Designer Lamp

The furnishings of your home has the potential to say a whole lot about your individuality. With a few well-planned alterations, your domestic identity can be transferred from lackluster to extraordinary with very little effort. And the least difficult and least expensive way to carry out this kind of modification is with the inclusion of a designer lamp.

If you own a ranch style or a log home, for example, you may want to think about some type of old-time lighting for your designer lamp. The skilled artisans who create this style of lighting can convert an otherwise regular lamp or other light fixture into a genuine work of art.

Ranch dwellers have recognized for years that antler designer lamps are the ideal option to complete their rustic residence look. Because of the sleek curves of antler lamps and chandeliers, there is really a natural beauty inherent in the antlers themselves that compliments any type of southwestern or western furnishings.

There is a pattern with an antler designer lamp that seems to draw every aspect together and securely establish the room in your home as a classy old-fashioned space. These lighting fixtures have a magic around them that seems to add harmony and emphasis.

An antler designer lamp also compliments many other rustic elements. Within the northwest or north woods, for instance, design antlers might be included with snow shoes and accented with rawhide lamp shades to fashion extraordinary wall sconces. The wood and leather lacing from the shoe along with the buckskin binding and hand sewed shade with its comfortable glow make a perfect tranquility. If you choose to supplement your antler designer lamp with southwestern light rawhide shades or western style dark leather lamp shades, the option is yours and the end result will be spectacular.

Many of the most impressive (and costly) rustic designer lamps and chandeliers are made from deer and elk antlers. These creatures shed their antlers every year following the mating season. Antlers start to develop in the early spring, from a point on the skull known as the pedicle.

Growing antlers are covered by a highly vascular skin known as velvet. This skin provides oxygen and nutrients to the rapidly developing bone. When the antlers reach the correct size, the velvet is shed. Antlers on healthy creatures grow bigger every year. If you can find a good supply of deer antlers, and can manage the price, I seriously recommend that you incorporate them into your designer lamp.

Lastly, please bear in mind the value of having your fixtures installed by a licensed, professional electrician, particularly if the fixture has been shipped, as cables can become unplugged. It is also crucial to take accurate measurements prior to buying or ordering your fixtures. For pendants and chandeliers, knowing the height and width of the light fixture will determine the length necessary for the rod or chain it will suspend from and also the quantity of space required between each light.
