It is interesting how you can go into a well decorated home and find a ho-hum kitchen. Sure, the kitchen has nice finishes such as marble countertops and travertine tiles, but the walls are often devoid of decoration. This is probably because kitchens have moisture and oils in the air from cooking that can get into the air and ruin common household decorations. This does not mean however that you cannot decorate your kitchen beautifully. Does this Spark an idea?
Make a Lariat Rope Cross for Wall Decor
A lariat is a rope with a loop on the end that tightens once the loop is placed or thrown over something like a cow, calf or horse. Lariats are a fixture for ranchers and rodeo cowboys and cowgirls. The lariat evokes the open prairie, the cowboy heritage and nature. While the lariat continues to have a utilitarian function, it is also used in creating ornamentation in homes with a Western or natural theme.
Hang a Horse Saddle on a Wall for Decoration
Hanging an authentic horse saddle on your wall can add a realistic element to your western or country-themed room decor. Saddles were intended for function rather than use as a decoration -- and can be challenging to hang from the walls due to their design and weight. Saddles have to be anchored properly to the walls or they can fall and present a serious hazard to anyone in the room at the time. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Decals Stick to Bumpy Walls
Wall decals are a great way to introduce a design into any room, especially play rooms, nurseries and bedrooms. They're inexpensive, attractive and make a big design statement. Wall decals work best on surfaces that are completely flat. However, many homes have bumpy or textured walls. You can still use a decal, but a little extra prep work is required. Consider how long you want to keep the wall decal on your walls and whether the necessary alteration to your wall is worth it. Does this Spark an idea?
