Ceiling chandeliers are the most flexible negative influence wood insects. It is noteworthy that lamps made of pine needles or pine are less susceptible to damage by insects;

Lamp options

Homemade ceiling chandeliers made of wood can have the most incredible shapes and sizes. After all, there are a great variety of tree species. Here everyone can show their creative talent and create something new and unique.

Various options

In our article we present several of the most popular and spectacular types of ceiling-type chandeliers. But you have the right to modify or improve them so that they are more suitable for your room interior.
Let's look at them separately

Coffee service

Creating holes

This is a very beautiful type of chandelier that can be used in both the kitchen and living room. Here we take a board as a base (ash, birch, spruce or pine is best) and carry out the following manipulations with it:

• drill holes in the board;
• cover the board with stain after it has been sanded. If oak was taken, then you can do without painting and opening it with varnish;
• We take several cups of coffee and saucers to go with them. You will also need wires and rings, an equal number of cartridges and twice as many rubber gaskets;
• make holes in cups and saucers. To do this, you need to use only a special drill for working with tiles or glass;

Pay attention! You need to drill slowly and very carefully.

The chandelier is ready

• Insert sockets with wires into the holes made and secure them;
• Next, we attach the resulting chandelier to the ceiling.

If desired, the lamp can be decorated. But the cups themselves are already an excellent decor. Remember that the main thing is to maintain the style, and not just hang on the chandelier everything that is unnecessary in the house.
If desired, such a lighting device can be hung by chains, attaching rings to the sides of the board.
The most difficult thing about such a chandelier is drilling holes in the ceramic cups and saucers, as well as connecting the product to the power supply.
In general, we can say that such a model is quite difficult to make with your own hands. But don't despair, there are much easier models to implement.

And the driftwood will come in handy

Scheme of cuts

An easier way to create a chandelier is to use ordinary driftwood brought from the forest. Moreover, light bulbs in this situation can play the role of stylized fruits, leaves or other decorative elements. The main difficulty here will be masking the wires.
The assembly of a ceiling-type chandelier made of wood in this case will proceed according to the following scheme:

• choose the branch that you like best with its curves;
• we clean its surface from excess bark, lichens and moss;
• then dry the driftwood well and sand it using sandpaper;
• choose the light bulbs that best match the stick you have chosen. Use only energy-saving and low-heat light bulbs;
• to lay the wires, we make shallow cuts into which they will later be placed;
• in case of failure, all unnecessary cuts can be easily disguised with putty;
• Light bulbs should be placed on the edges of such driftwood. At the same time, they can be placed in lampshades or simply fall from the branches. Both options will be quite original.

End result

Here you can use a wide variety of decorative elements: beads on a string, glass balls from an old chandelier, soft toys and other materials. Thanks to this, your craft will become unique, unusual and inimitable.
You can hang such a chandelier using screws or chains. In the first case, you will receive a ceiling model, in the second - a suspended one.

Other options

Country style

Another popular option is to assemble a lamp in a country style. To do this you will need irregularly shaped boards. They should be processed using the brushing technique and covered with stain. We install lampshades along the edges of the boards and, in fact, that’s it - the chandelier is ready.

In addition to driftwood and boards, you can use any household items containing wooden elements. For example, an old small wooden wheel would be an excellent option. We process it by analogy with other chandelier options:

• first we clean it from dirt;
• then process with sandpaper;
• apply stain.

After these manipulations, we run wires along the inside of the wheel, securing them with clamps. This will make them invisible. Next, we either make holes for the cartridges, or hang them at a short distance from each other.

Wheel chandelier

For ceiling mount For such a lighting device we use a powerful mounting system. This is due to the fact that the lamp will be quite large and weighty. Therefore, it would be best to place the chandelier on chains.
As you can see, almost any wooden object can be used to create a ceiling lighting fixture on your own. It could even be half a wheel, various old wooden lamps, hand carvings from wood, or other crafts. That’s why such lamps are good if you want to move away from ordinary lamps and get something original and unique. In recent years, the handmade style has become very popular. One of its main advantages, along with uniqueness, is the complete environmental friendliness of the manufactured products. And a chandelier made of wood in this case is the best confirmation.
Making a ceiling-type chandelier from wood with your own hands is quite possible, using a wide variety of materials. Don’t forget to treat the wood with special protective agents, and in all other respects, just make your desires and fantasies come true. Be consistent and you are guaranteed an excellent result at the end of the job!

Installation process

Let's prepare the frame of the chandelier - wooden posts. They will be natural in color.

• Let's cut first 4 identical high columns- according to the height of the chandelier.
• Then let's make 8 more - for transverse inserts.

Step 2: We make the frame of the chandelier.

• Let's make the first frame. Let's take it 2 long guides, put them parallel to each other, 2 short - across between them and fasten in all corners construction stapler.
• We also use a second pair of long slats. It turned out to be 2 frames. Using the same stapler we connect them with others cross slats. It turns out to be a kind of cube.

Let's add a designer touch to the frame - we'll lay another diagonal rail through each side of the cube. To do this we will cut one corner of the rail at 45 degrees and apply it to one of the sides for fitting.

Step 3.

• Mark with a pencil and cut off with a jigsaw.
• We attach the diagonal with a construction stapler, as shown in the photo.
• We will do the same for the other parties.

Step 4: Attachment

The model of this chandelier does not include a lampshade, so we take a ready-made blank for the lamp - an original pendant for the lamp. Let's paint it in favorite color and leave to dry.

Step 5.

While the paint is drying, we will make a hole in the frame to secure it to the factory hanger. The diameter of the hole should not be much larger than the diameter of the pipe so that the lamp does not fall through.

But in any case with inside you need to tighten the washer or proprietary limiter.

When the suspension is dry, we fix it to the ceiling, then put on the lamp frame, tighten the limiter and screw in the light bulb.

Master class No. 2. Designer chandelier made of wood

A simple creative lamp made of wood can be used as a night light, if you make it so that little light passes through, or as a chandelier, with fewer stripes.

Materials and tools:

• very thin wooden plywood or thick sheets of paper (the main element of the lamp);
• glue for wood or paper (PVA);
• clamps or clips (useful only during the process);
• a wire with a socket and a plug (if it is a lamp from a general power supply);
• pencil;
• scissors or paper knife.

Chandelier assembly

If you don't have ready-made strips, you can cut them from a piece of thin plywood or thick paper. You can mark the strips with a pencil or cut them straight away, because they don’t have to be the same. Any design solutions are welcome!

Glue the strips together. We make a rim of the desired diameter from each strip and glue it overlapping with PVA or wood glue.

It is better to glue it right away, creating the final design of the chandelier, since it will be difficult to make one shape from rims of different diameters at the end. Insert strips between others and fasten them together with clamps.

• It is necessary to make a mount for the socket and lamp. Use energy saving light bulbs and when the power is on, do not touch the electrically conductive parts of the cartridge.
• Let's cut it out square piece of plywood and make a hole in it for the cartridge. To do this, you need to circle the inner diameter of the cartridge so that later it does not slip through.

• We cut a hole with a knife and fix the cartridge in it.
• We drag the wire through the lamp, taking into account how it will hang.
• Then we fix the cardboard itself with the socket in the lamp using glue, as shown in the photo.

To dry, secure the plywood with two clamps. Let's leave it for a while.

When the glue has dried, remove all clamps. All that remains is to hang the lamp you made with your own hands, where it will delight you every day!

Master class No. 3. Wall lamp made of wood

If you like bright electric light and the romance of simple details, watch this master class. Nothing complicated, but original and stylish. A very simple wall lamp made of wood in a loft style.

Materials and tools:

• wooden bracket (can be purchased at home improvement stores, such as IKEA);
• cartridge with plug and textile cable;
• spray paint on wood;
• old box or newspapers;
• signets.

Manufacturing technique

Take an unnecessary box or spread newspaper to paint the bracket. It is better to do this with gloves so as not to get dirty. Spray paint over the entire surface. If the color saturation after the first painting does not satisfy you, leave the part to dry, then cover it with a second layer and leave it to dry again.

We insert a textile wire into the hole in the bracket and make one turn around the bracket. Textile wire is a unique highlight of this lamp, but you can use any wire.

We insert the other end of the wire into the socket and make zero and phase wiring in it.

We secure the bracket to the wall with screws or dowel nails. Screw the pear-shaped light bulb into the socket and insert the plug into the socket. How lovely! And in the evening, when these light bulbs - single source light, they create a romantic mood of a summer evening.

Master class No. 4: Lamp with wood veneer

Fantastic flexible pendant light wood plywood will serve as a decoration for a dining room or bedroom; its rounded shapes and neutral colors will complement any interior.

Materials and tools:

• a piece of flexible plywood board (its length determines the height of the chandelier + a small piece for fastening);
• 2 wooden hoops (you can use hoops of the same or different diameters);
• office or construction clips;
• glue gun (hot glue);
• long ruler;
• pencil;
• knife or large scissors.

Lamp manufacturing technology

Step 1: Prepare the cartridge mount.

1. We take a hoop of smaller diameter and a piece of plywood board. Place the hoop on the board and trace the inner diameter with a pencil.
2. Cut out a circle (or almost a circle - a piece sufficient to secure the lamp).
3. In the center of the circle, cut out a smaller circle - the diameter of the cartridge.
4. Take hot glue or wood glue and glue the circle with the hoop.

Step 2.

We take the second piece of flexible plywood and fix it on the table for accurate measurements. Take a ruler and pencil and draw parallel lines - approximately 2 cm wide.

But you can make the stripes as wide as you like - narrower or wider depending on your preferences.

We cut the plywood into equal strips. We will need 4 additional strips to adhere the rims to each other. These strips will be shorter than the others (almost half as long).

Step 3.

• We fix 4 short stripes on lamp. To do this, use one clamp to hook one strip on the small hoop from above and a second clamp from the bottom on the large hoop.
• We repeat this procedure on 4 sides, as shown in the photo (in order for the chandelier to be level, the hoops must be positioned strictly parallel to each other).

Step 4.

1. We attach the remaining strips in the same way, starting with four on all sides, and then filling the voids between them (this should be done for overall symmetry).
2. The strips should be equally curved so that the appearance of the chandelier resembles a lantern.
3. Latest 2 strips must be left to hide the clips.
4. We glue them one at a time - each according to the diameter of the hoop. You can glue it overlapping - it will be invisible.

All that remains is to hang the lamp and secure the socket in the hole. The air lamp is ready!

Modern interior design is not only about correctly arranged stylish furniture and the color scheme that predominates in the rooms, but also in proper lighting. Lighting devices allow you to focus on certain areas of the room, visually enlarge the space or, conversely, give the bedroom or living room more comfort and warmth.

Today, crystal wall sconces are no longer a sign of wealth and luxury, but wooden lamps are actively regaining their former popularity. Few people know that in the 16th century, it was structures made of trees that were installed in temples, palaces and houses of wealthy officials. Of course, there was no LED lighting in those days, and instead of energy-saving lamps, the rooms were illuminated with candles placed on wooden branches.

In 2010, a tornado hit New York City, leaving behind mountains of broken branches and fallen trees. Young designers Harris Hine and Amily Visclocky wanted to draw public attention to this topic by creating lamps from found driftwood, but instead revived the long-standing forgotten style. Thanks to this idea everything more people started to engage in such know-how and you, too, can easily create unique sconces ( wall lamps) with your own hands. Photos of ready-made and interesting lighting devices can be found in huge quantities on the Internet, but we will outline some of the features of such designs below.

Advantages and disadvantages of wooden sconces

In addition to their stylish appearance, such lamps can safely be called environmentally friendly. Not only does the tree not emit any harmful substances, it will also, on the contrary, saturate the air in the room with useful aromatic resins, making breathing easier. Another plus is the ease of processing the material. If for the production of plastic and metal structures If special equipment is used, a wooden lamp will require tools that are found in almost every home.

Wood is strong and durable, especially if it is treated with special impregnations.

If we talk about the disadvantages of such structures, then it is worth paying attention to the following nuances:

• Wood burns well, so using incandescent lamps in such designs is not recommended. Otherwise, the contact in the lamp socket may burn out and the entire lamp will burst into flames in a matter of seconds.
• Insects actively attack such lighting products.

• Wood is a hygroscopic material. This means that it accumulates and absorbs moisture well. To prevent the structure from deforming and serve for many years, it is better to use such a lamp at a constant temperature and humidity. Based on this, you can hang a sconce above the bed in the bedroom, but installing such lighting fixtures in the kitchen or bathroom is not recommended.

Healthy! Cedar is the most moisture-resistant species, and additional treatment with special solutions will give it even more resistance to temperature changes and moisture.

As you can see, before working with wood, it is necessary to prepare a design for the future lamp and calculate it in such a way that the lamps are located at a distance from the tree. Let's consider several options for such sconces and ceiling chandeliers.

Wood design options

The sconces in the living room interior, photos of which are presented in the article, look very cozy and homely. For this room, you can create a very stylish lamp that can be mounted on the wall or used as a table night light.

One option for creating a lamp is a sconce made from wood and a broken water pump. The resulting result looks very stylish and will suit lovers of design that includes unusual devices used for purposes other than their intended purpose.

An unusual lamp will be made from the floor of a dried tree trunk, coated with varnish, and pieces of colored crystal glued to it. This lighting fixture can be hung horizontally, vertically or used as a floor lamp-night light.

Stylish chinese lantern can be made from a broken lamp, bamboo and coconut fiber rope. This is a fairly simple design that looks very impressive both in the house and on the porch or in the gazebo. By attaching a wooden hook to the bamboo, you get a multi-functional sconce on which you can hang plants.

You can make a sconce from wood with your own hands very simply. To do this, you will need a wooden plank that can be given any shape. A kind of hook will be attached to it, on which the lamp will be placed. It will require sticks of the same diameter and length, which we will fold according to the principle of a wooden well or house, which children usually build from pencils. The result will be an unusual lamp, as if from ancient fairy tales.

A creative lamp can be made from a pine branch, a garland and a curtain rod holder. This device is also multifunctional, as you can hang decorations, scarves and much more on the branches. The garland's bulbs do not heat up, so this sconce will not light up, and to create it you will not need any skills in conducting electricity.

A wall lamp for a nursery can be made from wooden plank in the shape of a cloud and LED lamps. The resulting night light looks very beautiful on the wall, since the light is scattered as if from under a cloud.

Using your imagination, you can make a very creative lamp for a country house, apartment or garden. You can use everything that, as you thought, has not been used for many years and is practically getting ready to be “thrown away.”

What to pay attention to when creating a lamp

• If you cut wood, be sure to always wear a protective mask. Sawdust can cause an allergic reaction.
• If there is only one light bulb in the lamp, then two wires will come from it. The phase is connected to a switch, from which a conductor will go to the input phase. Zero ( blue) is connected immediately to the input zero.
• If the lamp has 2 or more lamps, then there will be more wires, but the connection principle will remain the same.

The optimal placement of sconces depends on the type of room, for example:

• The height of the sconce above the bed in the bedroom should be 1.2-1.6 meters from the floor.
• In the nursery, it is better to place the lamp so that the child cannot reach the light bulb.
• In the corridor it is recommended to place it at a height of 2 meters from the floor. If the ceilings are low, then you can hang the sconces lower - at a distance of 1.8 meters.
• Optimal height The location of the sconce for the living room is 1.3-1.4 meters from the floor.

In conclusion

As you can see, you can make an unusual lamp for a room from ordinary objects. As a result, you will receive an exclusive and stylish element interior design that will cost you a penny, but will look much more interesting than an expensive metal chandelier.
