Country Lamps 

Augmenting your rustic or country décor with common table lamps found in those Home Improvement Super Warehouse thingies is anything but easy.  Country style table lamps feature rather simple, yet elegant designs with warm colors and subtle yet class accents and it can sometimes be rather challenging find fixtures crafted with the true essence of this eclectic and graceful style.  However, when properly coordinated with the surrounding furnishings and interior design, these beautiful lamps will ingratiate your home with vitality, elegance, and simple style. 

One of the primary features of the country style light fixture is the use of soft hues and classic materials.  White Alabaster is a common material used in making classic country style floor lamps and other fixtures.  Not only does this material help accentuate and unify the other elements of the lamp, White Alabaster gently diffuses the light and reduces glare while bathing the surroundings in elegant and relaxing hues.  Try coordinating these shades with either the primary or secondary color in the space to help harmonize the area and create a more professional look.  

Country styled light fixtures also tend to feature warm metallic finishes on their bases and accents.  If you are adorning a room with a fireplace, try buying a lamp with a finish that complements that found on your hearth accessories.  Tool sets and fireplace screens are often made with a metal finish (copper, nickel, brass, bronze, etc.) and by coordinating the finish of your light fixtures with those of other decorative elements in the space, you will greatly enhance the aesthetics of the entire area while unifying the diverse elements. 

Country lamps and fixtures look great in cottages, bungalows, and any home featuring a simple design, soft hues, and warm accents.  Coordinating any light fixture with the surrounding furnishings begins by first complementing the other lamps, wall sconces, and fixtures in the area.  They, too, should be country style light fixtures made with the same materials and in the same collection as the lamp. 

Once you have coordinated with the other fixtures in the space, then focus on the shade and the surrounding color scheme.  Remember, you can try matching the primary or secondary color.  Or, where appropriate, you can even create a tertiary color in the design by making sure that the other fixtures have complementary shades/colors.  Next, focus on the finish of the base and coordinate it with other furnishings.  By unifying both the color scheme and the finish with the other fixtures and the surroundings in the room, your country style table lamps will elevate the décor to an entirely new and exciting decorative plain. 

Whatever you do, it is important to know that country lamps and other fixtures from this simple and understated style are anything but plain.  In fact, the subtle elegance of the country style light fixture—when properly coordinated with other fixtures and furnishing in the space—can elevate your home and status as interior designer to unprecedented heights while imbuing the space with style and beauty.
