To Bring The West Into Your Home! |

Western Lighting With
An Old West Lantern
What type of lighting comes to your mind when creating a western / cowboy theme room? The first thing I think of is an old western lantern.
An Old West Lantern
Now it’s too dangerous to have an old gas lantern lit in your home. That's why there are battery-operated lanterns and they look just as good.
You don’t want a new style lantern for camping. Bad, bad idea. Basically what you want is an old copper type lantern that runs on batters.
Place a few of those in your game room or on either end of your bar if you have one and they'll help to create that old western atmosphere you're looking for.
Western Wall Lamps
Another idea is to go with single or double wall lamps. These are lamps that screw directly into your walls.
Depending on the size of your game room, these would be a nice feature. With various styles available, you should be able to find a few that would look great and give you the light you want while staying in the western theme of things.

Wall Sconces
Wall Sconce’s also make great cowboy theme room decorations.
Wall Sconces
They have designs of cowboys or other western features cut into them with a light placed behind it. That way you have sort of a shadow effect.
They won’t do much for actual lighting but they do make great impressions especially on those low-lit game room poker nights.
The West Chandelier
Western Lighting At Its Best.
A rustic chandelier with cowboy cut outs or western paintings on it would look great over your pool table. Both functional and decorative! Or one made of moose or deer antlers would look even better.
Western Lighting At Its Best.
Either way if you have a high enough ceiling and room for it then a western chandelier would definately be the best Western Lighting for any room.
Western Pub Lights And Swag Lamps
If you'd like a modern look then a pub light, otherwise known as the “single swag lamp” would be a great addition to your Western theme room. Usually they're hung above pool or poker tables.
The larger swag lamps are rectangular. They usually have 3 lights underneath one large stained glass shade.
The larger swag lamp will give you more light, which would be better for shooting pool and playing poker. Of course you must consider its size. Being over 30 inches in length it may be a bit too large for a smaller sized room.
Western Table Lamps
Every Room Needs At Least One.
Need table lamps for your bar or sitting area?
Every Room Needs At Least One.
Then a Western Style Lamp with a cowboy, buffalo or boot statue as the base would be perfect.
Or the always-famous simple rustic wood table lamp might be your best choice. That way you stay away from cowboy decoration overkill.
Table lamps complete your game room western lighting techniques. They add the much needed light to the corners of your room!
Western Lighting
Mix And Match Your Way To Perfection.
There are some neat ways to add Western Lighting to a Western Theme Room. And it's usually a good idea to use more than one style of lighting to liven things up!
Mix And Match Your Way To Perfection.
So be adventurous and mix two or three together. But don't go overboard becasue too much of a good thing will ruin a western theme. So always have just enough but not too much Western Lighting in your room!
