Tuscan Lighting Ideas

Tuscan decor shares the same color scheme as the sun-burnt exterior of old Tuscan buildings.


Tuscan d cor is a style of rustic Italian interior decorating. Tuscan lighting is typically defined by bronze structures with off-white or tan lightshades, creating a glow that warms the room. Tuscan lighting can be incorporated into any home to bring a touch of warm Italian d cor to an area. The style is passive and will typically flow with most designs. Having an idea of what style of Tuscan lighting you would like for your home will help when it is time to purchase your Tuscan lighting accents. Does this Spark an idea?


Hanging Lights


Hanging lights or chandeliers are a common Tuscan lighting choice. These lights are best used in the center of large rooms or hung over an area such as a dining room table. A Tuscan hanging light is usually composed of a large bronze frame that holds three to 10 lights with small, sunburnt orange lamp shades diffusing the light's glow. A hanging Tuscan light can also be designed with artificial candles in lieu of light bulbs to bring a stylized rustic design into the room.


Ceiling Lights


Tuscan ceiling lights are often created by simply replacing the current lighting cover with an earthy-tan Tuscan-style lighting cover. This will instantly transform a ceiling light into a warm Tuscan d cor accent. Tuscan lighting covers are typically made from glass and available in all sizes to fit any existing ceiling light. The lighting cover might have bronze accents around the edges, in the center or even composing the parts of the cover that holds it to the lighting fixture.


Wall Sconces


Tuscan wall sconces are commonly used to add Tuscan d cor accents to an entire home because, typically, they are easy to install and relatively inexpensive. Wall sconces are used to light the walls of a home and bring warmth to otherwise ignored corners and nooks. A Tuscan-style wall sconce is typically made of a flowing bronze structure that attaches to the wall with a earthy sunburnt orange paper or glass lightshade.
