Decorate A Western Bathroom

Create a Western bathroom with rustic appeal.


While bathrooms are often one of the most used rooms of a home, their decoration is sometimes overlooked. It is important to carry the style of a home throughout its various rooms for a congruent and harmonious look and feel. Many homeowners prefer a more rustic approach to the decors of their homes. By adding Western elements to the bathroom space, the result is a room with rustic visual appeal.


Instructions


1. Paint the walls a rustic color. Western interior decorating often uses a color palette of nature-inspired hues, such as green, tan, brown or gray, with pops of warm colors.








2. Choose a Western-inspired shower curtain. There are many motifs that enhance the overall Western bathroom decor of a space, including horses or cowboys.


3. Hang Western-style towel holders. Buy towel holders with horseshoe motifs, lone star embellishments or cowboy silhouettes.


4. Add thick, thirsty towels in hues to match the color of the walls or one of the colors in the shower curtain. Roll up the towels and display them in woven baskets, or hang them on towel hangers, and tie them with a decorative rope for a Western look and feel.


5. Hang a large mirror over the vanity in a style that reflects the West, such as one with a frame made from weathered barn wood or covered in leather or faux animal hide.


6. Hang Western-style lighting fixtures such as sconces on either side of the vanity or a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Look for deer antler styles, rawhide skin lampshade or wildlife scenes.
