Painted lamp shades are a must for rustic style decorating, or for use in any cabin, lodge, or ranch style home. The charming look they add to your home will have your friends talking about your incredible interior design long after they leave. In fact, I like these southwestern shades so much that I like to give them as gifts to friends and family. These lamp shades are a unique way to enhance interesting southwest or country style in your home decor and achieve a look that is definitely amazing.
From elaborate portraits of Native American Indians and beautiful mountain terrain, to colorful paintings of arid desert landscape and Native pueblos, you will certainly be thrilled with how these hand painted lamp shades add to your home’s Native American design and style. The thing I like most about decorating with painted lamp shades or giving them as gifts, are the many different colors and options to choose from.
You can find beautiful paintings on dyed pigskin suede lamp shades that come in red, green, black, gold, wine, brown or natural, or select a painting you like on a traditional rawhide shade in light or dark. Whether a suede leather or natural rawhide shade, you will certainly find one to coordinate with your color palette and your decorating needs. The amazing work of the hand-stitched leather on the leather lamp shade brings beautiful charm and true American Indian design to your rustic cabin or ranch style home.
Trying to simply create rustic style in a room in your home? The nicest part about painted lamp shades is that they look just as wonderful in all rooms of your home and anywhere else you wish to incorporate southwestern design. The best thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a relatively easy way to alter your lighting fixtures or redo a room without going into debt or remodeling. Try painted lamp shades on unique rustic style home lighting fixtures such as wrought iron or antler lamps to enhance a true natural mountain look, or simply replace the shade on the regular style lamps that you are already using to bring out western design.
Frequently used on chandelier lamps for lighting large areas or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are perfect for any area you want to add a splash of color with southwestern flare. You will be thrilled to see how a simple lamp shade can change the look of the entire room and create true western style in your home. Combine painted leather lamp shades with other western or rustic style accessories for true southwestern design. Painted lamp shades look great when combined with Indian blankets and throws, log ladders, ceremonial drums, or hand-crafted Indian baskets and pottery.
These incredible shades are difficult to buy in traditional stores where southwest decor accessories are sold, but you can find them online. If you like the designer style houses found throughout the southwest, or are simply looking for a way to bring color and rustic flare to your interior decorating, try decorating with the colorful art of painted lamp shades.
