From gooseneck barn lights to enamel-dipped pendants, these fixtures blend utility and charm, grounding modern rooms with rural roots while elevating comfort and function.

Explore expertly made farmhouse lighting that pairs artisan detail with everyday resilience.

Design Principles That Make It Feel Effortless

• Honest materials: steel, enamel, and clear or seeded glass.
• Workwear silhouettes: domes, bells, and straight-sided shades.
• Balanced scale: larger shades for open rooms, compact sconces for task zones.
• Soft, layered glow: ambient overheads, task pendants, and accent wall lights.
• Muted finishes: matte black, warm brass, weathered galvanized, or soft white.

Where It Belongs (Hint: Everywhere)

Farmhouse lighting thrives in kitchens, mudrooms, porches, and hallways—anywhere function meets hospitality.

1. Kitchens: dome pendants over islands for clear task light without glare.
2. Dining: wide shades hung low to gather people and soften the room.
3. Entryways: compact sconces to welcome without overwhelming the space.
4. Outdoors: wet-rated goosenecks that stand up to weather and look better with age.

Material Matters

Our lights are hand spun out of 18 gauge steel, since only the strongest materials can be trusted to tell the strongest stories.

This heft resists dings, keeps shapes crisp for decades, and gives finishes a richer depth—ideal for spaces that need both beauty and backbone.

Finishes and Bulb Pairings

• Matte black + clear LED filament: graphic contrast with vintage warmth.
• Galvanized + soft white LED: coastal calm and durable practicality.
• White enamel + frosted LED: clean, diffuse light for food prep and reading.
• Brass accents + dimmable bulb: adjustable mood for dining or living rooms.

Quick Planning Guide

1. Define the job: ambient, task, or accent.
2. Measure scale: width of fixture ≈ one-third to one-half of surface width (island/table).
3. Set height: pendants 30–36 inches above counters; sconces 60–66 inches from floor.
4. Layer light: pair a broad ambient source with focused task points.
5. Specify durability: choose wet/damp ratings for porches, baths, and laundry rooms.

2700K–3000K for warm, welcoming light that highlights metal and enamel finishes.

Can these fixtures be used outdoors?

Yes—select damp- or wet-rated models for porches, garages, and coastal areas.

How do I maintain steel shades?

Dust regularly, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, and avoid abrasives to preserve the finish.
