Southwest Aspen Log Lamps Add A Touch Of Nature To Your Home

A southwest aspen log lamp lets you bring an authentic piece of the Old West into your living room, bedroom, or dining room. They are constructed of a carefully selected, unique piece of wood from a tree that grew in the shadow of the Rockies. The rustic, natural charm of a lamp made from this wood is only enhanced by the extra details that many craftsmen and women add to their creations. Details are included that speak of their love for the American southwest and the vibrant, unique culture of that corner of the globe. Creating items of both beauty and utility for your home, aspen log lamps make wonderful use of southwestern wood. The artisans who create them select pieces with interesting bends, knots, and occasionally branches to give a living, rustic touch to your light fixture. Log sections are chosen that will produce a stable and sturdy lamp. The smooth beauty of the wood is revealed when the bark is removed. Next, a process of polishing and finishing is applied to ensure that your lamp not only looks elegant and rugged, but will last for many years of use and display. 

These lamps are available in many different shapes and sizes and to fit every decorating and lighting need you may have. Along with larger aspen log floor lamps, are smaller aspen lamps that can sit on your night stand or end table. All feature an aspen base for greater stability, and may include one of many different decorative or practical flourishes as well. Some artisans may mount a deer antler on the base to evoke the spirit of the southwest even more strongly, while others add shelves or other practical details to make your aspen log lamp a convenience as well as a light source.

Aspen is a light colored but warm wood, and fits into many different decor styles and color schemes easily. It is unique to understand that since each piece of aspen wood is different, no two log lamps will ever look alike. One of the things you can look forward to when using a southwestern aspen wood lamp in your home, is finding one with a shape that fits into your design. A good way to bring even more southwestern charm to your interior decor is by combining an aspen log lamp with a rawhide lampshade. These two textures compliment each other and create a connection to the southwest that is unmistakable in any setting. Leather lampshades are also available and bring t mind, images of hunters in buckskins, swift Native American archers galloping alongside mighty herds of buffalo, and the untouched wilderness of the early American west.
