Bringing the Old West to Modern Home Decorating

What could be more fun when you think about it than incorporating the old story of cowboys and Indians into your home d ้ cor? For those who love a good story and has a wild sense of adventure this could be an incredibly fabulous design theme for your next home decorating project. This is a great way to bring the rustic charm of the old west into the modern world of today's busy lifestyles.

Immediately visions of the hacienda with knotty pine and leather upholstered furniture comes to mind. Massive fireplaces and antlers everywhere are also first and foremost in my mind when this design idea pops into my head. The possibilities are endless as your imagination and limited only by your budget in all honesty. This is a look that could be pulled off, however, on almost any budget for those who are willing to make a couple of thrift Store purchases along the way while investing a lot Elbow grease.

One thing you want to be careful in this area are not taking it too far. It could be so easy to do and it will only withdraw from the charm and appeal, if you do it. Choose the accessories carefully, but implementing them is minimal. This should also help with potential budget restrictions as well as keep you on track to find the perfect accessory in place to collect everything you see only to find later that many simply will not work with the style and design that you hope to achieve in the long run.

Wood flooring and wood paneled walls are a great statement for this kind of d ้ cor and stone for a fireplace (if there is a fireplace of courses). You want solid furniture rather than something that seems fragile or delicate, and you certainly want to keep the room masculine appearance, if at all possible. Home decor in the old west is not for bachelors alone but too much of a feminine touch will simply kill the appeal all together. In fact, the less feminine touch better save these touch a romantic bedroom or bathroom than the primary areas that friends and family to visit.

You will also want to take pains to imitate the rustic nature of the old west in the kitchen. No delicate china patterns or tables with legs that looks like that may fall out with a fierce wind. This is a "Mans' style and decorate it to look as though it will withstand any punishment a man can hand to keep it fun and easy appeal of the remainder of the home. You can find modern sinks, fixtures, and hardware Designed to resemble the old west and beyond, if you look in the right places.

For those who are looking for something a little out of the ordinary this is a form of decoration, which completely fits the bill. See what wonderful schemes and dreams, you can come up with and what sort of tall tale will go along with your old west design story then create a story within the walls of your home. There is no better way to make home decorating than this.
