Western wall decor works well with a rustic, country or Southwestern theme in the room. Using the right textures and colors can help to give the space a warm, country-style ambiance that invites people to sit down and stay awhile. Decorating with farm tools and other things representative of the Western lifestyle can help give the wall area an authentic appeal. Browsing thrift shops is a good way to collect Western decor for a bargain price. Does this Spark an idea?

Make Fish Net Rope Decor
Fish net decor is fun, original and economical. Hang it on the walls, use it as a canopy for a fisherman's bed or decorate it with shells and floats.

Make an Inviting Reading Area in a Classroom
For some students, reading can be a chore, especially when they associate books with a cold, uncomfortable classroom. While some schools are made of concrete blocks, others lack windows, and still others feature plain gray walls. These environments can make students feel nervous, tired or distracted. To remedy this problem, many teachers create reading areas or nooks in a corner or small section of the classroom. Mimicking a home environment through decor and furnishings can stimulate students' creativity, draw students' interest and make students comfortable while they read.
