Elegant Wood-Infused Lighting

Craftsmanship has been something people have taken pride in since the dawn of the industrial era. It’s importance has been reiterated in history as the foundation of manufacturing and producing a quality and memorable product.

A Timeless Design

In our continuing effort to creatively blend rustic and modern styles, we hit upon the captivating combination of warm woods and sleek metal such as this elegant Brunson LED Wooden Top Cord Pendant Light

These lights are manufactured right here in the USA. Incorporating wood into a lighting fixture instantly captures attention and blends a contemporary style with a touch of legacy. It is important to note that different wood types and finish style make a significant impact in the mood, aesthetic, and tone of the lighting. One incredible benefit of wood-accented light fixtures are the natural variations and grain differences shown in the wood. This offers authenticity into the design and sets our Barn Lights apart from other lights that are out there.

Wood-Fused Lighting Compatible with Any Space

The burgeoning trend weaves together the artistry of artisan wood craftsmanship with the luminous embrace of lighting integration. This innovation shines brightly, as wood-infused lighting fixtures harmonize effortlessly within any sanctuary. In certain spaces, discord may arise when an ill-suited color or shape clashes with the decor’s essence. However, the wooden element of the fixture offers a soothing neutrality, gracefully restoring balance to the aesthetic.

This natural and environmentally sound wood integration compliments a variety of interior styles from modern, rustic, mid-century, and contemporary making this style of lighting a viable choice for a cozy and warm atmosphere.

Indoor Use Only

Extreme temperatures, sun exposure, ice, snow, dust, and high humidity will play a major role in choosing the right light fixture. Indoor light fixtures are not designed for exposure to these elements and moisture can cause damage to the finishes of the wood.

Additionally, cold-hot and wet-dry cycles will cause the wood to go through a warping process that will ultimately result in cracks and shrinkage in your wood-fused light fixture.

Wood Infused Lighting Fixture Types

  • Wall Sconces – These are the most prominent style of wood augmented light fixtures. The wall sconce light fixtures are installed against a wall and require their electrical wiring to run behind the wall and into a junction box. 
  • Ceiling Mounted – Fixtures that are installed directly to the ceiling and come in many forms such pendants and chandeliers. This type of fixture also has better light direction depending on the use case. Wood pendant lights are the most common found in ceiling mounted fixtures.

American Made – The Artisan Process

The first step is to mill the selected piece of wood that will be used for the chosen fixture. Milling is simply the process of shaping the raw materials using professional machinery. This is where the wood starts to take on a shape. Furthermore, this shape is dimensional, meaning the wood can be accurately measured in three dimensions.

The next stage is Barn Light’s signature handcrafting. Each piece is fitted right down to the custom order specification. This of course requires further milling adjustments with carving, sanding, drilling, and cutting. The fun part comes when the two components, wood accent and the shade, fuse together to create the extravagant light fixture of your dreams.

Conclusion

Wood-Infused lighting embodies a blend of timeless craftsmanship with rustic and modern design. These are a versatile choice for anyone looking to enhance their space with both warmth and elegance.

The natural variations in the wood add organic authenticity to each fixture, ensuring that no two light fixtures are the same. Wood-accented light fixtures serve as a testament that the return to the artisan roots of hand-craftsmanship works in both function and artistic style. If you are ready to transition your space into a more organic and warm feel for your lighting, Barn Light Electric has your custom light fixture front and center!
