Easy Ways to Add a Country and Western Theme at Home
Do you ever get nostalgic for that time when men worked out on the farm or ranch and women did the cooking and other household chores? Your mind goes back to a time wh en family was at the center of people’s lives, where all gathered around a large country wood dining table to share a tasty home-cooked meal. To us, these times in the country seem more relaxing, a place where beautiful lush green grass met azure blue skies. A country and western décor can help you capture this feeling of an era gone by.
Re-creating the Past
You can easily create this comfortable, welcoming look in your home. For many people, the goal is an elegant, stately looking home. But a country and western décor is perfect for those who simply want all their guests to feel instantly at ease and relaxed. Your home is open to anyone and everyone-and, if they could, your visitors would stay forever. When they visit, your guests will feel right at home. Remember that the atmosphere people experience in your home has everything to do with the décor.
A country and western style helps a home to look warm and lived-in. The use of lots of wood and rustic colors really adds to the charm. For an authentic, old-time look, go with wood floors and exposed wooden beams on the ceiling.
Country and western kitchens tend to be oversized and full of color. Look for décor accents such as sunflowers, roosters, and old teapot collections. You might even find a wrought-iron baker’s rack or gingham tablecloth to accent the décor. What you end up with looks just like grandma’s kitchen. You can’t go back to that slower-paced life, but creating the look in your home can be the next best thing.
Paint can make all the difference when you decorate with a country and western décor theme. Choose from a variety of rich, rustic colors, such as tan, brown, maroon, dark blue, and forest green. All you need is a few western striped throw rugs containing these colors scattered here and there on the wood floor, and you will have created an amazing look.
More Western Than Country
Do you lean more toward the western look? You can create a fabulous look decorating with horseshoes and rodeo-themed throws. Throws are great, as they can be used in so many different ways. You might use one to cover up a worn spot on the sofa, or hook one lazily over the back of a rocking chair. Or hang one on an empty wall to create an incredible focal point.
You might also add table runners and coasters that share the same western theme. For the ultimate western effect, hang a cowboy hat or even a wooden wagon wheel on the wall. You can even purchase cowboy boot planters for your wood end tables that are original and sure to be a conversation piece in your home. There are plenty of western-themed accessories to choose from, from wrought-iron candle holders in the shape of horses to huge Texas star wall hangings. All will give your home the look of days long past, of families gathering around a hearth after a long, hard day on the ranch. These days, you can choose from a variety of western-themed accessories, from huge Texas star wall hangings to wrought-iron candle holders in the shape of horses, that will give your home a look of days long past-when family life meant gathering together after a long, hard day on the ranch.
A Style That’s Easy to Live With
Your entire family will love the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere you’ve created with your country and western décor. Visitors will also love your inviting home on the range-so much so that you may have a hard time getting them to leave.
