Embrace the Farmhouse Style

If you're going for a farmhouse style, you're going to want the features central to that style within your lighting fixtures. With the farmhouse style, your lighting might be more modern or a mix of both old and new. Here are a few things to look for when it comes to farmhouse lighting & chandeliers:

Repurposed materials: Oftentimes, materials from the farmhouse like wood, galvanized metal, and glass was given a brand-new life as lighting fixtures. Now some of the most popular light fixtures are reproductions of these old-time styles.

Bell-Shaped Pendants: Pendant lighting is a fixture in farmhouse style. The large brims of bell-shaped pendants give you more light with fewer fixtures making them the perfect, and functional, addition.

Edison Bulbs: Edison Bulbs are one of the most popular farmhouse lighting fixtures and for good reason. These lightbulbs sparked a revolution in daily life, especially in rural areas. They are unique, beautiful, and have so much personality. 

Antique Finishes: Old finishes in farmhouse styling are a must. The weathered metals finish off the space and add an extra bit of charm.

Don't Overlook Oversized Pieces

There are many places in your home where you'll be looking to add farmhouse lighting & chandeliers. It's important to measure the space and find the right fixture. Some pieces may be too bulky, and others may be too small. That said, there are many places where oversized pieces will be the perfect fit. Your dining room or above a kitchen island are spaces that could use an oversized piece. One thing to keep in mind is that the fixture you choose would match the rest of your decor and the furniture in the room but shouldn’t be longer than the object it is intended to shine light upon.
