Wrought Iron Ceiling Lights

Wrought iron ceiling lights have been around for thousands of years. It’s an attractive, durable medium, originally used for candle-holders in castles and larger homes. Today’s wrought iron chandeliers are adaptable, durable and versatile and add elegance to most homes.

These rustic ceiling lights can adapt to almost any style, including modern and traditional. Iron is probably one of the most versatile materials for making light fittings that will complement many home decor designs.

They are very durable and will instantly add contrast to any interior. Combined with crystal, wrought iron light fittings are a truly stunning addition to any modern, contemporary or traditional environment.

An elegant ironwork fitting above the table can transform a dining room into a place of opulent splendour. Many people associate wrought iron with the Gothic style and whilst this is true, it is only part of the overall scheme. On its own, a ceiling light made from iron will fit into almost every type of environment.

They are particularly suitable for hallways as they provide contrast and a stunning feature to welcome visitors to your home. A black iron chandelier in the hallway, dining room or living room is a dramatic addition to any home. There is a design available for almost every type of room, available in a multitude of sizes, styles and finishes, including Gothic black, bronze, silver and gold.

There are many rustic designs to choose from, including the famous cartwheel that has been styled on the old-fashioned horse and carriage wheels for centuries. The iron birdcage style again bases its design on the old-fashioned metal birdcages. These designs imitate a cage body, and designers have adapted the design to incorporate scrolled candle arms. Both of these designs could be best described as rustic ceiling lights.

Modern laser cutting techniques are used in making many of the more modern designs. This allows thick metal to be cut to very exacting standards and complex designs to create a more contemporary look. They can offer a sleek modern look and also fit in perfectly with the more traditional home.

Many are now made from steel and not wrought iron, yet feature the wrought iron look. This brings manufacturing costs down and in turn makes them very affordable. As with everything, proportion is important. Take time to choose the right size, and it will add style, charm and grace to any space whilst providing a lifetime of pleasure.
