Ceiling lamps are nothing new, but they’ve come a long way since their medieval ancestors. A flat hanging wooden cross with four candles, hardly holds up against the reinvented creations of today.

Pendant lamps not only provide light, but bring together elements of fabric and wood — and sometimes both. Lights Up! showcases a faux wood pendant lamp that seamlessly brings together both of these elements.

 

If you’re looking to work in real wood into your room, consider this pendant lamp from West Elm. At only $150 it’s sure to satisfy your budget.

 

Many friends confess that they feel uncomfortable mixing different wood grains together. My advise: dive in, your missing out on an entire world of possibilities.
