Juxtaposition in Interior Design Using Shed Antler Lighting

2017-08-23T10:00:00.000-06:00

The juxtaposition of disparate design elements in interior decorating is at an all time high. No longer are we satisfied with a single unified style. Our homes represent experiences, ideals, and lifestyle choices. Designers should attempt to create a rich tapestry with pieces that reflect the client's personality. Relying on neutral colors, contrasting contours, and mixing handmade and manufactured goods are key elements to success in this eclectic trend. Using shed antler lighting is one way to make this succeed.

Keep it neutral. Attention to color is essential to good design. Colors make statements and decisions about color are often tedious and painful. Therefore, when choosing contrast items, it is important to stay neutral. A deep, dramatic wall color paired with glass, bone, or natural wood is always complimentary. Shed antler lighting accents work well here.
Check your edge. Our eyes move around rooms the same way they move around paintings. Strong lines lead us through space. Add interest to stark modernism with organic shapes. Rounded stone, animal skins, and carved wood layer well in modern design. The sweeping curves and sharp points of shed antlers provide a unique contrast to strong straight lines.
Makers matter. A space dominated by one maker always appears shallow. Living in a catalog spread is highly impersonal. Unique spaces combine elements from many sources. Try to find items that represent a range of production levels. If the sofa is name brand, add custom end tables. Pair imports with locally crafted items. And seek unique artisan alternatives to standard fixtures.
You can find it all at The Peak Antler Company. They work with individuals and designers in a unique custom approach to home decor, specializing in shed antler lighting and antler furniture. As you begin your next interior, focus on juxtaposition in design. Consider custom accents, handmade pieces, and natural artifacts. Look for a dynamic artisan to help with the project. The reward for successful implementation of this trend is a space rich with story, warmth, and complexity.

Are You in Love With Mountain Modern?

2017-08-17T14:07:00.000-06:00

While many people love a rustic cabin feel for a mountain getaway, a new trend in interior design that updates this look is the mountain modern trend. Mountain modern is a striking mix of contemporary lines and colors and classic mountain accent pieces that highlight one's love for nature without being overbearing. Just clicking through a few of these images on Pinterest should give you a clear idea of what mountain modern is all about. The way one blogger from Mix and Chic describes one modern home in Utah is this,

"The neutral palette of whites and grays were inspired by the surrounding landscape. Instead of taking the conventional rustic style approach, the designers decided to make it more modern and family-friendly."

Some characteristics of mountain modern homes are neutral colors, large and plentiful windows, open floor plans, and accents and textures from a more traditionally rustic approach. Some examples of popular accents used to transition a modern home to a mountain modern home are antler chandeliers, mounted antlers, accent furniture or throw pillows made from hides or animal pelts, and occasional Native American influence in art and textiles. A mountain modern home is a perfect design choice for a mountain home or a place with a view of the mountains to highlight nature's beauty and bring that beauty into the home intentionally with the right design choices. If you are looking for an antler chandelier with mountain modern flair for your home, The Peak Antler Company has many unique options for you. In our mountain modern series, we have scratched the traditional antler chandelier design and replaced it with modern lines and lights. For more information, contact us at The Peak Antler Company today.

Looking for the perfect decor solution for your rugged country home or mountain cabin? A homemade antler chandelier or additional antler furniture is the perfect option to spruce up the design of your home. Many professionally made antler chandeliers provide a convenient, beautiful way to decorate, but they can cost considerably more than the do-it-yourself option. Many creative homeowners opt use a build their own antler chandelier kit in place of purchasing the more expensive pre-assembled option. This is a completely feasible way to create a homemade, rustic chandelier, but keep a few things in mind before you head out to build your own.

Materials You Need

Naturally, you will need antlers to build your own antler chandelier. In addition, your new chandelier will need wiring and lighting elements in order to work properly. Many hardware stores provide an antler chandelier kit in one unit, making it easy to get all of the parts in one place. In terms of tools, you will need a drill to create holes in the antlers, and screws sturdy enough to securely attach all of the elements to each other and to the ceiling.

Pre-Made Antler Chandelier Kit

Constructing a homemade antler chandelier may seem like a large, almost impossible undertaking at first glance. Some may prefer to buy a do-it-yourself antler chandelier kit, but these are potentially more expensive and more time-consuming than building one from scratch. Although these pre-made kits can seem like the best option, doing it yourself is just as easy and may save you some precious change.

Time and Labor

Creating your chandelier takes a surprisingly small amount of time and energy. Once you clean your antlers, you will want to arrange them in your desired pattern. Once you have chosen your design and drilled the holes for your wiring to go through, simply attach all of your elements using secure anchoring screws and run the wire. Once finished with these steps, follow the instructions with your chandelier kit to suspend your chandelier from the ceiling and you are good to go.

Antler Art: 3 Projects That Enhance Your Home's Natural Beauty

2017-08-13T09:00:00.000-06:00

Every year, home design trends create an array of new colors, accessories, and furnishings. It often feels impossible to keep up with these fast-changing styles. However, using authentic elk, moose, and whitetail antlers in antler art it's possible to create a beautiful, artistic motif that never goes out of style.

Sculpted Mirrors Mirrors have a wide-range of purposes. They give the illusion of greater space and light when placed in strategic areas such as entryways, living rooms, and hallways. However, when enriched with natural decor such as real antlers, these mirrors are transformed into timeless art pieces both you and your guests will appreciate.

Rustic Lighting Every room in your house has unique lighting needs. What works great for large, open rooms isn't always best for smaller bedrooms. Regardless of your rooms' sizes, antlers provide the perfect way to create warm, gentle lighting. Intricate chandeliers, lamps, and simple sconces all provide a wildlife-inspired lighting source that gives every room a cozy ambiance. These light fixtures are far more than basic light-sources; their customized sizes and designs transform every light source into eye-catching natural art.

Wildlife Sculptures

Finding just the right accessories and decorations for both our home and yard is often a challenge. However, choosing unique antler art sculptures and accessories is an easy way to create a timeless motif both inside your house as well as out. These all-natural designs inspire a rustic motif that shows your love for nature and all its unfading beauty. A full-size elk sculpture or an intimate "Sampson and Delilah" pair capture the majesty of wildlife. For an indoor alternative, a mounted elk bust is the perfect wall accessory to personalize your sitting room or den. Although basic store accessories and furnishing may seem like simple options, nothing can compare to a customized antler art piece. Their intricate design and details are an unmatched, priceless addition to any home.

For more information on creating your personalized antler furnishings and accessories, please contact Jeff Musgrave for a detailed design appointment. With over 20 years of established art experience, he's the perfect partner for thorough advice on enhancing your home's natural beauty.

Welcome to the Old West, where cowboys, trappers, and gamblers would gather for a cold drink on common ground. Saloons were featured in just about every wild west town and story.

At The Peak Antler Company we have created an antler & barn wood bar that is perfect for your personal saloon.

The antler pillars were made from elk and mule deer antlers, which hold up a glass rack made from wine barrel racks.

This bar truly has it all. Not only will it create a fun and western atmosphere, but it also has all of the modern technology you need to entertain your friends. Keep your drinks cold with the high quality wine chiller that is hidden behind the bar, and set the mood with music using the Bose Bluetooth sound system installed in the bar. There are also LED lights in the frame above the glass rack to illuminate your bar top.

The Saloon also has a lot of storage space for all of your drinks, mixers, and shakers. The antler pillars double as a wine rack and can fit up to 10 bottles. This looks great visually, and is convenient for everyone to view your selection of wine. You can store your glass wear on the glass rack up above the bar, and you can store any other mixers, beverages, or snacks on the shelves behind the bar next to the wine chiller. If you feel like the bar is missing something, we also have antler bar stools to complete your saloon. Perfect to saddle up on and enjoy a cold one. If you are looking for some western accents or antler decor for your interior design, or would like this beautifully made saloon bar, please contact us.

Mountain Modern Style Antler Chandeliers

A formal dining room should "wow" your guests when they come to your home for dinner and special events. One way to get this reaction is using antler decor in a mountain modern style. Regardless of the style of your house, antler pieces -- made from naturally shed antlers -- can enhance your dining area and add an elegant touch to any residence.

Lighting -- For the most impact, hang a large antler chandelier in the center of your dining space above the table. Many styles and designs are available, so you can choose the perfect one that complements your home. A second option is to use two smaller pieces of antler lighting in the room. You can place one near each end of the table. For extremely spacious dining areas with high ceilings, install a large chandelier over the center of the dining table and then install two smaller ones toward each end. Our new designs of pendant mountain modern style antler chandeliers (below) are custom made and can be hung along or in pair or multiples at varied heights to create dramatic lighting effects. Our custom approach can lead to unlimited possibilities and design options.

Seating -- To create more interest, place an antler chair with an upholstered leather cushion at each end of your table. These chairs will stand out from your regular dining room chairs and will add a majestic look to your space. For dining rooms with a glass table top, these chairs will stand out even more and make a strong decor statement.

Accessories -- If your dining area has a fireplace, you'll want an antler fireplace tool set to go with your other antler pieces to complete the look of the room. This unique set is custom-made with antler handles and an antler stand. For your table's centerpiece, consider using a mule deer antler sculpture or place one on top of a nearby display cabinet.

Design a Stunning Master Bathroom with Antler Decor

2017-07-25T08:00:00.000-06:00

Antler decor might not immediately come to mind when designing a master bathroom. However, whether you live in the country or the city, antler decor can add a unique beauty to your space. With just a few antler pieces, artistically designed using naturally shed antlers, you can create a stunning look. For example, select a large mule deer antler chandelier as the focal point of your bathroom. Hang this majestic item over a garden tub or a stand-alone tub for a dramatic effect. Everyone who enters your bathroom will certainly be amazed and delighted by the chandelier. You won't find this type of decor in many homes. An antler chandelier looks like a work of art! To complement your antler chandelier, consider using another antler piece in the bathroom. An additional, matching item will balance the design of the room. A way to accomplish this is with one or more sconces. For bathrooms with double sinks, use a mirror framed in wood over each one. Between the mirrors, hang a white tail deer antler sconce. If that won't work well in your layout, you can also use an antler sconce on both sides of a single wooden framed mirror.

4 Things to Consider When Choosing an Antler Chandelier

Choosing An Antler Chandelier

Deer antler chandeliers are synonymous with rustic style and cabin decor. Featuring the shed antlers of deer, they combine offer both aesthetic and functional benefits. But if you're thinking of investing in an antler chandelier for your home, there are a few things you should consider.

#1) Antler Type First and foremost, consider the type of deer antlers used in the chandelier's construction. Whitetail deer antlers and mule deer antlers feature a similar size and shape, though moose antlers are larger and feature a distinct webbing design.

#2) Tiers How many tiers does the antler chandelier offer? Most antler chandeliers feature 1-3 tiers of lights. A good rule of thumb is to choose your tiers based on the height of the room where it's used. If you plan on installing the antler chandelier in a dining room with short ceiling, stick with a single-tiered model. On the other hand, if you plan on using it in a foyer with a tall ceiling, choose a two or three-tiered chandelier.

#3) Genuine or Faux Antlers Some companies try to cut corners with their antler chandeliers by using fake (faux) antlers. Typically made of ceramic or polyresin, they lack the naturally intricate and unique appearance of genuine antlers. Stick with a chandelier made of genuine deer antlers to reap the benefits of this stylish decorative accessory.

#4) Decorative Touches When shopping for a deer antler chandelier, you'll notice that some feature decorative touches. Available exclusively here at Peak Antlers, the Mt Evans Snowshoe Chandelier features snowshoes intertwined in the antlers for added visual appeal.

Mountain Modern Elements in a Home Office Design

2017-06-01T09:00:00.000-06:00

Many people today have an office in their home. If you’re thinking of setting up an office or remodeling using mountain modern design, you might want to consider some unique furnishings, such as stunning home office antler decor.

Desk – Imagine entering your office and seeing a magnificent, elk antler desk with a huge glass top. The base of this desk — made of naturally shed, large elk antlers — includes a gorgeous, hand-carved eagle. The clear glass top allows one’s focus to remain on the antlers and showcases the overall, artistic flair of the desk. This desk comes with a leather upholstered chair that is skillfully accented with buffalo nickel nail heads. The antler arms and legs of the chair are beautifully handcrafted to match the desk.

Overhead Lighting – To work efficiently and effectively, good overhead lighting is a necessity. An ordinary light does nothing to enhance your decor, so you might want to consider using a truly majestic antler chandelier. Chandeliers come in a large variety of sizes and even antler types, so you can find the perfect one for your office decor. Antler chandeliers are a beautiful addition to any room and look particularly impressive in a rustic setting with complementary furnishings.

Accessories – If you have a fireplace in your office, you’ll want a fire tool set with mule deer antler accents to match your other antler pieces. A large, moose antler sconce placed between two tall bookcases will add even more character to the room. It also provides extra light for when you’re searching for a particular book or item on one of the shelves.

With such a stunning home office antler decor, you’ll look forward to spending a lot of time in your office. For more antler decor ideas, contact us today. We have items that you won’t find anyplace else, and all of our furnishings are artistically handcrafted right here in America!

TRUE OR FALSE?

CREATIVE WAYS TO USE MOUNTAIN MODERN ANTLER DECOR

Antler decor is more versatile than it seems. From huge mountain homes to cozy cabins, antler decor gives rooms extra charm that’s hard to describe. The natural appeal of found antler sheds add a sense of adventure, whimsy, or earthiness to many interior styles such as the above Mountain Modern design in Aspen, CO.

Do you know your antler decorating facts?

2. Antler decor can be traditional or modern.

True. Naturally shed antlers lend beauty to many interior design styles. The antlers can accentuate natural tones and textures with modern minimalist decor styles. Of course, antlers also naturally complement rustic or country interiors.

3. Antler decor only includes chandeliers.

False. Ranging from bar stools to antler lamps, new antler decorating designs cover a wide range of items. Consider an antler desk or an antler guitar stand. Place antler sconces by a fireplace or in a hallway. If you can imagine it, it probably exists or can be created for you.

4. Antler decor can be a gift, chosen by interior decorators, or a DIY project.

ENTRY WITH CUSTOM ANTLER LIGHTING

2017-05-28T12:00:00.000-06:00

In interior design, we sometimes overlook areas where decor can make a strong statement. One such area is using antler lighting in the entryway. When a visitor comes into your house, the entry immediately shows them a sample of your decor style. You’ll want to make their impression a good one!

Color — Create a warm atmosphere with wooden beams or paint the entry a soft brown. This type of earthy, natural color is soothing while not being overly dark. If you don’t like brown, a pale sage is another earthy color that works well in an entryway.

Lighting — Instead of a small, ordinary light fixture or chandelier, hang an antler chandelier. Antler lighting, designed with naturally shed antlers, makes a unique and bold statement in a home. A chandelier made from elk or mule deer antlers is especially stunning and will create a lasting impression.

Furnishings — Add an antler bench in the entry to complement the chandelier. A bench is also useful when someone is waiting for a family member. The comfortable leather seat and beautiful antler base will provide a relaxing and stylish place to sit.

Wall Art — Don’t forget to add some wall art to complete the look. Use framed pictures of landscapes to fill blank wall space or opt for metallic art. Above the bench, try hanging wall art that’s made from leather-designed pieces to create a truly distinctive look.
