Western Home Decorating Ideas
The American West typifies western home decorating ideas that could be anything from a rustic cabin belonging to a cowboy to a hideout in the mountains. While antlers, wool, and birch bark play a small role, western-style decoration usually uses wood, rock, leather, and metal in abundance. These are the ingredients that give a feel of the Wild West as well as satisfy the homeowner who is looking to replicate his home to those that existed during the heady past in American history.
To begin thinking
about western home decor ideas you have toys with
natural ingredients from which you can get the furniture made. Without being
intricate in design, western-type furniture uses logs liberally and is usually
large while the furnishings are mission-type. Colors generally used for western
home interiors are black, honey, and gray. For bordering, navy, forest shade
green, terracotta, cream brick colored red is common. All of them should blend
well with the wallpaper made from fabric carrying western motifs.
Motifs used on
wallpapers center around cowboys, bears, moose, pine trees, cattle, oaks, pine,
lakes, and rivers. Hunting and riding scenes are also much-favored motifs and
figures in western home decorating ideas as are wildflowers and bushes.
For
western-style house design,
you can use fabric that is not exquisite, but rough, tough, and a bit coarse
textured. Try and avoid using shiny leather and settle for matte finishes which
gel well with the era. If at all you have to put in some shine, use them
sparingly. Fur, woven rugs, types of denim, and tweeds are quintessentially
western and are best used for fabric ideas and may also be used for upholstery.
Western room decoration ideas suggest an accent
on anything that is old and antique but rugged in looks and nature. That also
goes for your private nook. Your bedroom can feature furnishing and linen that
look wild and rough but are cozy at the same time.
Leather strips, dry
flowers, quilts, mirrors in twig frames, and rawhide lampshades as accessories
can figure in western living room design ideas. With wooden
floors, the fireplace and mantle with liberal bronze artifacts are
prerequisites for a western-style living room interior with artwork in oil,
vintage photos, and paintings.
