Painted Leather Lamp Shades for Rustic Lighting

The thing I enjoy most about decorating with leather lamp shades or giving them as gifts, are the large variety of colors and options available. You can choose from exquisite works of art on dyed pigskin suede lamp shades that come in many colors including red, green, black, gold, wine, brown or natural, or select a painting you like on a rustic rawhide shade in a light or dark color. No matter which type of shade you decide on, you will easily find one that combines with your color scheme and your decorating needs. The beautiful handiwork of the hand-stitched lacing on the rawhide lamp shade brings great character and true Native American style to your mountain cabin or ranch style home. 

The greatest thing about painted lamp shades is that they look just as wonderful in an office, den, bedroom, living room and anywhere else you wish to create southwestern style. The great thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a relatively easy way to change your home lighting or redecorate a home without having to have the expenses of remodeling. Try painted lamp shades on special western style lamps such as wrought iron or antler lamps to enhance an authentic natural mountain look, or just replace the shade on the standard style lamps that you are already using to enhance western style. Frequently used on floor lamps for lighting large areas or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are excellent for any area you would like to incorporate a bit of color with southwestern flare.

You will be thrilled to see how effortlessly a lamp shade can change the design of the whole room and bring Native style design to life in your home. Combine painted leather lamp shades with other western or Native American style accessories for true southwestern style. Painted lamp shades look incredible when combined with Native American blankets and throws, kiva ladders, ceremonial drums, or Indian baskets and pottery. These beautiful shades are difficult to buy in retail stores where southwestern decor accessories are sold, but you can find them online. If you enjoy the Native style houses found in the southwestern states, or are just looking for a way to bring genuine southwestern flare to your home decor, try decorating with the colorful artwork of painted lamp shades.
