Wooden elements - furniture, accessories, interesting details and other decorations - are increasingly becoming indispensable and favorite items in modern interiors. One of these are wooden lamps, which can become a highlight of the design of a country house or apartment. Whether it be a chandelier, a wall sconce, spotlights or a floor lamp - you must choose a device based on the style and characteristics of the room.

Pros and cons

Indisputable advantages of wooden lamps:
• environmental friendliness of raw materials, the product is absolutely hypoallergenic;
• ease of handling and installation;
• presentable colorful design;
• high strength.
Among the disadvantages: combustibility of the material, the need for a certain temperature and humidity parameters, the possibility of damage by insects.

To avoid the effects of negative factors, the product is coated with a special composition. Impregnated with the necessary substances, the tree is not subject to delamination, ignition, deformation and damage by insects.

Tip: it is better to use LED or energy-saving lamps, as they heat up less during operation.

The best option in the interior for a wooden lamp is a living room or bedroom. In rooms with high humidity (kitchen or bathroom) it is still better to use appliances made of other materials. Wooden products in a humid room require more thorough care, but still lose their original gloss over time. Moisture may dry out or swell.

For any design, you can choose a lighting fixture made of wood, but there are some subtleties that you should not miss.

Wooden chandelier in a classic interior

Smooth lines, openwork elements, three-dimensional patterns - all this is characteristic of the classics. In such an interior, a wooden chandelier with carved details will harmoniously look, shades that can be made of frosted glass. The color of the product should be combined with furniture.

Hi-tech wooden table lamp

High-tech is, above all, simplicity. The lampshades are made of frosted glass, and the shapes are as simple as possible, without complex patterns and ornate patterns.

For a country style interior

For a room in a country style, modern or chalet, the most ordinary wooden lamp is perfect. The basis of these areas is convenience, simplicity and the absence of unnecessary embellishment. A chandelier in such an interior is a peculiar symbol of rustic hospitality, without parade and arrogant chic. The product can be complemented by forged elements or chain.

Scandinavian style

Laconic or more original forms of wooden lighting fixtures will look equally harmonious against the backdrop of the Scandinavian interior. A special atmosphere of nature is created by table lamps with a leg in the form of driftwood. Definitely, such an object attracts the attention of others and brings a twist to the interior.

How to choose a wooden lamp?

When choosing lighting, you need to consider the features of the room:
1. The dimensions of the room. In a large room, a small chandelier will not be appropriate, and vice versa, a compact room should not be cluttered with a voluminous floor lamp or a large chandelier.
2. Do not forget about color harmony. The shade of the lamp should be combined with wallpaper, curtains and furniture.
3. For the bedroom, living room, dining room, wooden ceiling lights are suitable, and while in the bathroom it is better to use waterproof wall-mounted appliances. In large rooms it is possible and even reasonable to combine lighting.

In addition to products from manufacturers, handmade lamps are becoming increasingly popular. An experienced professional will be able to custom-make a lamp of an interesting shape to your taste. Products can be made not only from natural wood. Also often use wood-like materials.
Caring for such lamps is very simple - just wipe them periodically with a damp cloth. However, do not use a soap solution - it forms a film on the surface, which makes it dull.

If you plan to put a similar lamp in the kitchen, choose products from a rod or bamboo.
In the interior of a private house or a country cottage, you can make a unique chandelier to order or make it yourself. In this case, there is no limit to ideas and fantasies! Carefully think over a design that will harmoniously fit into the interior and become an integral part of home coziness and comfort.
