Antler Lighting

Lighting is something that can make any occasion look even more beautiful and special whatever the eve may be Christmas or Diwali. For those who want to give their home a different look can bank upon an appropriate lighting system.

The dictionary defines an ‘antler’ as one of a pair of hornlike, bony, deciduous growths, usually elongated and branched, on the head of a deer, moose, elk, caribou, or other member of the deer family.

The more authentic the lighting system is the better a look it gives to your house.

Decorating terminology can be daunting. Everyone has a preconceived definition of terms used to describe home décor. Early American, Colonial, Victorian, contemporary, and the list goes on, each one supposedly designating a very different style. A large number of top quality antlers including antler chandeliers, antler lamps and antler furniture are available these days. But quality plays an important role. While making antlers, all wires should be run through the center of the antlers and junction boxes should be concealed. No screws or wires should be visible.

Every antler chandelier comes with an attractive light socket cove made from real antler. This conceals the fixture, preserving the natural appearance of the antler light right up to the bulb. When shopping for antler lighting it is important to make sure that the whole entire fixture, not just the components, are CSA/UL approved to comply with the US and Canadian building codes and regulations.

Rustic lighting:
Probably one of the most misunderstood words in home decorating is “rustic”. Visions of log cabins, rough-hewn wood beams, rural farmhouses or lakeside cottages immediately jump to the fore when something is called rustic. Those are rustic, but so are many other styles and decorator choices. Using rustic pieces adds warmth and individuality to every conceivable decorative style. A touch of humor or a reminder of the important things in life can give heart to any room, any home. Rustic can be used with contemporary, country, classic, and art deco. Chances are, rustic decorating will add charm and uniqueness to any style. People are drawn to certain styles, and there is something rustic to fit them all. Have fun with it. Incorporate those rustic touches to put an individual signature on a home.

Antler lighting is a good option to give your cabin or your home a special touch and make you feel even more special being there.
