Wooden pendant lights:
Add a little nature Have you furnished your home in a light Scandi style, but are still looking for an object that emphasises the natural character of your rooms? Do you live in a rustic country house style and want to illuminate your rooms with a luminaire that emphasises the rusticity of your living style? Or do you live in modern minimalism and still need a piece of furniture that adds a little warmth to the ambience?
Wooden pendant lights and wooden lamps can be this element. In every interior design style. Because ...
- they bring a piece of nature into the home
- the wood grain is simply beautiful
- Wood always has a warm radiance and is never cold like metal, for example
- The material is versatile and can always be selected to match the room
- After all, a pendant light makes sense in almost any interior - you need light anyway!
And you don't need a lot of wood to achieve this effect. An individual room element can emphasise the cosiness of a room or shift the room image more towards cosiness. Nothing is better suited to this than a wooden hanging lamp. Because it hangs down into the room and is seen.
The different styles of a wooden pendant light
Scandi, vintage, minimalism, rustic country house, new country, design: Not all wooden pendant lights are the same. They are available in oak or walnut, birch or maple. You will find fairly straight specimens or those that look like an old tree trunk. Some look like a branch, others like a cage. Some look like an old door bolt, others ... like the steering wheel of an old sailing ship!
Wooden pendant lights are as diverse as the material they are made of and as imaginative as the designers who take on the light.
Which style suits your personal interior?
Rustic
Are your four walls reminiscent of the log cabins of the first pioneers of the Wild West? Or do you feel at home in a country house interior that could have been lived in by generations before you? Does the maritime world mean everything to you? Or do you love a vintage, used or shabby chic atmosphere? Then you will welcome wooden hanging lamps that exude rustic charm.
These can be pendant lights that use a wooden trunk as a frame, held by black metal rings on equally dark chain links. Wow, almost medieval! Another very rustic-looking element is the wooden beam. But it must not be straightforward, it must spray something raw. The same applies to the wood of cage luminaires.
As you can see: Even in a "style" of wooden pendant lights, there are still groundbreaking differences.
But perhaps you have already decided on your favourite?
Designer
Branches, driftwood or logs can look rustic and emphasise a rustic interior. Or they can be prepared for a modern, design-affine furnishing style. The creative processing of wood differs from designer to designer. Lamps from KARE, for example, use wood in its original form to emphasise an unusual design. Lights from Northern, on the other hand, show wood in a processed form that only a few masters have mastered.
Modern
For modern interiors, wood says goodbye to its original, rustic roots and shows wood in a highly processed form. The straightforwardness of minimalism meets the beautiful texture of the wood grain here. Modern wooden pendant lamps therefore combine the best of both worlds.
Dark woods in modern shapes act as a colourful accent in white or generally light-coloured living rooms. Light-coloured woods, on the other hand, make an already bright room even brighter, lighter and simply tidier. For a carefree attitude to life, you could say.
Which light source should be used in the wooden pendant light?
No matter how rustic the design of a wooden pendant light may be, it is best to use LED lighting technology. This is modern, but also environmentally friendly and easy on the wallet.
But many wooden pendant lights show open light sources? That's right! In this case, it is best to use filament lamps. These are light sources that work with LEDs but look like light bulbs. Because of course you're right: an LED with a ballast and matt bulb or even an energy-saving bulb with a spiral look really don't fit in with the beautiful appearance of your new wooden pendant light.
You don't want to do without dimmable light? Then choose dimmable LED light sources. For luminaires with permanently installed LEDs, however, look for the "Dimmable" line in the product details at Lights.co.uk . You can find out whether the dimmer is included in the "Dimmer" line. If the dimmer is not included, please call our technical advisory service and ask about compatible dimmers. You can find the contact form below.
How is the wooden pendant light best used in the dining room?
Whether rustic or modern: Wooden pendant lights need to be seen to be effective. Thanks to the suspension, they are at eye level - so they are sure to attract increased attention. But while the space for a pendant light in the living room still needs to be found (as ceiling lights are usually used here), another place is perfect for the wooden pendant light: the dining room. More precisely: the space above the dining table.
Dine in style in the light of modern wooden pendant lights. Cosy dining in the light of a more rustic version. You can feel at home with any wooden pendant light, provided it suits your own taste and furnishing style.
We would also like to give you a few tips for your new wooden pendant light in the dining room:
- Select a warm white light. You will find this information for light sources and luminaires with permanently installed LED light sources in the "Light colour" line in the product details.
- Ensure very good colour rendering. This is also a characteristic of the light source and can be found in the article details, as can the light colour. If the colour rendering is below Ra 80, the colours of food are not reproduced well.
- The optimum suspension height is 60 - 80 cm above the table top. This way you can see the other person and don't bump your head.
- The dining area is particularly well accentuated if it is a pendant light that casts a kind of cone of light downwards due to the shape of the lampshade. This gently fades out the surroundings and puts the dining area centre stage.
- Supplement the lighting in the dining room with good orientation lighting, e.g. wall lights. These provide soft, shadow-free illumination of the room and can be switched on in addition to the pendant light to avoid strong light-dark contrasts in large dining rooms and thus relieve strain on the eyes.
