35 Modern Farmhouse Bedroom Lighting Ideas

Outfitting the bedroom with farmhouse pieces will transform your sleeping quarters. After all, the perfect combination of vintage-style home decor and furniture will convince your brain you've woken up in the countryside each morning, even if you live in the city. But when it comes to bedroom lighting, the options can seem too numerous to handle. Do you want to go simple with a dimmable wall sconce or over-the-top with a beaded pendant light? Are you a chandelier kind of person, or do you live in a hot climate, necessitating a ceiling fan? No matter where you fall on the spectrum, these modern farmhouse bedroom lighting ideas are sure to inspire you. But first, let's talk farmhouse trends for 2021 (and don't worry we've moved past the infamous mason jar).

What's hot in the world of farmhouse style? Well, rumor has it that modern farmhouse is on its way out, but we beg to differ. There are plenty of design elements that are completely timeless. Plus, there are trend-led accents on their way in that totally fit in with this rustic aesthetic.

Shiplap wall treatments, barn doors, and farmhouse sinks aren't going anywhere — we promise. But the design trends to watch out for include lighting that resembles weathered vases made of natural materials such as stone or concrete and pale purply-pink hues that have influences in the fashion scene. Thankfully, there's also been a surge in warmer, neutral colors — the ultimate shades required for a farmhouse look. Now on to farmhouse lighting.

Few decor choices feel as delightfully vintage-farmhouse as a crystal chandelier. When surrounded by rustic accents — like everything in this French cottage bedroom from Seeking Lavender Lane — clear glass chandeliers feel elegant, not glitzy. Pair it with muted wallpaper to further tone down the glamour.

Bring some old-world charm to your bedroom with a traditional fixture that has clean lines. It'll add depth and dimension next to the bed. Studio McGee's swing arm Paulo Bracket is ideal for bringing light to your sleeping zone without taking up any space on the nightstand.

Love the look of a crystal farmhouse chandelier but lack ceiling height? A flush-mount option, like a faceted crystal light, adds just a hint of glam. Against the backdrop of a whitewashed space, like in Love Grows Wild's farmhouse bedroom refresh, this nod to elegance perfects the airy space. Go with Edison light bulbs to complete the look.

Nothing ruins your carefully curated farmhouse vibe like an ugly, builder-grade ceiling fan. Choose a model that perfectly complements your space, like this rustic option.
