Warm up Your Home Decor with Western Decorating Touches

July 17, 2011 by Dan

If you’re looking for a way to add a warm and welcoming look and feel to your home, a touch of western decor might be just what you need. There are many different ways to use western art and accessories as part of your overall home decorating scheme. In some cases, you might opt for a just a few subtle western touches. Of course, you could also choose a predominantly western theme for one or more rooms in your home. Either way, you’re sure to find that western decor will add a welcoming touch to your home.

Functional Western Decorating Pieces

Western decorating styles often have a refreshing sense of practicality about them. In keeping with that theme, using functional pieces that are also beautiful and stylish can add a nice touch. Although purely artistic pieces such as western themed metal wall art can certainly add to the overall look of the room, so can rustic wall mounted coat racks. Wooden peg racks, tapestry throws depicting western patterns or themes, and other pieces of functional home decor can work well as part of your overall western look. Candles, western themed chandeliers and rustic cookware or dinnerware are other examples of functional pieces that can double as room decor. A natural color theme will help add to the room’s visual warmth and vibrancy.

Western Decor: A Natural for Outdoors

Western decorating themes can work equally well both inside and outside of your home. In fact, the nature-focused theme of western decor makes it a natural for outdoor decorating. When decorating your patio or deck, try using one or more pieces of outdoor western metal art to spice up a wall. Furniture pieces that incorporate wrought iron, copper, brass or wood also tend to work well with a western theme. This style of decorating often works especially well for homes that have a lot of rustic charm. However, you can also use subtle western decorating touches to add beauty and variety to many other styles of homes.

Great Furniture Choices

Traditional western style furniture often has a very substantial, large and solid look. Sofas, chairs and tables are often very well crafted and oversized, made from natural materials such as wood, leather and gleaming metal. Upholstered furniture pieces frequently combine wood with overstuffed fabric or leather upholstery. Because the furniture pieces are substantially sized, you won’t really need a lot of furniture pieces in order to complete the room.

Decorative Touches

In addition to solid pieces of furniture and western themed functional pieces, you can also use a variety of purely decorative pieces to add charm and warmth to a western-themed room. Using authentic pieces such as a pair of worn boots, a cowboy hat or a wagon wheel as part of your room’s decor can add a realistic touch. Or, choose a beautifully designed piece of metal wall art that features a western motif to accentuate the theme of the room. Whichever you choose, you’re sure to find that your home will feel warm, comfortable and relaxing with its new western theme.
