Decorating with custom rawhide lamp shades as part of your interior design is the easiest and most inexpensive way to give your home genuine rustic or southwestern style. Something I enjoy most about unique hand made lamp shades is the natural glow and inviting ambiance they create no matter how they are used. These natural rawhide shades are made of goat skin, and are great because of their versatility and ability to enhance rustic style home accessories and color palettes.
Great for use in log homes, cabins, ranch style homes, lodges and anywhere you would like to incorporate great southwestern style, rawhide lamp shades are certainly the best option in southwestern home lighting and for use on special lighting fixtures. The best part about leather shades is that they come in custom sizes and in natural dark or light rawhide. No matter if you are buying a western lamp shade for a large floor lamp or simply want custom rawhide lamp shades for smaller chandelier or accent lamps, you will definitely be able to find the perfect match for your decorating style.
The rich variety of color tones is what gives the rawhide shades such great appeal. Western rawhide shades come in a beautiful dark smoky color that allows the light to pass through while producing a glowing warmth and welcoming ambiance. The unique rawhide stitching enhances the shade's characteristic rustic beauty and wonderful western style. Whether purchasing a shade to enhance your home design or to combine with dark leather or rustic furniture, custom rawhide lamp shades will pull the room together to create incredible southwestern style.
Rawhide lamp shades that have been bleached are a light cream color with occasional rust colored highlights that are illuminated when the light passes through the shade. These cream colored shades are stunning when used in the same room with natural wooden furniture and accessories such as wood ladders or pueblo style ladders. You will also enjoy how natural rawhide shades look great with other southwestern decor to create the perfect harmony in country style and design. Use your custom made lamp shades with similar rustic accessories like Indian blankets and drums for great western, country, rustic or Native American style.
If you are drawn to the natural beauty of rawhide, you will also enjoy the incredible style of dyed rawhide lamp shades. These custom lamp shades are a wonderful way to add a touch of color to any home while keeping the same southwestern design style. Dyed shades are first lightened by bleaching and then tinted with dye to reach the perfect color. The result is a vibrantly colored rawhide shade, with a unique grain pattern that is enhanced when illuminated.
If you want to buy rawhide custom lamp shades to use with lighting fixtures you already have or to go on special wrought iron lamps, you can conveniently find them online and in certain stores that sell rustic home decor items. No matter which kind of home lighting fixture you use with your shade, you will appreciate the welcoming warmth and inviting ambiance brought to your home when decorating with custom rawhide lamp shades.
