Hand Laced Rawhide Lamp Shades For Beautiful Western Decor & Rustic Atmosphere
Rustic lamps with rawhide lamp shades are among the most common rustic lamps you find in log homes and in rustic decorating or western decor. If you have lived in the west or visited western States, you know exactly what I mean.
Lamp shades made of rawhide are functional and very versatile, fitting into just about any home decor. Rawhide leather lamp shades are also found in colors to allow interior decorators to use any color pallet. Try adding rawhide shades in your decorating project and see for yourself how well they enhance your rustic design ideas.
When you prepare to purchase rawhide lamp shades you will want to decide how your lamp will be used. This is just a matter of choosing in which room you will be using it. For instance, you might be lighting a huge area or just brightening a dark corner of the room. Rawhide shades are also great when used with antler chandeliers and antler lamps since rawhide lampshades are a standard for rustic style lighting. From small chandelier lamp shades with attached bulb adaptors for candelabra bulbs or sconces to big accent lamps or floor lamps, rawhide shades work wonderfully for southwestern style home lighting.
When you use rawhide lampshades for home lighting, you are going to really be impressed by the warm atmosphere created by the lamps light coming through the stretched rawhide. This is how rawhide shades work to create that inviting feel. It is a balanced combination of color and texture that causes that warm glow. While it may not be the focus of your room, it will certainly add some character to the space.
When using raw hide lamp shades for reading you will probably want to utilize a larger lamp and lampshade that can be used to give off light from behind and above the person reading. This allows for the most comfortable reading environment. Sconce lamp shades also allow for correct reading light and rawhide shades come in just the right size for your reading and decorating needs.
Remember, when you are deciding on the lighting for your home, the light from rawhide accent lamp shades will allow you to filter the bright glare and capture the beauty of the light while using it where you need it. Light rawhide, sometimes called southwestern lamp shades, lets the maximum light shine through while dark colored rawhide shades, called western lamp shades, are more subtle producing a charcoal or smoke color when the lamp is turned on.
One of the greatest things about the rawhide lamp shades offered online is that they work with so many different types of lamps including rustic lamp styles as well as traditional ones. Like the sought after antler lamp with a rawhide leather lamp shade, they also look great on desk lamps or wooden lamps. Iron lamps with rawhide shades are another very popular choice in lighting accessories for rustic decor.
There is really no need to make big changes if you own more traditional style lamps. It is a rawhide shade that is enhancing the rustic look and feel which is why professional decorators love designing with them. You can use rawhide with traditional lamps and achieve a very nice southwestern feel.
The variations of size and color lend these lamp shades to be used in almost any environment where you want to bring out the rustic character or are enhancing a room in what has been termed rustic chic style. Just as appropriate in the living room, family room or den as well as bedroom or study, rawhide shades can be used in just one area or used to give a southwestern theme throughout your whole house.
Popular as table lamps as well as on bed stands or on floor lamps and chandeliers, lampshades can make a dramatic statement and bring a unique charm to any room. Purchasing rawhide lamp shades online is easy and fast and often saves you a lot of time and money. Using rawhide in your home is an investment in tranquility and peace that you will enjoy forever.

How can we compromise on design ideas?
My boyfriend and I are getting ready to get our first appartment together. Which is extremely exciting, the only problem is our taste in decoration is just different enough not to work. He is really into dark art and horror and I am more into the rustic victorian style. What are some good ideas on how we can put our tastes together?
My husband and I just bought our first home together too and so I understand your dilemma. The best thing for you two in my opinion is since he likes dark and "horror" maybe paint the rooms a darker neutral color like brown, and grey to please him but put in the furniture that will suit your style. You can do your victorian theme in the bathrooms and maybe in the bedroom let him have his more masculine darks, like a nice green or grey blue and you can do a pretty bed for yourself. The best website to check out is www.hgtv.com and click on get it together show is for couples just like yourselves that have different tastes.
hope you can find a nice balance.
