Use Painted Lamp Shades For Mountain Style Decorating

Painted lamp shades are a must for rustic style decorating, or for use in any cabin, lodge, or ranch style home. The unique charm they create in your home will have your friends talking about your great decorating style long after they leave. In fact, I love these unique shades so much that I have even given them as gifts to friends and family. These lamp shades are a wonderful way to bring out great southwestern or country style in your interior design and create a look that is definitely one of a kind.

From intricate portraits of Native American Indians and beautiful grazing mountain wildlife, to detailed paintings of dry desert scenery and Indian pueblos, you will no doubt be pleased with how these hand painted lamp shades enhance your home’s southwestern design and style. The thing I love most about decorating with painted leather lamp shades or giving them as gifts, is the large variety of shade colors and options available.

You can this find beautiful artwork painted on dyed pigskin suede leather lamp shades that come in red, green, black, gold, wine, brown or natural, or find a painting you like on a rustic rawhide shade in light or dark. No matter which kind of shade you choose, you won’t have any trouble finding one to match your color palette and your decorating needs. The beautiful craftsmanship of the hand-stitched leather or rawhide lamp shade truly brings great character and true Native American style to your mountain cabin or country home.

Don't have a cabin or lodge to decorate? The nice thing about painted lamp shades is that they look equally wonderful in an office, den, bedroom, living room or anywhere else you wish to create southwestern style. The great thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a very easy way to change your home lighting or give new life to a room without having to spend a lot of money or do a lot of work. Use painted lamp shades on special rustic style home lighting fixtures such as wrought iron or antler lamps to create an authentic rugged mountain look, or simply change the shade on the traditional style lamps that you already own to enhance southwestern style.

Popular for use on floor lamps for lighting large areas or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are perfect for using anywhere you wish to add a splash of color with southwestern flare. You will be excited to see how a simple lamp shade can change the look of the whole room and bring Native style decorating to life in your home. Combine painted lamp shades with other western or Native American style accessories for authentic southwestern design style. Painted lamp shades look wonderful when used with Indian blankets and throws, pueblo ladders, powwow drums, or Indian baskets and pottery.

These unique shades are difficult to buy in traditional stores where southwestern decorating accessories are sold, but you can find them online. If you love the designer style homes found throughout the southwestern states, or are simply looking for a way to add color and rustic flare to you decor, change the look of your interior decorating by adding the beautiful art of painted lamp shades.
