Such a wooden chandelier will become the main decoration of the interior. country house, and without a doubt will attract the eye of every guest.

The topic of our article is wooden ceiling lamps. We will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this material both from the point of view of design and from all other sides; we will find out where these lamps can be used, and where it is better to do with other materials.

Finally, we will learn how to make a wooden lamp with our own hands with little effort and time.

What is associated with the tree in the design of the room? First of all, with antiquity, with the Middle Ages. Over time, when people woke up to the singing of birds, and not the noise of cars outside the window; when men were courageous, women did not know the word "emancipation", they were punched in the face for meanness, and life was much simpler and clearer.

That is why wooden lamps most often have deliberately ancient forms. For example, chandeliers in the shape of a cart wheel are very popular.

After all, this is how real, let’s say, indoor lighting systems looked like several centuries ago: an old wheel on chains or ropes was hung from the ceiling, and candles were placed on it.

Why is it convenient to use a wheel with spokes as a stand?

Why did the ancestors stop at this form?

  • With a uniform placement of candles, it gave the same illumination to all parts of the room;
  • The spokes created a minimum of obstruction to light, in contrast to the solid rim.

Modern stylizations have the same advantages; of course, lamps are used instead of wax candles or torches. Most often, of course, also in the form of a candle.

However, we digress. What are the advantages and disadvantages of wooden ceiling chandeliers?

Material Features

Advantages

  • Wood is not only environmentally friendly. Wood not only does not emit harmful substances; on the contrary, for a long time it saturates the air with aromatic resins, which facilitate breathing in asthma patients, relieve inflammation of the respiratory tract ...
    But what can I say - you probably remember how easy it is to breathe in a recently cut down wooden house!
  • Wood is easy to work with which opens up a wide scope for creativity. If for the manufacture of a lamp made of plastic or chrome-plated metal, fixtures that are absent in a standard city apartment are needed, then wooden lamps for manufacturing require minimum set hand tool.

However, alas, not all the features of wood as a material for a lamp are as pleasant:

Flaws

  • Wood is still a combustible material. Placing wooden elements close to outdated incandescent lamps is a bad idea in the extreme; a burnt contact in the lamp socket can also lead to a fire.

  • Wooden chandeliers are attacked by bloodthirsty bugs- woodworms, fungus and other evil spirits.

Please note: softwoods suffer from insects and rot to a much lesser extent.

In addition, for hardwoods, there are antiseptic impregnations, which at the same time reduce the combustibility of wood.

  • Wood is a hygroscopic material. It absorbs moisture from the air; when dried, it can change volume, deform and crack.
    If we want our lamp to retain its appearance for a long time, we will have to provide it with a more or less constant temperature and humidity.

conclusions

The negative features of wood are not meant to discourage you from buying or making a wood lamp, not at all. Again, this is a wonderful, very beautiful and easy to process material.

However, it must be used wisely:

  • Wooden fixtures should be shaped so that all heating elements (cartridges and the lamps themselves) are as far away from the wooden structural elements as possible.
    It is better that the lamps look up: then the upward flow of heated air will not cause deformation of the wood.
    Lamps stand apart, the very style of manufacturing of which involves the use of natural cracks in dried wood. For example, a log hanging on chains with lamps looks great both dry and cracked.

  • For reasons fire safety it is undesirable to place wooden chandeliers under combustible ceiling elements.
    Yes, the same log on chains will look amazing under an equally old-looking one; however, if it catches fire, the fire will spread very quickly.
  • Wooden lamps are perfect for a bedroom or living room.. But in the kitchen with its abundance of steam when cooking or in a damp bathroom, wood is out of place.
    It cracks quickly; besides, raw wood is no longer a dielectric at all.

When the phase is shorted to the wooden elements of the lamp, it is quite possible to get an electric shock. If at this moment you hold on to a grounded pipe or bathtub, troubles can be very serious ...

Homemade

Do I need to say that a thing made by one's own hands pleases much more than a bought one? Yes, your lamp may not be as neatly made as the purchased one; but the joy of creativity is worth it for the sake of it to come to terms with the small flaws of the product.

In addition, you will know for sure that your lamp is made in one copy. Not a single guest, coming to you, will see exactly the same chandelier as at home. Homemade ceiling chandeliers are always exclusive.

coffee service

We will need:

  • Dry board from any wood. The texture of ash is very beautiful; oak can not be stained and varnished. But an ordinary pine, spruce or birch is also suitable.
  • Three translucent coffee cups and three saucers.
  • Three cartridges for a small base with mounts for them.
  • Three matching light bulbs. Preferably - LED: remember the fire safety recommendations outlined just above.
  • Three or six rubber pads. The quantity depends on the method of fastening the cartridges.
  • Meter - two twin-core copper wire minimum section. 0.75 mm is enough for the eyes.
  • A thin chain or twisted cord in order to hang the structure from, for example.
  • Four screws to a ring instead of a hat. It is for them that our lamp will be suspended.

In addition, you need to stock up on a drill with wood and tile drills, pliers and a screwdriver.

Let's get to work:

  1. We process the planed board with sandpaper - at first coarse, then finer.
  2. We drill three holes where the cartridges will be located.
  3. If noble types of wood are used, then the processing of the board ends here. If the tree is simpler, we cover it with stain and after drying we varnish it twice.
    Nitro-lacquer dries in the air in just a couple of hours, so you won’t have to wait long.
  4. Then comes the most dangerous step: we need to drill holes in the coffee cups and saucers without breaking them.
    We use only and exclusively a drill for glass and tiles. Great efforts are unacceptable; we drill slowly, without distortions. The key moment is when the tip of the drill goes through: a little more pressure on the drill at this point will crack the cup or saucer.

  1. We cling to each cartridge of the wire. Until we fasten them together.
  2. We screw the entire future lamp into a single whole. If our cartridges use platforms with holes for screws, we attract them to the board directly through the holes in the saucer and cup.
    If there is a hollow threaded tube and a nut at the end of the cartridge, again we pass them through the cup, saucer and board. A rubber gasket is placed between metal and glass.
    You can cut it yourself from an unnecessary bike or car camera; you can use a ready-made gasket of a suitable size from any plumbing repair kit.
  3. We screw the screws with rings into the back of the board.
  4. We connect the cartridges in parallel. You should not leave twists wrapped with electrical tape: we will carefully make even the side of the lamp that no one will see. Use a block to connect the wires.

  1. The block is fixed on the back side of the board in any way - with a drop of glue or a screw. A piece of wire is clamped in it, which will be connected to the wiring.
  2. We cling to the rings on the back of the chain or cords; their other end is attached to a hook in the ceiling. The wire is started along one of the chains. Light bulbs turn on.

Press the switch and enjoy.

As you understand, the forms that wood chandeliers can take are limited only by your imagination. Let's show some more original designs.

Sailboat made of driftwood and TV packaging

This original lamp is made of oddly shaped driftwood picked up in the forest. The author kindly posted a photo of his creation to the network.

The design, of course, is not a monument to fire safety. However, remember that LED lamps are extremely economical and practically do not heat up. If so, the risk of fire is reduced to nothing.

Chandelier from dry boards and rope

Here, two ready-made matte shades are used as light sources. The most simple and inexpensive. Everything else is the author's improvisation.

What is most striking is not that the lamp is made by hand: as you can see, there is nothing structurally complex in it. It is surprising that the author of the work managed to see beauty in such a seemingly worthless thing as an old board. And show this beauty to others.

Please note: in this design, it is also worth using only and exclusively energy-saving or LED lamps.

Incandescent lamps, especially high wattages, will pose a very real fire hazard.

Beam with pots

And such ceiling lights are not mass-produced. Looks very original. To drill the bottoms of the pots, you also need to use only and exclusively tile drills. In addition, incandescent lamps should not be used here either. Even the weak ones.

Hollowed out log with soffits

Another living nightmare of a fire inspector. However, here, too, the use of light sources with minimal heat release reduces the risk of fire to nothing.

Despite the exaggeratedly simple appearance of the lamp, it is difficult to call it made in five minutes on the knee: it was certainly difficult to hollow out a log inside.

Conclusion

If you like the wooden ceiling lights described and shown, great. Even better, if you have your own, original ideas. As you can see, they can be the most unexpected. Good luck in creativity!

All photos from the article

Over the past few decades, there has been practically no design trend left that would not use wood products to one degree or another. The lamp in general and the chandelier in particular are objectively one of the most noticeable interior items, therefore hanging chandeliers made of wood, are deservedly considered perhaps the most popular trend at the moment.

Features of ceiling lamps made of wood

Any wooden object in the interior of the room on a subconscious level is associated with warmth and comfort. Traditionally, home-made wooden chandeliers are used in all directions of oriental themes, where the geometric correctness of the lines and at the same time warmth natural wood contribute to a relaxing holiday.

Such a direction as country is generally impossible without the use of natural materials. The rural style at all times was characterized by the use of slightly rough unusual forms. The massive appearance of such lamps creates a feeling of reliability.

Antique wooden chandelier is associated with medieval romance and knightly tournaments. Inclusions of forged metal elements give this design an exquisite lightness and unique flavor.

Advantages of wooden lamps

  • The first thing that catches your eye is the naturalness of such a chandelier.. It is difficult to find a more environmentally friendly material. Moreover, being constantly near a heat source, wood releases into the atmosphere beneficial to health. essential oils and micronutrients.
  • Processing technology this material, as a rule, is not very complex. The assembly of relatively simple wooden structures is available even to children.

  • Chandeliers for summer cottages made of wood are deservedly considered almost the most best solution . After all, the cottage itself is designed for a country holiday closer to nature.
  • Not the last role is played by the price of the structure.. Even if you use, the total cost of a homemade chandelier will be affordable for almost any budget. But as a rule, all costs end with the purchase of cartridges, light bulbs and wires, and a few boards or twigs can always be found in any country house.

What are the disadvantages of such lamps

  • Opponents will immediately point out to you the fire hazard of such a chandelier. There is certainly some truth in these statements, but with proper installation and the use of LED or other slightly heated light sources, you are practically in no danger. In addition, on sale there are a lot of natural impregnations that prevent ignition.

Important: such home-made lamps, no matter how you impregnate them and no matter how competently you collect them, it is highly undesirable to place them near sources of open fire. For example, next to the fireplace or in the barbecue area.

  • Like it or not, wood is a living material and very hygroscopic. Wooden chandeliers for a bath look great, but it is better to mount them away from showers and steam rooms. Constant changes in temperature and high humidity are far from conducive to the preservation of the massif. In this case, a chandelier under a tree is more suitable.
  • Another serious problem of this material is the high probability of damage to the array. different kind pests. But as mentioned above, no one bothers you to impregnate your chandelier with natural protective compounds.

A few words about self-assembly

Do-it-yourself antique chandelier made of wood, the thing is quite real. In essence, all you need is a great desire and a standard set of carpentry tools, which is in almost every home.

To stand out from the general mass of apartment design, many decide to create unique interior. Often wooden lamps help to achieve the goal. They stand out brightly against the background. modern options, attract the attention of guests and are inexpensive. Moreover, such chandeliers, sconces or table lamps can be made with your own hands. Consider the advantages of wooden lamps, what types of design are there and what you can do yourself.

Advantages and disadvantages of wood

Wood has been used in the interior of premises since the appearance of man, it has not lost its relevance even now. Among the main advantages, we note two points:

  • Environmental friendliness. Unlike plastic shades, wood does not emit dangerous fumes, even when heated. Moreover, coniferous materials can fill the room with a pleasant aroma. In some cases, this property helps fight colds.
  • Ease of processing. It is difficult to find a more malleable material for self-production than wood. A person has a wide scope for imagination, which will help to realize a few elementary tools. And the finished product will be able to surprise everyone who sees it, it will compare favorably with the factory options.

Still, there are good reasons why manufacturers rarely produce wooden lamps. The disadvantages include:

  • combustibility. No matter how the surface is impregnated, the tree can still flare up, especially if you use incandescent lamps.
  • Pests. For metal, corrosion is terrible, and for wood - various insects. A finished chandelier can be undermined by bugs, fungus and other unpleasant organisms.
  • Hygroscopicity. It is not recommended to install a wooden lamp in the bathroom. This material swells, deforms and breaks down over time due to the fact that it absorbs moisture. To some extent, special impregnations will help protect against water.

The most resistant type of wood for fixtures is needles. It is less prone to insect attacks and copes better with moist air.


We select the style of the lamp in accordance with the interior

Homemade wooden chandeliers fit well not only in the spacious royal halls, but also in an ordinary apartment. Currently, there are several interior styles that get along well with such lamps:

  • Country. The main idea is to create a simple rustic coziness. Pine needle lamps are perfect.
  • Provence. Here you need to work hard, because such chandeliers are made from high-quality processed wood so that its texture is clearly visible. The image is not complete without sophisticated lampshades.
  • Oriental. To create such a decorative lamp, use unusual materials, such as bamboo or vine.
  • Chalet. These are rough simple lamps, the basis for which are old wooden things - dry barrels, baskets or a trough.
  • rustic. This style is not much different from the previous one. The only thing that can be noted is the more messy forms. Lamps are made from untreated wood.
  • Modern. Square strict chandeliers made of thin slats can complement the interior of a living room or dining room.

Options for self-manufacturing lamp

The tree gives practically unlimited possibilities for the production of unique lamps. You can use all the materials at hand, even the waste that you meet in the forest. To work, you need simple tools:

  • a hammer;
  • screwdriver / drill;
  • nails and screws;
  • glue;
  • materials for impregnation;
  • dye.
  • Finished wooden products

One of the most popular options for do-it-yourself wooden lamp bases is finished products, for example, a cart wheel. In the past, such chandeliers were hung in taverns, and material could be found at almost every step. Now such a product is available for purchase only in a specialized store.

For making original wooden chandelier take a base wheel, a certain number of lamps, depending on the dimensions of the product, chains for fastening and materials in order to hide the power wire. Small touches will help to create an additional feeling of immersion in antiquity - you can upholster the tree with forged parts. This lamp is suitable for wooden house and will fit perfectly into the overall interior.

If you can't find a wagon wheel, you definitely have regular wooden clothespins. From them you can make a chandelier, sconce or table lamp. Some models will require glue, others only time and enthusiasm. As an example for the base, you can use a metal mesh, roll it into a cylinder large enough to fit a lamp inside. From the outside, attach clothespins, without glue and nails, just putting them on the base. You can attract a child to work, and the warm light from the finished lamp will be a pleasant reminder of the time spent together.

You can make a lamp out of wood using ordinary hangers. Just stack them on top of each other so that there is room for a lamp in the center. And to make the design look more attractive, rotate each subsequent hanger a little around its axis. Only glue is needed for fastening. Do not doubt that such a lamp self made will not leave you indifferent.

In a similar way, you can independently come up with ideas on how to make a lamp out of wood. Anything will go into business: old kegs, a ship's steering wheel, popsicle sticks and much more.


Natural materials from the forest

If for the previous options you had to buy the basics, then in this section we will consider wooden blanks that can be found in the forest. As an example use birch bark instead of a lampshade for a lamp. It will dim the lights and make the atmosphere in the room more romantic and calm. The only thing to remember is that such material is flammable and it is better to use LED lamps.

If fantasy ends, and a lamp for a garden or local area is still needed, take a stump and gouge a hole in it. Place a kerosene lamp in the finished niche or run a wire for LED lamps. Can be attached to the top solar panels and then there will be light in the yard, even when it was turned off in the house. Such a lantern is weatherproof and looks interesting under the snow.

For some, driftwood is rubbish, but for us it is the basis for a lamp. Of course, the tree must be sanded and varnished or painted in advance. At the top of the structure, fix one or more spotlights with a thin base. To get a subdued light, you can use the lampshade, which was written about above, or make it out of paper, fabric. Even if you decide to make another similar lamp, the finished products will definitely have a different unusual shape.

Conclusion

Having collected a bundle of thin twigs, you can make an elegant lamp at home. Glue the sticks to the round ring pointing them vertically down, alternate different lengths to make the finished chandelier look even more unusual. Install a light bulb in the center and such a lamp can be hung in the kitchen or dining room. If you cut an arc (for example, from an old bucket), then branches can be glued to the outer surface. Such homemade work will serve as a wall lamp in the hallway.

There are no limits to fantasy. You can independently come up with a unique decorative design for the lamp and assemble it yourself. The finished design will serve you for many years, make the evenings cozier and warmer.

Modern interior design is not only about properly arranged stylish furniture and color scheme, which prevails in the premises, but also in competent lighting. Lighting devices allow you to focus on certain areas of the room, visually enlarge the space, or, conversely, give the bedroom or living room more comfort and warmth.

Today, crystal wall sconces are no longer a sign of wealth and luxury, but wooden lamps are actively regaining their former popularity. Few people know that in the 16th century it was structures made of trees that were installed in temples, palaces and houses of wealthy officials. Of course, there was no LED lighting in those days, and instead of energy-saving lamps, the rooms were lit with candles placed on wooden branches.

In 2010, a tornado hit New York, leaving behind mountains of broken branches and fallen trees. Young designers Harris Hine and Amily Visclocky wanted to bring the subject to public attention by creating lamps from found driftwood, but instead revived a long-forgotten style. Thanks to this idea, more and more people have started to engage in such know-how and you too can easily create unique bras ( Wall lights) by hand. Photos of ready-made and interesting lighting fixtures can be found in huge quantities on the Internet, but we will announce some of the features of such designs further.

Advantages and disadvantages of wooden sconces

Beyond Stylish appearance, such lamps can be safely called environmentally friendly. Not only does the tree not exude any harmful substances, but, on the contrary, it will saturate the air of the room with useful aromatic resins that make breathing easier. Another plus is the ease of processing the material. If for the production of plastic and metal structures used special equipment, then a wooden lamp will require tools that are in almost every home.

Wood is strong and durable, especially if it is treated with special impregnations.

If we talk about the shortcomings of such structures, then you should pay attention to the following nuances:

  • The tree burns excellently, so the use of incandescent lamps in such designs is not recommended. Otherwise, the contact in the lamp socket may burn out and the entire lamp will flash in a matter of seconds.
  • Insects actively attack such lighting products.
  • Wood is a hygroscopic material. This means that it accumulates and absorbs moisture well. So that the structure does not deform and serve for many years, it is better to use such a lamp at a constant temperature and humidity. Based on this, it is possible to hang a sconce over the bed in the bedroom, but it is not recommended to install such lighting fixtures in the kitchen or in the bathroom.

Healthy! Cedar is the most moisture-resistant breed, and additional processing with special solutions will give it even more resistance to temperature extremes and moisture.

As you can see, before working with wood, it is necessary to prepare a project for the future lamp and calculate it in such a way that the lamps are located at a distance from the tree. Consider several options for such sconces and ceiling chandeliers.

Wooden design options

The sconces in the interior of the living room, the photos of which are presented in the article, look very cozy and homely. For this room, you can create a very stylish lamp that can be mounted on the wall or used as a table night light.

One of the options for creating a lamp is a sconce made of wood and a broken water pump. The resulting result looks very stylish and will suit design lovers, in which there are unusual devices that are not used for their intended purpose.

An unusual lamp will turn out from the floor of a dried tree trunk, covered with varnish, and pieces of colored crystal glued to it. Such a lighting device can be hung horizontally, vertically or used as a floor lamp-night light.

A stylish Chinese lantern can be made from a broken lamp, bamboo, and coconut fiber rope. It's pretty simple design which looks very impressive both in the house and on the porch or in the gazebo. By attaching a wooden hook to bamboo, you get a multifunctional sconce on which you can hang plants.

You can make a wall sconce made of wood with your own hands very simply. To do this, you will need a wooden plank, which can be given any shape. A kind of stick will be attached to it, on which the lamp will be placed. It will require sticks of the same diameter and length, which we will fold according to the principle of a wooden well or house, which children usually fold from pencils. The result is an unusual lamp, as if from old fairy tales.

A creative lamp can be made from a pine branch, a garland and a cornice holder. Such a device is also multifunctional, since you can hang jewelry, scarves and much more on the branches. The garland bulbs do not heat up, so such a sconce will not light up, and no skills in conducting electricity are required to create it.

A wall lamp for a nursery can be made from a wooden plank in the shape of a cloud and LED lamps. The resulting night light looks very nice on the wall, as the light is scattered as if from under a cloud.

By connecting your imagination, you can make a very creative lamp for a country house, apartment or garden. You can use everything that, as it seemed to you, has not been used for many years and is practically preparing for a “ejection”.

What to look for when creating a lamp

  • Always wear a face shield when sawing wood. Sawdust can cause an allergic reaction.
  • If there is only one light bulb in the lamp, then two wires will go from it. The phase is connected to the switch, from which the conductor will go to the introductory phase. Zero ( of blue color) connects immediately to the leading zero.
  • If there are 2 or more lamps in the lamp, then there will be more wires, and the connection principle will remain the same.

The optimal location of the sconce depends on the type of room, for example:

  • The height of the sconce above the bed in the bedroom should be 1.2-1.6 meters from the floor.
  • In the nursery, it is better to position the lamp so that the child cannot reach the light bulb.
  • In the corridor it is recommended to place at a height of 2 meters from the floor. If the ceilings are low, then you can hang the sconces lower - at a distance of 1.8 meters.
  • Optimal Height the location of the sconce for the living room is 1.3-1.4 meters from the floor.

In custody

As you can see, you can make an unusual lamp for a room from ordinary objects. As a result, you will get an exclusive and stylish interior element that will cost you a penny, and will look much more interesting than an expensive metal chandelier.
