Western decor doesn't have to be country or rustic. In this clean and contemporary bedroom, an upholstered armchair in a red Southwestern stripe adds just a dose of color and personality. Though simple in style, this Santa Fe guest bedroom feels extra cozy with its reclaimed wood ceiling, plush white bed and light wood furnishings. A skylight, recessed lighting and a pair of sconces keep the space as bright as possible.
To add luxury, pair rugged decor like a cowhide rug or thick flannel throws with elegant furniture like an antique daybed and a four-poster bed. To create the perfect sleeping environment, layer your bed with super-soft blankets, pillows, and bedding. To give your bed a homey feel, a quilt or bedspread featuring woven details in a muted blue and red color scheme will be a great choice. Pillows with geometric diamond patterns and striped throws in washed out hues will add color to the room. Warm, sun-kissed neutrals create a soothing backdrop. Wildflower-filled mason jars or ceramic pitchers help keep the room grounded in the Wild West.
A single textile can often give a space a Wild West vibe. Sarah Wittenbraker was the designer and owner of this kitchen. Her kitchen is minimalistic and kept white -- with one exception: a bright and graphic rug. In the kitchen and living space renovation, no drywall was used. Instead, the finished birch ceilings create organic warmth against concrete floors and metal beams. This space is modern and minimalist in its Southwestern-inspired style. Vigas (wood ceiling beams in traditional architecture adobe) are an iconic feature of the Southwest and New Mexico. They are the centerpiece of this sophisticated dining area. A large wooden table, ten slipper chair, and a buffet will welcome guests.
Lg, Western Area RugsThe only thing that makes this space feel Western is a graphic pillow with two different shades of turquoise and two large buffalo prints. Boho-chic bedrooms are filled with vibrant shades of pink, coral, and yellow that capture the Arizona desert's sunset colors. This space will grow with your little girl, thanks to the shiplap walls, neutral curtains and wood floors.
