Rural lampshades

Characteristics of the country style are that this living style has a natural and relaxing character. Country style lamps suit this style. They are not striking and lavish with decorative bows and curls, as is the case with the classic style. Country lighting is sober but stylish at the same time. Rural lampshades suit this type of lamps. A wooden upright with a fabric shade above it, or a wicker lampshade on a wooden floor lamp, for example, fit well in a rural home.
