The Backbone Of Rural Living - Always In Style! Country Home Vacation Cabin Ranchland Bungalow Log House Themes Ideas Articles Art Furnishing Sources HOME INDEX SHOPPING
Western Theme fits into decor a variety of ways and in a variety of styles. ALL THE WAY! For a complete look, it needs to be determined how rustic or refined you wish the look to be. The options range from rustic country cabin all the way to the refined Cattle Baron's Ranch House Style or the Spanish influence of Southwest flavour.
Combining styles is most appealing, but requires considerable skill to accomplish successfully. For example, in a strictly rustic Log Cabin theme with pine log furniture, plank floors, primitive furniture & accessories, a finely turned accent chair would not be a good choice. And vice versa - in refined decor, primitive pieces, such a log constructed chair may not be most suited.
TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY ECLECTICISM Decor in these styles provides great 'neutral' foundations for elements of many other decor accents. Common contemporary home design with basic transitional fittings and furnishings often require the character that more distinct styles have to offer.
This site offers over 130 pages of interior design basics. Working knowledge of the 'elements of design' is highly recommended. Another highly overlooked and under-rated, yet very important area of interior design is effective lighting . This one element alone can make or break decor.
Once an understanding of interior elements is developed and practiced, selection and placement becomes very natural in space planning arrangements. Western Decor Index on this site lists many pages of resources DECORATING EBOOKS
