Wagon Wheel Chandelier

Looking at the trends in home décor nowadays, the increasing demand for western furniture is on the rise which only means that western themed homes are steadily gaining popularity as well.

When we think of western, images of the Wild Wild West with men wearing boots are mounted on mahogany colored horses screaming, “Yee Ha!” Yes, that’s right – that is exactly what the western theme is all about. Chairs and tables are made of unfinished wood, bar stools made of weathered iron and such. If this is the current theme in your home or if you are thinking of changing it to a western style, why not kick it up a notch and use a wagon wheel chandelier?

You might be thinking, “are you serious?” and the answer is YES. Wagon wheel chandelier is becoming more and more popular because one, it is very simple that you can even do it yourself and two, it is very cheap compared to glass or crystal chandeliers.

Basically, what you will be using for a wagon wheel chandelier is, as the name suggests, a wagon wheel. On the circumference of the wheel, you have the freedom to attach light bulbs, and other decorations such as horses or carriages.

Wagon wheel chandeliers are commonly placed in study rooms, libraries and porches. Because of their rugged appeal, it is a little bit hard to incorporate if you do not have a western theme at home. Overall though, this type of home décor allows for more light, is very easy to do even by yourself, and is even more fun to decorate with the family. You could either get a wagon wheel from a local thrift shop, or you could also have your own customized by a carpenter. If you are good in woodworks, you can even make your own from scratch!
