Lodge Lighting Style and Information
Lodges are a
very different and unique style of construction as compared to
traditional homes or even cabins. Although the word "lodge" can
signify varying styles, the overall consensus is that it signifies a
larger style of building, one that can be either a private home or a
commercial motel/hotel. Lodges almost always are built to a more
hand crafted and rustic style with exposed wood beams and oversized
rooms with tall ceilings and massive fireplaces. Most lodges are
designed to be comfortable, laid back and more casual in nature.
Therefore, lodge style lighting needs to likewise be very rustic
and nature oriented with animal or forest motifs. Traditional brass
fixtures or contemporary styles of lighting will look very out of
place. With the large open rooms and wood walls, it is critical
to provide lots of quality lighting that will show off the beauty of
your lodge and provide adequate task lighting. Wood, especially dark
wood, absorbs light and requires at least 50% more output for the same
effect. Lodge or cabin style lights also need to be larger then
normal to fill the tall ceiling and not look dwarfed. Even a
large 36" diameter chandelier will look small on a 25' ceiling.
Ceiling fans for lodges or large cabins have the same requirements and
should share the same rustic and size qualities of the lighting.
