Rustic Lamps | Rustic Desk Lamps creating a warm cabin appeal for any home decor

Rustic lamps can take you back to sweet memories of those summer vacations you had every year in the cabin by the lake or in the woods. There's nothing that makes you feel more relaxed than being surrounded by rustic décor, and that includes lighting up your home with rustic lamps. Rustic décor includes ranch style, cabin style or lodge style themes.

Rustic lighting incorporates natural elements of days gone by. Back then, items were hand-hewn or fashioned from anything that was available, including tree trunks, tree limbs, and deer antlers. Other natural elements such as tin, metal, resin, and wood are part of the rustic decorating trend and work well in every room of the home. Rustic desk lamps, dining room chandeliers, living room sconces, or overhead lighting in a bedroom all add a special touch of beauty to your home, while keeping with the rustic décor.

If you're just beginning to look at rustic lamps for your home or summer retreat, go with your instincts. If you see something that depicts an outdoor or country scene or appears organic in its' styling, those pieces would fit perfectly into a rustic décor. Rustic lighting comes in many different forms, materials and themes, so you'll be able to find something that will fit your décor perfectly.

Themes for rustic desk lamps and rustic lamps for the rest of the house might include:

•  Cowboys and Western 
•  Bears or Cubs · Moose
•  Outdoor scenery – mountains, trees, lakes, and rivers 
•  Fishing 
•  Deer 
•  Roosters

Rustic desk lamps can be fun and whimsical, or more subdued, depending on your personal taste. Yankee Harvest offers a beautiful line of rustic lamps for your home called Smokey Mountain Metal Arts. These rustic desk lamps feature handcrafted steel lamp bases with dimensional trees all around the base and leather-look parchment shades with outdoor designs. These are a great example of combining two different natural elements into your design.

Lighting with a rustic flair comes in different styles to furnish every room in the home. Choose an antler chandelier for the dining room or wrought iron wall sconces on either side of the mirror in the foyer area. An antique-looking handheld lantern lamp for the screen-in porch is a unique touch.

Rustic Desk lamps are complimented nicely with rawhide lampshades, which come in several different shades to match other items in the room. Punched tin is a popular choice for lamp bases in log home décor. Oil lamps that use electricity instead of oil are great for lighting up a rustic office or den. Driftwood lamp bases, along with metal, steel, and antlers, work well with a rustic theme.
