Decorate A Western Or Cowboy Bathroom

Decorating your bathroom in a Western or cowboy theme can be fun and different. From cowboy hats to horseshoes, there are several various pieces of Western and cowboy decor to choose from that can give your room the exact strong and rustic vibe you are looking for. Whether you create some of the decor yourself or purchase it, it can turn your plain bathroom into an intriguing Western or cowboy room.


Instructions


1. Opt for a light beige or cream-colored paint for the walls. When you think of Western scenes, you most likely envision an exorbitant amount of brown and neutral colors. A cream color or a light tan will work well on the walls and with the decor in the rest of the room.


2. Put out towels with horse embellishments. If you cannot find towels with horses on them, you can create your own. Go to your local craft store and choose appliqués that you can attach onto the bottom of plain cream or tan-colored towels.


3. Hang a cowboy hat on the back of the door. If you do not want to buy an expensive cowboy hat, you can purchase an inexpensive one from a yard sale or an online auction site. It can hang up easily on the hook on the back of the door and make for an interesting focal piece of decor in the room.








4. Use horseshoes as decorations. You can put a few on top of the toilet tank and hang a couple on the walls. Should you want to add a bit of extra storage, buy a natural wood box from a craft store and, using metal glue, adhere a horseshoe on the top of the box. Using metal glue, you can also adhere a horseshoe onto a plain towel ring to give it a more Western feel.


5. Use a pair of cowboy boots for toilet paper storage. Buy a pair of very large cowboy boots and put your toilet paper inside. It can keep the toilet paper clean and out of sight. The cowboy boots can act as an interesting piece of decor to have in a bathroom.


6. Choose a shower curtain that complements the decor. There are plenty that have a wide variety of Western decor on them, such as horses, cowboys, cowboy boots or horseshoes. Whatever scenery or pattern is on the shower curtain, make sure that the colors do not clash with the rest of the colors in the room.








7. Hang Western or cowboy-inspired artwork. To add a few interesting pieces into the room, look for old photographs that are black and white or in sepia tone on auction sites or in antique stores. Hang the framed photographs on the wall for an interesting touch. You can also hang prints of horses running free, a poster print of an old Western movie or a painting of a cowboy.
