Western themed decor is rich, comfortable and inviting. Whether you live in the middle of a big city or in a rural area, you can transform the look of your living room easily. If your home is currently decorated in neutral tones, you can liven it up simply by adding accessories. This article offers tips and ideas for giving your home a western flair that will rival the old west.
Desert hues combined with plenty of leather and wood lend authenticity to this style of decor. Warm up a neutral room with rich, rustic colors and you will find that your rooms have more depth and appeal.
Solid Pine Bookshelf
Add Southwestern Color
The colors most often found in this decorating style include cactus green, rust orange, adobe red and yellow shades inspired by the sun. If your furniture is colored in neutral hues, add depth and warmth to the room by painting the walls in a muted orange or deep yellow shade. Throw pillows, accent rugs, ceramic pottery and other accessories add vibrance to the room. Richly textured tapestries can be used in throw pillows and wall hangings as well.
Terra Cotta and Ceramics Add a Western Influence
Add plenty of terra cotta and ceramics to enrich the look. Consider placing terra cotta tiles on the walls, floors or counter tops. Boldly colored ceramic pots filled with cactus and other greenery are perfect in this style of decor. Containers decorated in a southwestern pattern are a beautiful addition as well.
Fabrics Add an Artistic Flair
Part of the appeal of western decor is the richly textured patterns incorporated into this style of decorating. Hand-woven fabrics edged in fringe are great additions. Consider hanging a large tapestry decorated with desert scenes on one wall to create a focal point for the room. Richly textured and colorful throw adds a burst of color when thrown casually over a neutral sofa.
Natural elements are best for the western themed home. Stone, wood, leather and metal all combine to create an atmosphere that is comfortable, warm and eye-catching. If your budget allows, you may want to invest in a brown leather sofa and love seat. Coffee and end tables constructed of knotty pine or any rough wood lends further western appeal. Furniture that has a distressed look is perfect; wrought iron adds style as well.
Should you decide to take the look toward a more southwestern style, turquoise accents lend a Native American appeal. Consider throw pillows for the sofa containing shades of turquoise, or southwestern inspired throw rugs for a wooden floor.
Keep in mind that natural textures and materials, colors inspired by the desert, ceramics and terra cotta all play important roles in creating the look of the Wild West. If your furniture is styled in a way that is completely opposite of what you need and you cannot afford to buy new, consider neutral toned slipcovers. Most of the slipcovers available these days are fitted to provide a neat, clean appearance. Decorate your home in the spirit of the west!
