Lamps made of wood

Design trends in interior decoration dictate the presence of natural textures and materials. Moreover, Chinese consumer goods will not surprise anyone. To make the room look decent and original, you can either go broke on a designer decoration or make it your own. Below we will analyze: how to independently make lamps from wood and what nuances you need to consider.

Advantages and disadvantages of wooden lamps

Like any thing, a wooden lamp has its pros and cons. Advantages of natural interior elements:

Natural materials are not toxic unlike plastic, synthetic bases. They do not emit a chemical smell and can be installed in nurseries.
Wood is a malleable material, for its processing you do not need sophisticated equipment, special skills.
Wooden lamps give the room coziness.
No need to buy wooden blanks. To find a suitable piece of wood, you can go out of town.
Wooden lamps are less fragile than glass ones.

But in addition to the pros, there are disadvantages:

First of all, wood is a combustible material. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the insulation of the wiring, in order to prevent the ignition of wooden lamps.
Natural materials absorb and evaporate moisture. With a large difference in humidity, the material may deform, crack.
If handled improperly, mold or fungal deposits may form on the surface.

Features

The main advantages of wooden fixtures are natural material, ease of installation and operation, as well as an aesthetic effect. In addition, such products in the manufacturing process are coated with special solutions that can prevent deformation of the wood structure and the appearance of harmful insects.

Let us consider in more detail the pros and cons of using wood as the main raw material for the manufacture of lamps.

Pros:

Environmental Safety. The tree does not have synthetic impurities that can be dangerous to human health. During processing with wood there is a minimum of modifications,
When heated, the tree releases a number of substances useful to the human body. It has a particularly positive effect on patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases. Therefore, we can safely say that wood has a therapeutic effect, especially when it comes to conifers,
From wood, you can create a product of any shape. Any design idea will be embodied in the skillful hands of the master,
A wide range of applications. Lamps made of wood are suitable for use in almost all types of interior. They can have the most diverse forms (round, square, in the form of a bar, etc.) and fit into all styles,
Aesthetic effect. A lighting device made of wood always looks solidly and elegantly. Wood harmoniously looks in the neighborhood with objects made from other materials, such as plastic, glass or metal. Built-in design elements will not create a feeling of piling up, but rather, they will favorably fasten the entire design structure.

Minuses:

Low fire safety. The wood ignites easily and the fire begins to spread rapidly. That is why wooden lamps cannot be placed in those rooms where open flame sources are located (fireplaces, gas stoves, etc.),
Favorable environment for insects. Indeed, wood is a very attractive material for termites and other small pests,
High sensitivity of the material to sharp temperature drops and jumps in the level of environmental humidity. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to install wooden fixtures in the kitchen or in the bathroom.

The disadvantages of the operation of wooden fixtures can be minimized by using special solutions that protect the structure of wood from deformation.

To avoid the occurrence of various dangerous situations when using wooden lighting fixtures, a number of simple rules must be followed:

install the appliance at a safe distance from open flames,
the ideal place in the house for placing a wooden lamp is the room with the optimal level of humidity and temperature,
Do not install incandescent lamps in wooden lighting fixtures - they may become hot to a temperature critical for such lamps, which can cause a fire. For such products, fluorescent, halogen, LED lamps are ideally suited.

Options in the interior

Wooden lamps are not only beautiful, but also very versatile. They are able to enrich almost any design idea, regardless of the stylistic orientation. Most often they are used in interior decoration in oriental style. They also look favorably in a room decorated in the style of "country" - most often these are country houses or cottages. It uses models with a natural shade of wood and a minimum number of additional design elements made of other materials. The combination of noble simplicity and sophisticated sophistication is a valuable property of wooden lamps.

Wooden lighting devices for creating retro interiors are also in demand. With this part you can immerse yourself in almost any era. Recently, lamps made "antique" in the form of a wheel from a cart, on which lamps in the form of candles are placed symmetrically around the circumference, are gaining popularity. Such decor is used for home decoration in the style of the Middle Ages, as well as for stylized public institutions (cafes, bars, restaurants, hotels, etc.).

All existing models of wooden fixtures, depending on the type of structure, can be divided into three groups: ceiling, pendant and spot. The most popular outboard models. This is due to the recent growing demand for retro. Ceiling lamps made of wood are good for large rooms or halls, they will bring an element of elaborate elegance into the interior. On the contrary, the point models are ideal for small rooms with low ceilings.

According to the style, wooden lamps can conditionally be divided into several categories:

East style. As the raw material used wood or solid wood without any additional impurities. When constructing a design for such products, the correct geometric shapes and lines are used, as well as motifs characteristic of oriental cultures (Persian, Japanese),

"Country." Models of wooden lamps made in this style do not have excessive grace and rich decor. Compared to other similar products, they may look too simple and even slightly rude. However, if you correctly fit them into a suitable interior, they will look beneficial and additionally create a feeling of comfort and unity with nature,

Retro. This can be quite extravagant products, stylized in ancient times, or classic models that duplicate the fashion of the last two centuries,
Modern. Such lamps are created thanks to the advantageous combination of wood and forged elements (gratings, bulky elements or original patterns),

Chalet. To create wooden fixtures in this style exclusively natural materials are used. Any element in the interior in the chalet style is designed to emphasize the unity of man and nature,
Classic style. It uses smooth lines and shapes. Such products are mainly made of wood and stained glass. Also, the design can take the form of a lampshade,

"High tech". Creative wood lamps made in this style consist not only of wood, but also of metal, frosted glass and other materials that can reproduce the designer’s fantasies,
African style. Such models are only suitable for creating different ethnic interiors. Inside other styles, they look rude.

How to choose?

If you still decide to purchase any model of wooden lighting, then when buying you should be guided by the following criteria:

the product should harmoniously complement the interior of the room, where it is supposed to be subsequently installed, and also suit the style. The interior should have several other wooden elements,
The heating parts of the luminaire, be it cartridges, shades or lamps, must be insulated from the wooden base, which may ignite. It is not recommended to install such a device on a wooden ceiling.

If you are not deprived of imagination and you have time for free creativity, then you can independently create a design project for a wooden lamp, and an experienced wood craftsman will translate your invention into sketches into reality. Of course, the services of such a master will be expensive, but as a result you will get a high-quality handmade product that will meet all your wishes.

If you have experience working with wood, then you can try to do such a thing yourself. There is nothing super complicated. The entire workflow can be divided into several stages:

Training. At this stage, all the basic elements of the future design are treated with special solutions and impregnations,
The main stage. The final assembly of the lamp takes place,
Completion. At this stage, the ready-made lighting fixture is fastened.

First of all, you need to purchase the necessary tools for this type of work, solutions for wood processing, and, of course, the source material itself. All this is on sale. It is important to remember that it is necessary to process the details of the future lamp, otherwise such a product will be very short-lived.

Forms

There are many different design options for wooden fixtures. It all depends on the overall style of the interior and the purpose of a particular lighting device. Let's analyze a few of the most popular designs.

Wheel. This type of lamps has been in great demand recently among lovers of antique interiors. Suspended to the ceiling with chains or rails, a cart wheel with integrated candles (stylized bulbs) can immerse you in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. From a practical point of view, such a lamp is convenient in that the lighting from it is distributed evenly around the entire perimeter of the room,
Solid beam with candles. Everything ingenious is simple! The design of this model is another confirmation of this principle. The lamp is a solid log, fixed with chains. Such products are perfect as a decor in the living room, dining room or bedroom. In the kitchen, such a lamp will look too bulky,

Pendant lamp made of dry boards and ropes. Here, several matte shades with a very simple design act as light sources. The basic design of the suspension can be supplemented with any decorative elements, depending on the wishes of the author,
Model made of wood roots. A rather extravagant version of a wooden lamp. The basic materials for creating such products are dry processed tree roots and ropes. This type of ceiling lighting fixtures looks very profitable with a wooden lining. But there is one caveat - it is necessary to use only energy-saving bulbs, since in such a design the direct light source is very close to the tree itself, which entails a high risk of spontaneous combustion,

Wooden beam with pots or lamps. This is another original model of ceiling lights. A rather interesting design solution that suits many interior styles,
A variety of models for children's rooms. Such lamps can be in the form of animals (giraffe, dogs) or any fairy-tale characters.

This is only a small part of all existing ideas of wooden lamps, embodied in life by skilled craftsmen as individual projects or for mass production. And the most important thing is that any of these models can be made copyrighted by making it yourself.

How to choose a tree

To make wooden chandeliers with your own hands, any available species are suitable. Each species has its own characteristics:

Pine lends itself well to processing, has a striped textured base. Since the resin layer divides the annual circles, it is not used for small parts. Resin prevents decay.
The cedar has a textured pink base, all the rings in the section are clearly visible. Due to the density of wood, small ornaments can be cut out of cedar.
Larch is most often used for furniture. They are dense, stronger than pine, not subject to decay. The cut has a brown texture.
Oak has a high density, but can crack. Therefore, it requires some skill to process it. The most valuable stained oak. It has a darker surface, but is difficult to process.

Regardless of which breed to take, the main thing is that the workpiece is well dried. The material should not have grooves from parasites, traces of decay or mold.

The most durable and outwardly original have root areas. The roots have a uniform texture, with no annual rings and bizarre shapes.

Simple wood chandelier

To create a pendant ceiling lamp with your own hands, you can use straight, thick sticks. The main requirement: the diameter should be enough to pull the cord. For a wooden chandelier with our own hands, we need:

thick sticks
LED Strip Light,
water-repellent impregnation.

drill each stick in the middle,
cover with impregnation and dry for 24 hours,
insert the LED strip into the holes,
connect the contacts of each tape to the cable and isolate,

Board lamp

To create a lamp from the boards you will need:

Four board blanks for forming a rectangular frame,
Rectangular mirror as a reflector,
Varnish, glue,
Drill.

On the edge of each plank, we make a groove for installing a mirror element.
From four boards we make a rectangular blank into which we insert a reflector on one side. We fix with glue.
We make a hole with a drill in one bar, insert a cable with a socle.
Varnish or stain.

We make a sconce

For a wall lamp with your own hands, it is better to choose geometrically correct shapes in the form of a rectangle or square. To create a wooden sconce, we will come in handy:

flat rectangular blanks 2 pcs,
bar for a corner,
self-tapping screws
drill,
varnish, glue gun.

Workpieces are treated with fungicidal and water-repellent impregnation. After drying for two days, varnish or paint.
We connect two blanks in the form of the letter "G" with screws.
Between them we install a corner on the glue to give rigidity.
We drill a hole for the wire in the upper part and hold the base.

A sconce made of wood is attached to the wall with self-tapping screws or on a bracket.

Wooden lampshade

It can be made with your own hands from thin branches. Due to the small diameter, they dry faster. Small branches are more suitable for a ceiling chandelier because they have less weight than a beam or solid. With a combination of subtle elements, the lamp has an airy silhouette that does not burden the interior and makes the light diffused, giving chamberness.

For lampshade come in handy:

branches
thick wire
glue gun
secateurs.

We sort out the sticks. Depending on the shape, we select either the same and even, or, conversely, with a large number of bends.
We treat the branches with an antiseptic. If there is no special impregnation, soak for a day in a solution of potassium permanganate, dry at room temperature for a week.
From a thick stainless wire we make a frame. The shape can be any: a classic trapezoid, ball, rectangle.
We attach sticks to the frame with glue. Do not forget to leave a gap for installing the base.
We cover the wooden lamp with varnish. It will protect against moisture and fungus.
We insert a cartridge with a lamp, we fix with a wire.

Options of timber and driftwood

You can create wooden chandeliers with your own hands from a thick solid bar. To do this, we need LED lamps that are built into the suspended ceiling. We measure the desired length of the beam. Cover with varnish or stain. We drill round holes for the diameter of the lamps in the beam. We install emitters on heat-resistant glue.

To fix the lamp from the beam to the ceiling, you will need several consoles. If you make a stable stand, the lamp turns into a floor version.

What you need to make a wooden chandelier with your own hands

First, you need to fully think through the design of the future wooden chandelier. It is important that it harmoniously fits into the overall interior of the room. For apartments with high ceilings, massive and complex designs with additional decor are suitable. In small rooms, a large chandelier will visually hide the space and attract too much attention. For low ceilings and small rooms, more concise models are needed.

A major role is played by color. Wood should be combined in shade with the main furniture (cabinets, dining table) or with one of the walls in the room. To do this, you need a special varnish-paint, which will help to adjust the color of natural wood. In addition, wooden parts must be protected from temperature extremes, dust and other adverse factors, so it is important to purchase high-quality varnish.

To assemble a wooden chandelier with your own hands, you need at least minimal wood working skills. You need to know how to properly saw wood, grind and connect parts to each other.

What tools may be needed when working on a wooden chandelier:

drill,
screwdriver
screwdrivers
long and short ruler,
manual or electric jigsaw,
hacksaw,
markers and pencils for marking,
sandpaper or sanding machine.

It is still necessary to purchase wires, lamp bases, lamps themselves and special mounts. For the decor of a homemade chandelier, metal shades, chains, glass may be required. Wood is not compatible with porcelain and thin plastic.

Drawings of wood chandeliers

The first step in the process of making a wooden chandelier with your own hands should be a drawing. This step will help to build the desired model correctly. It is necessary to calculate all sizes, consider the placement of lamps and fastenings to the ceiling. Below are some ready-made drawings, according to which you can assemble an original lighting device.

A simple model, consisting of 1 wooden board and three shades, chain hooks are fixed on the back at an equal distance Chandelier from 3 boards, all elements are interconnected with small nails and a rope At first glance, the design of a wooden lampshade is complicated in the form of a box, but the details for manufacturing are very simple

Below are drawings of plywood chandeliers. All details can be printed on thick paper and transferred to the material, then cut them out with a jigsaw. Sizes can be any. The structures are assembled without glue and screws, the elements are simply inserted into the grooves.

A cylindrical chandelier is good in that it is possible to place light-scattering material inside (frosted film, plexiglass) A lampshade resembling a Chinese lantern is a good option for a high-tech interior Unusual, but at the same time very simple teardrop shape suitable for the style of "minimalism"

Now you need to cut the corners and make the wheel round.
On the plywood sheet, 2 circles are plotted slightly less than the diameter of the chandelier. It is necessary to place them so that a ring is obtained, that is, 1 circle will be 2-3 cm larger than the other. The ring is cut out with a jigsaw.
All details are polished with a machine.

2 circles are cut from the last pine board using a special crown.
Grind the circles and 1 of them is placed in the center of the wheel.
Now you need to measure the distance between the inner edges of the wheel and the circle and, in accordance with the result, saw 8 rails. Grind and fix each of them, lubricating the ends with glue and screwing long screws on the sides of the chandelier. Then connect the rails with a circle with short screws.
Close the junction of the rails with the middle in a second circle. Using a smaller diameter crown, cut another 1 circle and sand it with sandpaper. Turn the wheel down with the plywood ring. In the middle of the small and large circle, make holes and plan a chop. Glue to fix it inside the small circle and insert it into the big one, after having greased the tip with glue.

From metal, cut a strip equal in length to the diameter of the wheel with scissors. Using a hammer and decorative nails, fix the aluminum strip in a circle, as shown in the photo.
Install lamp holders between the rails and connect the wires.

Screw the hooks to the plywood ring and extend the chain. It remains only to insert the lamps and connect the chandelier to the wiring

To cut corners, you need to draw an exact layout in a circle. The figure is placed on a wooden table or on the floor. Drive a nail in the center. A thread and a pencil are tied to it at the distance where the line should go. Pulling the thread, pencil draw an even circle.
