The wooden pendant light: a warm and natural atmosphere!
At once rustic, authentic and vintage, natural wood in the form of scraps or solid wood is a material that instantly catches the eye. Whether above a coffee table or above a headboard in a bedroom, wooden ceiling pendant lights have become a must-have. Every interior, whether Scandinavian, industrial, southern, or contemporary in style, will be enhanced with wooden chandeliers and pendant lights integrated into its space.
Why choose wood to add an authentic touch to your lighting?
There are many reasons for this, but we are talking about a material so noble and versatile that we must write more precise details about it, to help you dress your interior lighting according to the style of your home. Above all, wood is a material that can be shaped as desired, to the great delight of designers! As a result, it can be molded into several looks, to create very varied pendant lamps. Sometimes geometric, but also linear, or even rounded. It can also be found in very original shapes!
- For general lighting: An ideal type of lighting for the hallway and the living room. There is nothing like a wooden ceiling pendant light suspended by an electrical cable to illuminate the coffee table in the living room and everything around it in its entirety! A beautiful wooden lamp model, containing an LED bulb fixed under a flat shade, allows the light flux to be diffused harmoniously. However, if the wooden shade barely controls the distribution of the light source, we recommend a tinted bulb.
- For accent lighting: Want to illuminate any room by focusing the light on a specific element such as armchairs, a bookcase, or a passageway? In this case, opt for a tubular-shaped pendant lamp or a directional spotlight. They concentrate the lumens of the LED bulb on the part to be illuminated, while creating a warm atmosphere and a soft light reflected by the wood.
- For indirect lighting: Wood is undoubtedly the champion of this type of luminosity! Rattan, bamboo, and openwork shades are often woven, which helps soften the beams of light emitted. Lamps that reflect light on the wall are also a good option, in which case the wooden lamp has an inverted bell shade, for example.
What wood for my pendant light?
Depending on whether you want to create dark atmospheres to complement an industrial decor, or use fairly light wood species that match the Scandinavian style, the choice will be quite varied! We can also note the exotic style, which will be enhanced through certain very specific natural woods.
- Exotic woods: Bamboo, rattan, cocobolo, and acacia are types of exotic woods with dark essences. Certainly, bamboo does not come from a tree, but it is a plant with the same aesthetics and the same characteristics in terms of strength and natural atmosphere. Whether you want to add designer lighting to a Japanese bathroom or a Mediterranean living room, exotic natural wood is ideal for your pendant light because it will diffuse a warm white color temperature.
- Nordic woods: Do you want to maintain a zen and Scandinavian atmosphere in every room of the house? Then oak, ash, and birch are woods with colors ranging from beige to light brown and taupe. They are perfect designs for a light source! The direct light can be supported by a gray or matte white metal base to create a light contrast on your pendant light.
- Aged wood: if your decorative island features an industrial design typical of the vintage style, driftwood or brown-colored wood species like mahogany chandeliers and pendant sconces are relevant lighting fixtures to accompany matte black metal tables, an stainless steel or copper bedside lamp, with a light patina effect.
We offer a wide range of wooden pendant lights
Our pendant lamps in natural wood will be delivered to you with an electrical cable as well as a base, allowing for installation by the electrician you choose. Indeed, we recommend hiring an interior lighting professional if you have never installed a wooden pendant light at home. Simply because wood tends to be heavier to hang over the long term than some materials (such as a metal pendant light or plastic...) so you must ensure that the chosen LED light fixture will be properly stable on your ceiling for years.
What bulb for my wooden ceiling pendant light?
You will find, notably in our online store, different options:
- Wall lamps that already have built-in LED spotlights, or a bulb embedded in the structure. Since the lifespan of an LED is approximately 50,000 hours while consuming up to 60% less energy than an incandescent bulb, you will not have to unscrew the socket during its entire lifespan.
- If your pendant light has an accessible socket, you can then vary the types of bulbs according to your desires. Models in tinted, clear, frosted glass, with or without a visible filament... it's your choice! We also offer models with a built-in dimmer. The "adjustable brightness" function remotely via a remote control is so convenient!
