Having recently purchased an old farmhouse (built before the Civil War), I wholeheartedly understand the challenges involved with selecting the perfect chandelier that brings out the beauty inherent in a hundred-plus year-old home. Farmhouse décor is typically rustic, simple and has a unique honesty about it that you won’t find in other styles, and the chandelier over your dining room table needs to let that authenticity shine through, both literally and figuratively.
When selecting anything to fit into your farmhouse aesthetic, look for a more rustic country style, the use of familiar patterns (like plaid), with a heavy emphasis on the craftsman movement. Look for un-shiny metals (flat brass, matte black), focusing on deeper colors like blue, burgundy, or green for a traditional farmhouse style.
In lighting you’ll find that mixed metals (black with a soft gold for instance) work well in a farmhouse setting, while you’ll see an emphasis on vintage designs made new. Traditional cylindrical glass on lighting fixtures may be updated with a seeded (seedy) glass to merge the old with the new or look for updated takes on hurricane lamps to make your brand-new chandelier fit in like it’s been there for decades.
The craftsmen who have designed our favorite farmhouse lighting fixtures have sweated the details – these are all perfect examples of farmhouse lighting done right. Let’s take a look…
With a timeless design that you could see fitting in perfect at a railroad station, the Moxon Place pendant light is designed with a white interior to focus all of the emitted light downward. The gorgeous Weathered Copper finish (also available in Black and Satin Aluminum) helps to make these pendants fit right in, comfortable in their position as the focal point of your next dinner party.
Linear chandeliers are fantastic for rectangular dining tables, but that doesn’t mean that they have to be rectangular themselves. The curved segmented base design made of a square polished nickel tubular frame contrasts perfectly with the black chain and candle holders. Topping off the linear farmhouse chandelier are square, microfiber shades with a satin etched diffuser glass that provides a warm and relaxed tone for your next dinner party.
The clean, simplistic design of the Heywood Mill island light fits in well with a traditional-themed farmhouse design. The Royal Ebony finish is a perfect contrast to the Ivory candle sleeve covers, and Century Silver Leaf covers are also provided to give you a little more design flexibility.
Bringing elegance with a touch of whimsy to your dining room, the Abbotsford Mead chandelier is crafted with fine ceramic-inspired details. The refined Anvil Iron finish adds to the agrarian good looks of this piece, while the white sleeves provide a cozy, vintage candlestick effect.
For an unusual take on the classic orbital design, look no further than these modern farmhouse chandeliers. With no central stem hanging down from the center, round candlesticks in a Natural Brass finish sit atop square pedestals, creating a unique two-toned chandelier.
The combination of the Burnished Chestnut fixture surrounded by a light gray distressed wood clears a path for this fixture to be perfectly at home in a cozy farmhouse environment. Comfortably sized, the Trent Lane pendant light fuses all these looks together to create a stunning centerpiece for your next cozy get-together.
Gleaming with the appearance of a legacy lighting piece, the Fleetwood Cedars chandelier’s hand-painted Heirloom Gold finish is a delight to behold. From the sweeping arms inspired by the pannier of an old-world gown to the decorative, button-like rivets you’ll find the details on this piece to be truly stunning.
Traditional warmth meets industrial minimalism in the Harper Manor chandelier. Complimenting the rustic silhouette of the black inner rings, the rubbed black edges on the faux wood frame add a classic charm that is pleasing to the eye, creating a relaxing ambiance in an otherwise hectic world.
Walnut stain highlights create unique wood patterns abound on this farmhouse chandelier. Finished in a rich, textured Rustic Black on the scrolling arms and candle sleeves you’ll find the natural aesthetic with a feminine slant perfect for your farmhouse home.
This is the epitome of farmhouse style… an elongated authentic wood frame supports scalloped-edge galvanized steel panels that conceal the five lights within. The Marsh Chase linear pendant light is perfectly sized to fit either over a kitchen island or as the centerpiece in your dining room. Pair this galvanized beauty with other country-style accents to create a cohesive down-home style that is all your own.
You’ll find endless charm in this rustic chandelier. Hammered black metal encircles a globe of distressed wood, creating a dining room chandelier that is just as comfortable in a rustic farmhouse as it is in an urban setting. The light wood tones coordinate with a host popular decorating finishes and will make a stunning focal point for your dining room.
Lantern-style fixtures are perfect for a farmhouse setting, and when they come in a gorgeously distressed gray wood frame it’s hard to say no. When you add in the Burnished Chestnut metal finish of the light pod itself, the trendy mix of materials on the Trent Lane pendant light will make your dining room pop. Perfectly sized for kitchen islands or smaller tables, you would want to consider adding two of them above a large dining room table.
