Decorate your home with a beautiful, rustic style DIY chandelier - find the right one for you here
Chandeliers are an essential piece of furniture in any room, but they are also objects that are inevitably found at the center of an area, thus attracting a lot of attention to themselves. For this reason, it is wise if they are chosen in order to enrich the room and are also able to integrate perfectly with its furnishing style.
If the design of the house is rustic, then you can even use rough wooden chandeliers or restore old and simple objects to transform them in an original way. Here are some ideas for creating fantastic, rustic DIY chandeliers:
Multiple repurposed wood planks, which recreate the look of elegant crystal chandeliers. This unit would also be nice outside, under a canopy or marque!
A candle holder chandelier to be suspended above a table. And, it could also work using electric candles or even those giant vintage light bulbs.

When it comes to DIY rustic style chandeliers, somany projects use glass jars to stick the light bulbs into, creating fascinating patterns that always come out of them. In this example, they are hung from a wooden wheel.
But even more often, they are hung from recycled wooden beams, and the cables are wrapped in a way such that each bulb (or jar with the bulb inserted) hangs at different heights.
This is a similar idea, but a little more sophisticated, as the support is a beautifully polished natural wood board.
Another suspender device used are the old wooden ladders, which are held firmly in midair, and parallel to the table. And from the rungs of the ladder, extra-large bulbs (or those put in glass jars) are hung. But vintage lanterns are also a beautiful option!
The ladder used in this way, then, can also be used as a support for seasonal decorations: green branches, flowering arrangemetns, holiday ornaments and any other creation you like.
Cages and strings of crystal pearls: a mix of ideas that remind us of elegant chandeliers and shabby chic inspirations.
You could also be inspired by the thousand ideas for using tree branches in many different designs, with the light bulbs hanging in an artistic way from these whilst it is suspended from the ceiling.

Another idea for an oblong chandelier - perfect to use both on tables and perhaps to light up the worktop of the island in the middle of the kitchen. This one is made with wood and fine mesh chicken coop fencing - ideal for a rustic and farmhouse look.

In a rustic country-style house, like those you see in mountain places, even a pair of deer antler antlers can become objects to decorate, as in this chandelier, instead of using wooden branches.
And horns could also be used to adorn a simple wrought iron chandelier hoop.
