The rustic look of leather lamp shades is a wonderful way to add western style to your home decorating. The use of decorative rustic shades has increased in recent years as decorators have become more and more aware of how simple it is to add southwestern and country style in any room, by just using a natural lamp shade as part of the interior design.
The typical style you encounter in the southwest and in designer magazines can be easily copied by effortlessly switching the lamp shades on lamps you already use, or by placing them on special types of rustic lighting fixtures such as wrought iron and antler lamps. Leather lamp shades come in a natural color and are also dyed in many colors including brown, wine, gold, red, green, and black that look fantastic and are simple to use with any color pallet.
The thing I like most about rustic shades is their adaptability and the way they enhance Native American style. These hand-made, rustic lamp shades are fashioned out of soft pigskin, suede leather that creates a nice glow when illuminated and has small natural hair follicle holes that give it a rustic finish.

Wonderful for filtering light both upward and outward, leather lamp shades are great when used on desk lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, antler lamps and all rustic lighting fixtures. No matter if you wish to light a large room with chandelier lamps or other rustic lighting fixtures, or are just trying to light a dim area with table lamps or rustic lamps, leather lamp shades will give you the perfect lighting effect in lighting your home.
You will like the welcoming light of rustic shades and the pleasing warmth they create when using them beside other southwestern style design accessories such as Native rugs and Indian pottery or with wood furniture. Deciding where you will use the lamp shade is something to figure out before buying. Larger lamp shades that provide more light are good for reading and illuminating a large room, while smaller shades are great for accent lighting or illuminating a dimly lit corner.
Leather lamp shades used on table lamps or accent lamps can make a dramatic statement and bring authentic western style to any room. Whether used with standard style lamps or on special rustic lamps, leather lamp shades are the greatest way to get the rustic style that you like. The wonderful adaptability of pigskin leather lamp shades make them wonderful for using in any of the rooms of your home where you would like to add Native style.
They also look beautiful in log homes and are the greatest way to enrich the natural beauty of its environment. Today, it is easy to buy leather lamp shades online or purchase them in stores that sell rustic style decorating items. If you like western style in home decorating, and want to enhance the spirit of the old west in your home decorating, try using the unique beauty of designer leather lamp shades for your home decorating.
