A replacement lamp shade can be a relatively inexpensive way to make a real statement.  Metal and glass lamp shades are beautiful and metal lamp shades are available in too may finishes and designs to mention here. We love rawhide lamp shadeswestern lamp shades  and  painted lamp shades for western, rustic and southwestern decor,

Ross Stores have lamp shades which can be used for a southwest decor - you just have to search a little there - but a dark brown fabric shade will work as well as a solid, green, blue, red or black lamp shade.  Color is so prevalent in southwest decor, you can use whatever color you like and build around it. The black shade would be great with a zebra rug and as you know we think red goes with everything.

 This Southwestern Spirit Giclee clip on lamp shade works for either wall sconces or as chandelier lamp shades and is perfect for transforming an ordinary light into a southwest light. They are 3" x 6" x 5" and a set of four is $49.99 at Lamps Plus.com.  Be sure to compare prices before you purchase any decorative items.

Painted leather shades are a very unique way to incorporate southwest into your room.   Scenes from the wild west, coyotes and cacti, kokopelli, geckos and many more are available at Mission Del Rey Southwest online.  Since we are huge fans of Kokopelli we highly recommend their painted lamp shade of this famous little deity.  We have found the largest selection of southwest lamp shades at this site, including gorgeous colored rawhide lamp shades.

If you want black lamp shades, Southwest Indian Treasures.com has them made from soft suede.  Perfect for log homes, cabins, western and southwester decor. The leather shades will not split as the rawhide shades can.  They range in price from $29.95 to $149.95 depending on which size you choose.

Rocky Mountain Cabin Decor online has gorgeous rawhide lampshades with leather laced trim in standard shapes as well as a very unique rectangular one.  They also have leather lampshades, birch bark painted lamp shades and rawhide painted lamp shades.   Some of the paintings available are bears, elk, native buffalo, pine cones and leaves.  The Mica rectangular lamp shade would also work with a southwest decor and it is more subtle than some of the others.

Custom rawhide lamp shades made of deer and elk hides can be found at Absaroka Western Designs & Tannery.  Seller says the deer and elk make stronger rawhide shades than the sheep or goatskin used by most manufacturers.  For their leather shades they use deer, elk and sheep skins.  They have chandelier size lamp shades in rawhide as well as regular lamp shades.  Many styles are available in their parchment shades including bear, moose, wolf, kokopelli, elk, roundup, pine cone and pine tree.

To decorate on a limited budget checkout the faux leather lamp shades at Lighting Direct.com.  They are very attractive and can be used to make your southwest statement for closer to $15 rather than $100.  They also have a Jacquard Copper lamp shade for only $19 and we strongly recommend it.  Red lamp shades always work with southwest decor.

Lamp finials can be used along with a new lamp shade on an old lamp to change the look.  Pottery based lamps, any metal based lamps, wood based lamps, and even the lamp base we found here on craigslist would work with a different lamp shade - we would recommend a coolie lamp shade for this used lamp since that shape would work the best with this heavy base.   A dark brown or a vivid color to go with something else you have or want to have in the room.

We have a page on vintage wall sconces and if you are interested in vintage lamp shades, please visit the Eagle-Emporium.com.  They make fancy "vintage" lamp shades and what a custom item for your home.   They also have many types of vintage lights including sconces.
