A found item, such as this broken star, can make a wonderful accent in a western bathroom.
Next to the kitchen, the bathroom is the second most used room in the house. It is also the most expensive to renovate, due to the plumbing issues. But just because you're stuck with your bathroom, that doesn't mean you have to be stuck with the décor. You can easily change the style of your bathroom by changing a few cosmetic things.
Color
Look at the colors of the southwest and west. The prairie is filled with brown wheat, green sagebrush and red dirt, brown sand and purple flowers. In addition, there are deep purple mountains and tall green aspen trees with white and black trunks. All of these colors can be incorporated into the color scheme of through new paint, towels, rugs and shower curtains.
Found Items
Some found items placed as accents in your bathroom may also help to bring to mind the spirit of the west. A horseshoe hung as a towel rack, or a child's sized cowboy boot that doubles as a toothbrush holder can help set a mood. Don't neglect estate auctions, where you may find old barn stars that bring to mind a U.S. marshall's badge.
DIY
When it comes to the western bathroom, don't underestimate the power of doing things yourself. You can easily create trim by stenciling latigo rope and stars along the borders of your ceiling and tile. A set of curtains can be made out of bandanna cloth or lace with just a few hours and a sewing machine. Or a set of decorative towels can be created by sewing western accents on to a set of discount store hand towels.
