  Painted lamp shades bring out the best in Native American home decor and are definitely the way to go in rustic lighting. The unique look they add to your home will have your friends talking about your beautiful designer look long after they leave. In fact, I enjoy decorating with these unique shades so much that I have even given them as gifts for birthdays or special occasions. These lamp shades are a wonderful way to create interesting southwest or country style in your home design and create a look that is truly amazing.

From exquisite portraits of Native American Indians and fascinating mountain terrain, to colorful paintings of arid desert landscape and Indigenous homes, you will certainly be amazed with how these hand painted lamp shades complement your home's Native design and style. The thing I enjoy most about decorating with painted lamp shades or giving them as gifts, are the many different colors and options available.

You can choose from exquisite works of art on dyed pigskin leather lamp shades that come in many different colors, or choose a painting you like on a traditional rawhide shade in a light or dark tone. No matter which type of shade you select, you will easily find one to coordinate with your color scheme and your decorating style. The beautiful handywork of the hand-stitched lacing on the leather lamp shade brings great character and true American Indian style to your mountain cabin or ranch style home.

Don't have a ranch style home to decorate? The greatest thing about painted lamp shades is that they look equally as well in all rooms of your home and anywhere else you wish to incorporate Native American style. The exciting thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a simple way to change your home lighting or give new life to a room without going into debt or remodeling. Use painted lamp shades on unique rustic style light fixtures such as wrought iron or antler lamps to bring out a an authentic natural mountain look, or simply replace the shade on the regular style lamps that you already have to enhance Native style.

Often used on floor lamps for illuminating large rooms or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are excellent for any area you wish to create a bit of color with southwestern flare. You will be excited to see how easily a lamp shade can revolutionize the look of the entire room and bring Native style decor to life in your home. Combine painted leather lamp shades with other country or Native style furnishings for true southwestern style. Painted lamp shades look incredible when combined with Indian blankets and throws, kiva ladders, Native drums, or hand-made baskets and pottery.

These incredible shades are hard to buy in retail stores where southwestern decorating items are sold, but you can find them online. If you love the Native style homes found in the southwest, or are simply wanting to add authentic rustic style to your home deocr, try using the beautiful artwork of painted lamp shades.
