Morocco henna leather lamps are not the usual lamps or lighting accents you see in many lighting stores. While many of the lamps you find in stores are mass-produced from metal, glass, and fabric, these lamps are unique and made by actual artisans who devote time to the craft of their art. Thanks to the materials used and because of the mode of production, no two Morocco henna leather lamps will be the same. If you have always wanted a one-of-a-kind lighting fixture for your home, or if you simply want something new for your décor, which will serve as an impressive conversational piece, you may want to consider this style of lamp.



Morocco henna leather lamps are usually made from goatskin. They are painted with henna, which is a natural dye made from the dried leaves and petioles of a flowering plant. Henna is most often associated with use for decorative temporary body painting but can also be used for other more permanent painting practices. The fanciful and beautiful Mehndi designs that are practiced in Asia and are just now becoming popular in North America are made using henna dyes. Henna dries to a dark color, which contrasts beautifully with the goatskin of these Moroccan lamps, creating a unique look.

Morocco henna leather lamps are often made by attaching painted leather to an elegantly wrought metal frame. The leather is usually tied to the frame, and this makes it easy to replace or exchange the leather, if you wish, for another design. The simple process for creating these lamps also means that your home may be a little bit healthier. There are no harsh chemicals or glues used in making these lighting accents. Henna is a natural paint, the leather is a natural material, and since the material is tied rather than pasted, you can worry a little less about the harsh chemicals released in your room. This is especially important with a lighting fixture, which can get heated up and release fumes more readily. These natural lamps have been used for generations, and therefore offer a natural alternative to mass-produced lighting accents.

Morocco henna leather lamps are distinctively shaped but can be used in almost any décor style. Many have conical, rounded, or pointy shapes. Some are large rectangles and some are fanciful pyramids. If you have a sparse, modern room, these lamps will add a focus for the room. If you have an old-fashioned style of décor, these lighting pieces will add a warm bit of whimsy to your surroundings. Do keep in mind, however, that the color of the leather itself will affect the lighting. If you have cool colors in your room, look for Morocco henna leather lamps that have purple or blue tints. Try natural beige, orange, or other warm colors if your décor could use a warming glow.

When selecting the right lighting, select just the right lamp size for the room. Morocco henna leather lamps come in all sizes. You can choose a small table lighting accent or a huge hanging lamp. Look around the room where the lamp will be and decide whether most lines in the room are straight or curved. If you have lots of angular, modern furniture, try for a smaller lamp with geometric designs so that it complements your existing décor style. If you notice lots of flowing fabrics and curves in the room, opt for a Morocco henna leather lamp with curves. The style of your room will also affect the size of your lamp. If you have a larger room, a larger lamp will look striking. A smaller lamp keeps a small room in perspective. However, don't be afraid to experiment. A large lamp in a small room will act as a center of focus and several small lamps in a larger room can be attractive, too. Choose your new Morocco henna leather lamps carefully and you will have unique décor pieces, which can last through many moves.
