Western Light Fixtures for Unique Home Decor

Why not indulge the cowboy or lone ranger in you? You don't have to live in the wild west or even know how to ride a horse. Instead, simply surround yourself with western style. Western light fixtures, furniture and accessories can convey a rustic, outdoorsy charm and appeal.

Western home decor, including western light fixtures, is characterized by the use of rustic materials like wrought iron and leather. They may be aged to look weathered. Colors tend to be darker and warmer. Hues of red (ranging from yellow to orange to dark red) are used frequently to convey the idea of a western sunset. Other colors include earth-tones like browns, beiges and blacks. Wood stains tend to be dark: deep brown and mahogany is common. Natural items play a big role in Western home decor. Rock, wood, metal and bark are common elements in a Western-themed interior.

Western light fixtures use one or more of these design elements to convey a sense of authenticity. Light fixtures can be used as subtle additions that complement the room around it. Light fixtures may also be a focal point. This is particularly true of light fixtures that incorporate artful motifs. Western light fixtures may comprise an artist-designed outdoor scene featuring forests, wildlife, horses or cowboys. Western light fixtures come in various styles that will suit any room in the house. Start with just one room, or re-decorate an entire home in a western motif with these light fixtures:

* Chandeliers. Forget crystal. Western chandeliers are works of art in metal, glass and even wild-game antlers. In fact, antlers have been used for hundreds of years for fashioning light fixtures. Of course, the earliest versions used candles instead of light bulbs. Chandeliers featuring outdoor motifs work great in entryways and dining rooms. Antler chandeliers make a catchy addition to a rec room, game room or home bar. Choose flickering light bulbs that mimic candle light for extra authenticity.

* Sconce lights. Sconce and wall light fixtures add ambiance to any decor. Fixed with a western motif, sconce lights are beautiful as well as practical. Try a metal sconce instead of the traditional frosted glass. Extra adornments like leather and wood add to the western feel.

* Lamps. Lamps are always practical because they can be moved easily when necessary. They can provide more direct light to parts of a room where it's really needed. They also create mood when overhead lights are turned off. Western-style lamps may be made of wood, wrought or brushed iron or metal, and even real horse shoes. Lamp shades may be accented with rawhide or leather.

* Ceiling lights. Even ceiling lights can contribute to the western feel of a room. Frosted glass with outdoor elements convey a more formal picture. Wood and metal components and western motifs create a more casual, cabin-like atmosphere.

Western light fixtures help to create a room that is cohesively-themed. They will tie your western home decor together to make a picture that is warm and inviting. Your home will be reminiscent of days when gallant cowboys rode gracefully into the sunset.

Wall decor for mission style apartment?

I am looking for a piece of wall art to go on the wall behind my couch. Preferable in a 24x24 size. My living room has black leather furniture, mission style medium oak tables, and a large medium oak trunk/coffee table. I have accents of black throughout the room. Wall sconces and clock are of brushed bronze and dark amber glass. I would like a stretched canvas or painting type artwork over the couch. I could really use suggestions for colors and links to actual examples of artwork to go with my decor. Thanks for all your help!
Xiomy- that is so funny! That is actually one of the pieces I was contemplating! So nice to have my choice confirmed. Thanks!

That first suggestion wouldn't go with Mission Style. Abstracts like that were not compatible with the "arts and crafts" naturalistic ethic of the Mission movement. Most artwork from that era was either "plein air" realistic landscapes, scenes from romantic legened or designs that looked very much like Japanese woodblock prints. They almost always used plain, almost hand-made looking wide dark oak frames, no glass and colored or no mattes. Here is one example of "plein air":

This artist's work below would be perfect but is very costly -- but you might find something similar for less somewhere:

here are some Japanese landscape woodcuts:

I also think the paintings of Gustav Klimt look wonderful with Mission colors and decor:

As you can see, most of these links are at www.art.com. You can get virtually any size of any of their thousands of art prints and most car be ordered on a canvas transfer. You can do a search on "arts and crafts" and it will show you some other art from the Mission era such as designs by Charles Rennie Macintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright.

But another source people often neglect is small galleries and art fairs in your own city. You can often buy original landscape or still life paintings and prints from the artists themselves that will be unique and may be actually valuable some day.

I also recommend browsing through books on "Mission Style" in bookstore home design or architecture sections. This will give you a good idea of typical artwork of the era.
