Painted lamp shades bring out the best in Native American home decor and are definitely the way to go in rustic lighting. The unique style they enhance in your home will have your friends talking about your incredible designer style long after they leave. In fact, I love these rustic shades so much that I enjoy giving them as gifts for Christmas or birthdays. These lamp shades are an interesting way to bring out interesting southwestern or country style in your home decor and achieve a look that is certainly one of a kind.

From interesting portraits of Native American Indians and beautiful mountain wildlife, to intricate paintings of arid desert settings and Indigenous dwellings, you will definitely be amazed with how these hand made lamp shades add to your home's western design and style. What I like most about decorating with painted lamp shades or giving them as gifts, are the many different colors and options available.

You can choose from beautiful works of art on dyed pigskin leather lamp shades that come in red, green, black, gold, wine, brown or natural, or choose a painting you like on a natural rawhide shade in a light or dark tone. No matter which you choose, you will certainly find one to coordinate with your color palette and your decorating style. The beautiful craftsmanship of the hand-stitched lacing on the rawhide lamp shade adds great character and true Native American design to your mountain cabin or ranch style home.

Trying to simply incorporate southwestern style in a room in your home? The greatest thing about painted lamp shades is that they look just as wonderful in an office, den, bedroom, living room and wherever else you would like to add Native American design. The best thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a very easy way to change your lighting fixtures or makeover a room without having to have the expenses of remodeling. Use painted lamp shades on special southwestern style light fixtures such as wrought iron or antler lamps to enhance a genuine natural mountain look, or simply change the shade on the traditional style lamps that you are already using to bring out southwestern design.

Regularly used on chandelier lamps for lighting large rooms or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are excellent for any area you want to incorporate a splash of color with southwestern style. You will be excited to see how a simple lamp shade can adjust the look of the whole room and create authentic southwestern style in your home. Combine painted leather lamp shades with other western or Native American style items for genuine southwestern design. Painted lamp shades look wonderful when combined with Indian blankets and throws, pueblo ladders, powwow drums, or hand-crafted Indian baskets and pottery.

These unique shades are hard to buy in traditional stores where southwestern decor accessories are sold, but you can find them online. If you love the Native style houses typically found in the southwest, or are simply looking for a way to bring great rustic design to your decor, try using the unique art of painted lamp shades.
