design in the Art Nouveau style.

Art Nouveau art was introduced to European society by young bohemian artists at the end of the 19th century. It was an explosion of ideas, a reaction to amazing progress. Edison has just invented the light bulb and launched the world's first power plant near New York. With the advent of electric lighting, lighting fixtures also required modernization.

Rectangular wooden chandelier in medieval style

Ceiling chandeliers, table lamps and wall lamps took on new futuristic forms.

This is the atmosphere that the Art Nouveau style brings to the interior. An old wooden chandelier illuminates it from the ceiling.

Only in its forged candelabra are burning not candles, which the founders of Art Nouveau managed to abandon, but electric lamps, for which the designers of that time had not yet managed to come up with a worthy outer shell.

Lighting requirements

When finalizing the room after renovation, special attention should be paid to lighting. After all, the comfort and health of your eyes depends on it. In addition, each room in the house has certain lighting requirements. This must be taken into account when choosing lamps.

Note! The most demanding rooms in terms of lighting are the children's room, living room and kitchen.

Despite the fact that each room of the apartment puts forward its own requirements for the level of illumination, the basic parameters are preserved. The main requirements in this case include:

Light

• safety of lighting devices used in the room. This means that the luminaires should not pose a threat to human life. In this context, it is implied that the product contains no harmful substances released when heated, high-quality and rigid fixation of the device on the ceiling or walls, as well as an assessment of the relationship between the dimensions of the room and the dimensions of the selected lighting device;
• combination with the interior in which the room is decorated;
• the ability to screw modern light bulbs into lamps;

Note! Today, LED lamps are in particular demand; they cannot be screwed into every chandelier or sconce.

• the area that the device can illuminate.

Guided by the above selection parameters, you can select the most optimal and, most importantly, safe lighting device for each room, which fully meets the lighting requirements.

About incompatibility

Imagine an eight-armed chandelier carved from solid oak with forged candelabra hanging on a long chain in a cramped living room of a panel house, and everything will fall into place.

If you still want to decorate your interior with such a wooden chandelier, then let it be smaller, but the laconicism and style will remain.

Advantages of wood

Wooden lamps occupy a special place in the lighting market because they represent solidity, originality and genuine home comfort.

At the same time, many workshops produce unique and inimitable products that will become a real decoration of the room, making it refined and original. And the LED type of lamp will help you save on energy consumption. The following tree species are used to make wooden lighting fixtures:

Pine lamp

• oak. It is used most often, since it is oak that has the most durable properties, guaranteeing durability of such products;
• beech;
• pine. Such products have a pleasant pine aroma, which can intensify when the lamp heats up during operation.

Note! It is coniferous wooden lamps that have the best effect on the human psyche, simultaneously normalizing the emotional state of the owners of the house.

Also, in addition to the above breeds, although rarely, expensive and exotic breeds are used, giving the products additional respectability. These species include wenge and mahogany. Using wood to make lamps has the following positive aspects:

• environmental friendliness, since wood is the most environmentally friendly material of all possible;
• positive impact on the emotional and psychological component of a person;
• flexibility of the material during machining. Therefore, wooden lamps of any type (LED, fluorescent, etc. type) can have a fancy design;
• This kind of lighting fixtures, only by their presence in the house, create additional comfort, a relaxed atmosphere, and also encourage relaxation;
• wood, of all known materials, is closest to nature, therefore it is best perceived by humans, without causing negative associations;
• original and impeccable appearance of lighting fixtures.

In addition, the presence of a wide variety of wooden lamps allows them to be used in any interior of a wide variety of rooms.

Features of choice

The presence of a fairly large assortment makes choosing a lamp made of wood or wooden inserts a rather complicated process. In order for your purchase to serve you as long as possible, when choosing it you should consider the following nuances:

• manufacturer;
• means used to prevent product damage from excess moisture, wood insects, and high or low temperatures;
• The type of wood used to make the device. Remember that each breed has its own unique properties;
• lifetime;
• fastening method;
• the style in the interior available in the room for which a wooden lamp is selected;

Room interior

Taking these criteria into account, you can choose from the available offer a wooden lamp that is worthy of quality and performance characteristics without any problems. But remember that such products require appropriate care, which will allow you to maintain it in the conditions necessary for normal and long-term operation. As you can see, even in a modern house there is a place for a wooden lighting fixture. At the same time, it will look like a worthy element in the interior, harmonizing and complementing the overall idea. And the room itself will become more comfortable. It will be a pleasure to relax in it while recovering after work.

Wood is always in trend

Tree in the house

Today, a wide variety of styles are used for interior decoration of rooms, in which certain materials are used. Despite the fact that today plastic is actively being introduced into our daily lives, wood does not give up its position, still remaining a material in demand in modern interiors. Products made of wood, especially lamps, will always be beautiful and harmonious elements of any interior. Wood gives a room a “natural” look, positively influencing a person’s mental and emotional state.

Recently, more and more people have been striving to draw an analogy with nature in the surroundings of their premises, returning, so to speak, “to the roots.” And the easiest way to do this is with wood. The lamps made of wood are especially beautiful and can become the pearl of any interior.

Selection of lamps and material

Many improvised materials, with all their advantages, have one Achilles heel: they are extremely negative towards high temperatures

Paper, cardboard, thread, and plastic are afraid of it, so it is important that the selected lamps have a low heating temperature. There are two worthy contenders in this category - fluorescent and LED elements

Pros:

• impressive life expectancy;
• minimal heating of the glass part;
• a range of shades allowing you to choose a neutral, warm or cool lamp.

The only disadvantage of energy-saving light sources is the high price, but beauty always requires some kind of sacrifice. It is better to connect the wire to the base electrically, since independent actions by an amateur often lead to trouble. The easiest way to make homemade lamps is with old frames. If they are not there, then for the base you need to choose a durable, but at the same time light material.

Completely unexpected objects can quickly turn into amazing lampshades or shades. The most basic materials are paper and cardboard. Both are easy to work with as the time required to transform them is minimal.

Thanks to their dazzling shine, chandeliers made from metal strips, glass or mirror shards always look superb. Wooden or fabric products are a guarantee of harmony and special comfort. Lace lampshades are elegant and incredibly beautiful.

But the army of potential contenders for the title of chandelier is much wider. With constant consistency, amateurs and professional designers turn to the following items for help:

• jars, bottles - glass, plastic;
• boxes, dishes;
• ropes, beads, threads, braid;
• lace, paper napkins;
• tree branches, small stones;
• toys, balloons;
• CDs, DVDs.

This list can be expanded, since in almost any material that is a candidate for a landfill, a person with an imagination (rich or not) can discern great “potential”. However, if an idea is born in your head, then you need to try to imagine what the room will look like with a new chandelier. You will have to take into account both the interior of the room and the overall style of the house.
