Rustic Lighting

Rustic lighting is a very important element in achieving the warm atmosphere a cozy lodge or cabin has.

Consider the material and color of your lampshades to get soft lighting.

The location of your light source, the type of bulb, material of your shade, and the overall style of the lamp all contribute to the mood that the light creates.

It is amazing how different a room looks just by moving a lamp to a different location.

Metal lamps with opaque shades and wall sconces add the charm and cozy lighting you want. Having these types of rustic style light sources will go a long way in helping you achieve a cozy room.

Lodge decorating is successfully done when you achieve the feeling of being stranded in a snowstorm but still feel safe and warm in your "cabin in the woods".

It's not that you have to live in the middle of the woods or be in a snowstorm to be able to experience the cozy cabin feeling - it can be simply created by your own imagination and creativity through your decorating techniques.

Rustic lighting is an element that works in lodge decor and country style decorating.
