If you are into the Western decorating theme, you can have a lot of fun
using it to decorate your kitchen. In fact, you can take one element
of the theme and go crazy with it. For instance, one Western decorating
idea is to focus on a Western object like some
cowboy boots or a cowboy
hat. You can even combine elements and use both of them as your
central decorating theme.

You can find all types of decor in the
Western decorating theme. Try looking for cookie jars or other ceramics
that you can sit out on your counter for an
interesting effect. Also
look for western themed curtains and light switch covers. One fun way
to spend a Saturday afternoon is to scour the local antique shops for
Western themed decor. You'll be surprised at the interesting items you
can find! You can use browns, red, navy, or cream to pull in the
Americana theme to the mix as well.

One great way to pull off
the theme is to also look for accents made of unfinished wood. You can
often find tables and chairs that actually look like they were made with
unfinished logs. These are perfect for a Western decorated kitchen.
In addition, you can use photo frames that look unfinished and put
pictures of your family or of western mountains and hills in them. You
can also find many items made from tree branches or logs as well as
items made from deer antlers and items covered in cow hide (either fake
or real!)
Another great thing to use is copper or black iron
accents. You can get away with either of these. If you have a pot
hanger over your kitchen island, you should try mixing both copper
pieces and cast iron pieces. In addition, you can even use cast iron
skillets or pans as wall decor and hang them accordingly. And don't
forget pot holders, tablecloths and dish towels made with Western theme
fabrics.
Try your own Western decorating ideas in your kitchen to
see exactly what works for you and what doesn't. The Western theme is
perfect if you love to constantly feel like you are the "Wild West" or
in a log cabin. It can look great in any home if you are consistent
with the decor. Using Western style accents on the counters, window
treatments, floors and walls will help pull the look together and make
you feel like you are rustling up grub for your cowhands on a Western
ranch even if you are living in a modern city home!
