Western decor doesn't necessarily have to look rustic or country. The modern and clean design of this bedroom is enhanced by a red Southwestern stripes upholstered armchair. The Santa Fe guest room is simple, but it feels cozy thanks to its light wood furnishings, reclaimed wooden ceiling, white bed, and soft wood furniture. A skylight, two recessed lights and a pair or sconces keep this space bright.
There's no doubt that clothing and accessories are a huge part of the Western aesthetic, and they make excellent props when outfitting a room. Consider vintage-inspired lace dresses as decorative window treatments, and lay out turquoise and silver jewelry on a tray. It not only utilizes your bijoux as art, but makes for easy access when getting dressed in the morning. Vintage belts and hats add layered detail when strung over a mirror or chair, and cowboy boots look pretty when lined up underneath a fireplace or window.
There are three types, "sale," hand-knotted, or "Soumak," of western rugs. The most commonly used rug type is the "sale", which comes in many price ranges and offers a wider variety. Other types of rugs include "sale", which can be more costly and more durable, and "hand-knotted", which tends to be more detailed. Oriental carpets come from India and China. This type of interior design is often correlated to many different styles of rug. You might find yourself in search of a Southwest rug or a tribal rug. Southwest rugs work well together, for instance.
