Cowboy Decor - Create a Rooten Tooten Kid's Room!

Cowboy decor is a favorite among the boys and girls who love the wild
west.  If your child loves everything cowboy related, there are many
great ways you can transform their room into a grand western
adventure.  For instance, the following are some ideas on how you can
use different cowboy decor to create the western room your child will
love.

Bedding:  Usually when it comes to decorating your kid's room around
a theme, the best way to help you get ideas is to start by selecting
the bedding.  The best place to look for cowboy decor bedding is
online.  The reason is because you will likely find a variety of bed
sets to choose from with different designs such as horses, cactus,
cowboys, hats, lassos, lone star and boots. 

If it is at all possible, when looking for bedding, try to find
either 3-piece bed sets (matching comforter/duvet/quilt, bedskirt and
pillow sham(s)) or a complete set (matching comforter/duvet/quilt,
bedskirt and pillow sham(s), plus a full set of sheets ­ top sheet,
fitted sheet, pillow case (s)).  Once your child chooses the bedding
they like best, you can then begin building their room around its
color and theme by adding other cowboy decor accessories.

Walls:  The walls of a cowboy decor themed room can either be painted
or wallpapered.  If you would like to keep decorating the walls
simple, choose to paint the walls a single, solid rustic shade of
brown, orange or a burnt yellow.  If you would like to add a little
more creativity, you could purchase a few stencils at your local
craft shop and add some cowboy designs on the walls.

If you would like to wallpaper the walls, or add a wallpaper border
to a painted room, you will find that www.decoratetoday.com has a few
excellent cowboy decor designs to choose from.  Simply visit the
site, click on their "wallpaper and fabric" section and search for
the keyword "cowboy".  If you select a wall border, the best place on
the wall for it is generally the middle, top or ¾ from the top of the
room.

Floors:  If it is at all possible, the best type of flooring for a
room that is sporting cowboy decor is hardwood flooring.  If you are
unable to use hardwood, you can always choose a shaggy carpet, or a
soft plain rug that is beige, off white or brown.

Furniture: The best cowboy decor furniture is brown wooden furniture
that looks worn.  You can achieve this look by sanding the furniture
and leaving it with an unfinished look.  Great furniture items for
kids' rooms include bookshelves, dresser/chest of drawers, desk, and
a trundle or loft bed.

Room accessories: Depending on the age of your child, the size of the
room, and how much you can spend, there are different cowboy decor
accessories you can add to give their room that extra special touch,
and include:

* Window treatments - possible ones that match the bedding.
* Wall art -  great places to look for cowboy posters or art prints
* Horse saddle
* Plush toys
* Cowboy hat
* Throw pillow and/or blanket
* Cowboy boots
* Figurines
* Area rugs
* Lamps or lamp shade
* Lasso
* Wooden toy box bench
* Rocking horse
* Clock

Creating a room with a cowboy decor theme can be a lot of fun.  Thus,
make sure you take the time to discover your options, and try not to
limit your imagination.
