Rustic flush lighting used in the right rooms warms the soul for somebody coming in from the elements outside without sacrificing an open, spacious feel. Cabin and Lodge aesthetics are created with help from floor to ceiling natural wood and warm lighting. Everything in a cabin or lodge in some way reflects the environment you’re in – trees, mountains, wildlife. Warm lighting accented by nature is a classic way to set the rustic mountain mood of your dwelling. A comfy cabin with just a hint of woodsmoke in the air needs ample lighting in order to keep the darker wood stain from feeling stuffy and enclosed. Rustic Lodge Flush Mount Lighting usually has its wildlife scenes silhouetted on the outside of warm frosted glass.
You’ll have to decide where to use flush lighting. How open the ceiling is, and your budget, will help you decide on the Great Room lights. The most popular option for a large reading room or fireplace lounge is a rustic chandelier with gnarled antlers, wrought metal fixtures, and suspended by chains, with an open view that accents the beams and gables of warm, reddish wood.
This isn’t the right option for every room in a lodge, though. Flush lighting can be used for rooms with lower ceilings, hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Flush lights come down about 4"-6" on average, but some styles can be as prominent as 20". Most styles are round or polygonal, and feature the classic rustic imagery that puts you in a warm mood. Think about the décor in the lower eye-level of the rooms when selecting rustic flush lighting: area rugs, fur coverings or pillows, and log furniture. In most cases, the absence of clear glass on fixtures makes occasional dusting the only cleaning needed.
