But that's only half of the story! Western area rugs offer many design benefits. They can bring a sense of coziness into any room making them the perfect accent rug. They're also sure to bring some personality into your space.
The white paint on the vaulted ceiling of this California living space helps to bounce natural light around the room, and lets the bright colors in the rug & furniture shine.

A leather bench made from rugged leather is the ideal place to rest vintage Stetsons or work gloves. Utilitarian hooks are nailed into the wall and can hold fringe vests, jeans jackets and even a lasso. You can use well-worn cowboy boots and subtle colors, such as a flat-weave cobalt rug, to line your floor. Layering textiles over plump leather sofas will soften the room. In the entryway, continue the color theme with maroon and navy plaids, shearling throws and an abstract rug. Wyoming-based authors are featured here, as well as goods such blankets, cushions, and ceramics. It can be very tasteful, too.

Southwestern-style requires warm earth tones. You can see this master suite in its authentic Southwestern style, with the wall art and carvings. Buffalo check was originally created in the East. However, it is named after a real buffalo that once roamed West. A black-and-white buffalo-check duvet and a leather hat give this bedroom a traditional feel.

This bedroom features southwest-inspired bedding and artwork.
