One of the easiest ways to change the look of a home is by adjusting the lighting. Adding a Moroccan lamp shade to a piece that you already have is simple and far more inexpensive than redecorating the entire room. Whether you have a Moroccan metal lamp or you’re adding the shade to different style lamp you can’t go wrong.
There are two different types of lamp shades you may be looking for; authentic Moroccan lamp shades and Moroccan style lamp shades. Authentic shades will normally be made completely from metal. This could be copper, tin, aluminum or another combination of metals. They are typically handmade. Rattan shades are also typical.
Moroccan styled shades will have a Moroccan look or feel but could be made anywhere and of any material. There is nothing wrong with going for an inspired style, especially if it fits your lifestyle a little better. Metal shades do require some upkeep and may not be the best if you have small children, for example.

Hand crafted iron with a brass finish, this table top lamp shade has all the aspects that give it a Moroccan look. The piercings through the metal allow the light to escape and the style will transport you to a Moroccan home. It can also be used as a pendant lamp.
For this lamp you just need to supply the bulb and you’ll be on your way. While I’m calling this a shade it’s really an all in one lamp as you don’t need a base to put it on.
Similar to the previous lamp, this is a lamp shade but also a lamp in and of itself. This one is brass with silver plating and is a stand alone lamp, no base needed.
