Wrought iron lighting- not limited to the rustic only

Wrought iron lighting looks wonderful not only in country homes to add that authentic rustic touch but also in city homes. If used judiciously in modern homes they can look extremely decorative in gardens, walkways, halls, corridors, patios and even informal living rooms. The designs come in a huge range varying form Gothic, classical, modern, minimalistic and contemporary to rustic to suit every taste and environment. These also come in different kinds of finishes to lend authenticity to the look of this type of lighting. While the dark finish looks dramatic and adds depth to the décor, the lighter finishes are less heavy on the eye.

Wrought iron is an extremely malleable material and no two products are going to be the same even the factory produced ones. The results are artistic to say the least and you are bringing home expressions of art when you get lights made of wrought iron. They come in various styles amongst which chandeliers, table lamps, candle holders, wall sconces and outdoor lights are the most popular.

Although chandeliers are normally made of crystal, wrought iron chandeliers too look very impressive and bring a touch of drama to the room. Since it hangs from the ceiling, it can either be the focal point of a room or can be used to create a specific area of lighting like over the dining table or even in a corner of a room to create an intimate space. Even wrought iron chandeliers can be very intricate and delicate.

Wrought iron lights look wonderful in outdoor settings; it’s as if the outdoors and these lights were made for each other. No other space offsets the beauty of rustic lighting more than an outdoor area. The beauty gets intensified if there is plenty of foliage and the setting is verdant green. These lights can be wall lamps or hanging lanterns. The hanging lanterns will typically be made of a four-sided glass panel enclosed in a wrought iron frame. These look lovely on walkways or porches. Wall lamps can be singular or in pairs.

Wrought iron billiard lamps bring attention to a pool table and also provide focused lighting to players. The look can be vintage or contemporary. The lamps can have angular or round lampshades and these can be singular, in pairs or in threes and fours.

Wrought iron lighting is not limited to rustic lighting fixtures only and it can be used beautifully in contemporary homes, both indoors as well as outdoors.
