Bedroom Decorating Ideas - Tips on how to Use Painted Lamp Shades

Painted lamp shades provide beautiful rustic style for any home lighting fixture. The charming style they enhance in your home will have your friends talking about your great interior design long after they leave. In fact, I love these wonderful shades so much that I have even given them as gifts to friends and family.

These lamp shades are a unique way to bring out interesting rustic or Native American style in your home decorating and complete a look that is certainly amazing.

From interesting portrayals of American Indians and extraordinary mountain terrain, to detailed paintings of dry desert landscape and Native homes, you will definitely be amazed with how these hand painted lamp shades complement your home's western design and style.

The thing I like most about decorating with leather lamp shades or giving them as gifts, are the variations in shade colors and options to choose from.

You can decide between fascinating artwork on dyed pigskin leather lamp shades that come in many different colors, or select a painting you like on a traditional rawhide shade in a light or dark color.

No matter which you choose, you will no doubt find one that combines with your color scheme and your decorating needs. The amazing craftsmanship of the hand-stitched leather on the leather lamp shade adds great character and genuine American Indian style to your rustic cabin or country home.

Trying to simply enhance southwestern style in a room in your home?

The nicest thing about painted lamp shades is that they look equally as well in an office, den, bedroom, living room and anywhere else you wish to incorporate western style. The exciting thing about painted lamp shades is that they are a simple way to alter your home lighting or makeover a room without going into debt or remodeling.

Try painted lamp shades on unique southwestern style lamps such as wrought iron or antler lamps to create a true rugged mountain look, or simply replace the shade on the regular style lamps that you already have to bring out Native style.

Often used on chandelier lamps for illuminating large rooms or for table lamps and desk lamps, painted lamp shades are great for anywhere you would like to add a splash of color with rustic style. You will be excited to see how easily a lamp shade can revolutionize the look of the entire room and bring rustic style decorating to life in your home.

Combine painted leather lamp shades with other western or rustic style items for true rustic style.

Painted lamp shades look great when used with Indian blankets and throws, kiva ladders, powwow drums, or Indian baskets and pottery. These incredible shades are difficult to buy in traditional stores where southwestern decorating items are sold, but you can find them online.

If you love the designer style homes typically found in the southwestern states, or are simply looking for a way to add great rustic design to your interior decorating, try using the exquisite art of painted lamp shades.
