Handmade Rustic Wooden Chandelier - Wood Beam Industrial Pendant Lamp

Product Information

Now, mark the middle of the trusses for where the end of the wood ceiling support will sit. This will be the distance from one wall to your first marked beam center plus 3″ (half of the size of the wood support). Complement the lighting in your dining room using good orientation lighting, such as wall lights. These provide a soft, shadow-free light and can be switched on in addition to your pendant light to avoid strong light-dark contrasts in large dining rooms, which helps to reduce eye strain. You’ve decorated your home in a bright Scandinavian style but you’re still looking for something to bring out the natural character of your home? Perhaps you even live in a modern, minimalistic apartment but want a piece of furniture that brings warmth to the ambience of your humble abode? If any of these rings true, look no further! Wooden pendant lights can be that extra something for your home – for every style of furnishing. That’s because:

However before installing the wedge bolts I had to mark the holes to drill on the ceiling. To do this I made a T-profile from some scrap wood. This way I could use the flat part of the T to place it against the wall and then use the markings on the end of the T to mark the ceiling. This way the beam would be perfectly parallel to the wall. Once suspended from the ceiling, wooden pendant lights often sit just above eye level, so they’re sure to attract attention. This makes them a perfect fit for the dining room – more precisely, for over the dining table. Please copy the voucher code, go to the basket and paste it into the voucher code box. To the Cyber Monday Sale Set the suspension height at 60 – 80cm above the table top. This will allow you to see your fellow diners and not bang your head!

Like I stated before, the beam I am using is a 8“x8″ beam my brother had leftover at his house. But we felt that an 8″x8” beam was too big for the space.

TIP: It would have been easier to use an Oscillating Dremel but we could not find my dad’s tool anywhere, so we improvised. Whether you dine in style under the light of a modern wooden hanging light or in the comfort of a more rustic style, here are some tips for the new wooden hanging light in your dining room: Once one side was cut to the 6″, the other side could be cut on the table saw. This second cut is the 2″x6″ board for the ceiling support. We cut this board to 27″.

To mark your ceiling placement, determine where you want the center of your beam on your ceiling. This placement will most likely be centered over a table or island. Since the entire construction ended up weighing close to 50kg I didn't feel comfortable using normal wall/ceiling anchors. Therefor I chose to use wedge bolts. These bolts, when mounted in concrete, are rated for around 750kg (x4 = 3 tonnes, which I know seems like overkill, but better safe than sorry). Take one of the screws and push it through each of the pre-drilled holes. Make sure you apply pressure so that it indents into the drywall.
