Using custom rawhide lamp shades as part of your home's decor is the easiest and most inexpensive way to give your home true rustic or Native style. Something I like most about beautiful hand crafted lamp shades is the captivating glow and inviting ambiance they create no matter where they are used. These natural rawhide shades are made of goat skin, and are wonderful because of their diversity and ability to combine with all southwestern style home accessories and color schemes.



Wonderful for use in cabins and log homes and anywhere you would like to create amazing country style, rawhide lamp shades are truly the greatest choice in southwestern home lighting and for use on rustic lighting fixtures. The greatest part about leather shades is that they are available in custom sizes and in natural or dark colored rawhide. No matter if you are selecting a southwestern lamp shade for a large floor lamp or simply need custom rawhide lamp shades for small chandelier or antler lamps, you will definitely be able to find the perfect one for your design style.

The rich variations of color tones are part of what gives the rawhide shades such wonderful character. Southwestern rawhide shades are available in a stunning darkly smoked look that allows the light to pass through while producing a warm glow and inviting atmosphere. The natural rawhide stitching enhances the shade's characteristic rustic look and wonderful western style. Whether buying a shade to enhance your home decor or to use along with wooden or rustic furnishings, custom rawhide lamp shades will pull the room together to create great western style.

Rawhide lamp shades that have been bleached are a cream color with natural earth tone highlights that are seen when the light is turned on. These light colored shades look amazing when used with natural wooden furniture and western accessories such as log ladders or kiva style ladders. You will also like how natural rawhide shades combine with other western decor for a beautiful combination in Native American style and design. Use your custom made lamp shades with similar rustic accessories like Indian blankets and drums for wonderful pueblo, country, southwest or Native style.

If you are drawn to the natural beauty of rawhide, you will also love the unique style of dyed rawhide lamp shades. These hand made lamp shades are a wonderful way to add a touch of color to any room while keeping the same western decorating theme. Colored shades are first lightened with a bleaching solution and then dyed to reach the desired color. The result is a beautifully colored rawhide shade, with a unique grain pattern that is seen when lit.

If you want to buy rawhide custom shades to use with lamps you already have or to use on special rustic lamps, you can easily find them online and in certain stores that sell rustic home decor and accessories. No matter which type of home lighting fixture you choose along with your shade, you will appreciate the rustic beauty and western style brought to your home when using custom rawhide lamp shades.
