When putting together certain elements of design to create a cohesive interior, we spend hours thinking and readjusting the floors, curtains, walls and windows for a better look and feel. This is great, but sometimes we forget certain aspects of design that really can bring out the interior. The one thing that can change the design from great to amateur is your interior lighting plan.
The placement of your light fixtures can change the way your room looks and a thoughtful choice can add aesthetic value to your room instead of merely functioning for practical use.
As a material, wrought iron is a great choice if you want to go for a rustic yet classy design for your interiors. Hand-crafted into various patterns, it can be modern as well as very baroque or classical. These carbonized steel fabrications are a wonderful addition to any interior, making a style statement as well as providing a good source of light. It can also create a specific ambience or atmosphere depending on your mood.
Wrought iron light fixtures include chandeliers and other ceiling light fixtures like pendant lights. These are known for their durability and strength. They make the ideal addition to your exterior lighting scheme as well.
Another great addition to any lighting plan that includes the wrought iron style is the wrought iron wall sconce or wrought iron candle sconces. These lighting fixtures look especially interesting because of the slag content in the low carbon iron that makes up the material. The slag, which has a grain-like similarity to wood, makes the metal texturally and visually unique. Its malleable and ductile nature ensures that very appealing whorls and floral arrangements can be created to give the fixture an artistic appeal.
When choosing a wrought iron style light fixture, keep in mind that it is a heavy lighting accessory and can make you interior clash if you do not plan well. Having furniture that accent this style is integral to the correct application of it. It can be a great piece to add to the interiors or the exteriors of your home, just make sure to outfit the rest of the space accordingly.
