The base of the lamp is made from a recycled wooden log, giving a natural effect straight away. On this wooden base is a Texas star made from brass or iron.

This isn't very prominent, and so your guests may have to inspect a little closer before noticing the stars. An iron chain holds this iron lamp in place.

Texas stars and horseshoes

For a real Western look which not only has the Texas star but also has horseshoes featured, this lamp is great for both cowboy fans and horse lovers. Horseshoes are a symbol of good luck, and the base is often made using horseshoes joined together. Made from iron to most accurately resemble real horseshoes, the lamp shade may be either canvas or fabric, or alternatively it may be a hard material such as glass or ceramic.

Star-shaped lamp

This is normally seen as a lamp that hangs from the ceiling, but it is a full star shape that nobody could possibly miss. With a 3D and almost origami-like appearance, this lamp is typically a light color such as off-white or cream to allow the light to penetrate as much as possible through the material.

Can a Texas star lamp be used outdoors?

Finding the perfect lamp to provide light to the exterior of your home can be challenging. An outdoor lamp can be easily installed, but choosing one can be the hardest step. A black outdoor lamp is a popular style, with a large Texas star covering most of the front, and a smaller star positioned neatly on the top.
