If you own a country cabin, chances are you want to decorate with a rustic theme. For a woodsy, outdoor look, think farmhouse style lamps, lantern style lamps or anything nature inspired. Many possibilities exist for a custom table lamp with a rustic theme. Here are just a few ideas to help inspire you.

Reminiscent of the early 1900s, a custom table lamp with a glass and metal butter churn base will recall life on the farm from days gone by.

With a wooden base that resembles a candlestick, this custom lamp will fit right in with your rustic country decor, with the right degree of subtlety. Pair it with a plaid lampshade or a solid color shade.

The base of this lamp will resemble an actual oil lantern as was frequently used in many country settings. Constructed of solid brass, this replica will look authentic. However, instead of kerosene, it will take ordinary light bulbs. It's a perfect way to complement your rustic cottage decor.

Imagine the antlers of a moose, whitetail deer, or elk decorating your country abode. The animal antlers are shed naturally, so no harm comes to the animal. The elk shed their antlers in March, then shortly thereafter they are replaced with new antlers. If you prefer a natural look of the forest, a genuine antler table lamp may be the perfect choice.

The antler base may be comprised of five, six, or eight antlers. In addition, you might ask about bleaching the antlers for a custom look to complement your decor.

The base may be ceramic and resemble a wood-burning fireplace. The base will be textured to resemble actual stone. The realistic charm of this fireplace table lamp will add a lovely ambiance to any room in your cabin.

A gallon-size mason jar lamp is both rustic and primitive. Hand painting with a distressed look adds to the old-fashioned appeal. With a mason jar lamp, you can add some country charm to any room of the house.

In addition to the above designs, there are many other nature-inspired styles you might favor. Think birds, pine cones, and anything earthy and rugged.
