Western House Decorations
It's breathtakingly beautiful in the American West, whether it's in Utah's deserts or Wyoming’s Rocky Mountains. The Shaw Ranch is located within the Wind River Range. Large windows strategically placed in order to frame the views bring picture-perfect scenes into every room. If views aren’t your focal point, or if you don’t have them, large-scale photography can bring the outside in. For inspiration, look to Ansel Adams's work, which is some of the most famous imagery from the American West. A black-and-white photograph of wild horses is displayed on the fireplace mantel in the Shaw Ranch study. A candlestick made from deer antler, and a chair handmade by a local craftsman are just a few of the elements that celebrate Western riches.
In this custom showplace, kitchen appliances disappear into the art wall, which adds vibrant color and energy to the non-traditional kitchen. The wall is clad in reclaimed barn wood, and artist Rob Stenberg painted the design on the panels. Touch-latch cabinetry keeps the wall looking more like an art installation than kitchen cabinetry. A custom hemlock block island looks time worn and was fabricated by the homeowner.
The brightly colored curtains in the family room and boldly patterned pillows add a pop of color to this neutral space. The throw pillows in Southwestern-style add a punch of color to this space with their red hues. The back porch is adorned with swinging daybeds and kilim pillows. It's the perfect place to relax. The space can be further enhanced by adding seating in the form of colorful butterflies-style chairs that face the pool.
Contrasting with the black-andwhite mosaic tile floor, a light blue vanity set and brass pulls make a striking contrast. A cactus looks great up top, but can be quite spiky. The bathroom's two sides can be divided by a pocket doors. The tile pattern on the floor visually unites them. You can see the desert theme in both spaces with the sandy-colored cabinets. The rug and cactus accents are both real and digital.
Solid colors: If you are looking for a classic and simple look, these rugs will be a good choice. There are many colors to choose from so that you can find the one that suits your home.
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. The hanging hammock chair is a nod to California boho (another Western style). The lodge-style bedroom is dominated by large, heavy antlers. This bedroom features southwest-inspired bedding and artwork.
