Horse Theme Room Ideas

I am doing a new horse theme for my room. I really am not sure what do get for it. Like sheets, wallpaper,etc. But, I was thinking about green turf. Also, how should I do it? We want to get it done by the summer.

Thanks!

First thing is first- go to this link... http://www.target.com/Cowgirl-Flip- ... x=target&rh=k%3ACowgirl%20bed&page=1
If you want, you can take the colors from this bedset (after buying it, or even without buying it) and use them as your main colors for the room. On the wall, paint some clever horse saying, or use this one:

"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyways." or "Cowgirl at heart!" With creative writing. Paint the closet door as a stable or barn door that still coordinate with the bed set's original colors. At the top corners of the window, put horseshoes painted one of the main colors. Above the bed, hang a coat hanger (the four pronged one is best) and put two cowboy hats on the edge hangers, and two ropes on the two middle ones.

At target and walmart, there are also curtains that are the main colors. Use these, and get some horse shoes and put them on the inside of the window sill, facing outwards with the two ends. You can pull the curtains back and stick them in these- they hold them back perfectly.

Wall pops are good too, but don't cordinate these with the bed color. Get black ones, it gives the MOST exciting touch to the room, especially a pink or lime green wall. Have some throw pillows that have horses on them, and to add a nice touch you could even sew (or stitch) on rope around the edges. A pair of pink of lime green boots are GREAT to put beside the bed.

RE: Horse Theme Room Ideas

What I did is I painted my room brown and I got a horse themed blanket Then above my bed, I put cowboy boots. Then on each side of the boots, I put spurs.I got an old like antique saddle and put that on my saddle rack. I put an bridle on the wall above the saddle and I put bits on each side of it. That looks really cool. I have a big mirror and on the top corners, I put spurs on them. In the middle of my room, I have a long white furry rug. Make to sure to get like a western bed or a log bed, and I painted my closet door like a barn or stall door it turned out great.

I think you should get a horse mural and put it on the wall where the bed would go. Paint the walls a nice light brown color(depending on what the mural looks like) Get western type bedding. There is furniture that is made of logs. Its really cool. So use log headboards, dressers etc. Hardwood floors would look really nice. On top of your door put an antique horse shoe. Thats what I did and it looks really nice. For a fun craft, paint over your window or wherever "A Cowgirl At Heart" in black. Make it in a fun font though. Have your closet doors and door look like a stall door.

This is just me but I think that a good wall color for a mountain/horses theme bedroom would be dark green, maroon, or beige. I would include lots of horseshoes and a wooden-stlye bedframe and bedside table. Maybe even some metal wall art or something.

We just did this in our little girl's room. We painted it pink and put up a jagged edged picket fence wallpaper at the bottom of the wall. We also put string lights with horses and cowgirl hats around the ceiling...available at Target. I ordered the "Pretty Pony" sheets from The Company Store and just use a quilt with it. Her room is adorable. We also put down laminate flooring. She has a loft bed with a play space underneath where she plays with her dollhouse and horses. Target also has some other accessories that are cute like a "Cowgirl" hook for hanging hats or necklaces. We also put up a picket fence shelf to hold other things. I used a Taupe curtain for her window, that I altered to the look I wanted. It was a simlpl tab top curtain from Big Lots. I ironed pink ribbon down both sides to be able to tie it up...so that it is more like a shade. I also tied pink toole bows at the around each tab at the top. The colors look great together. Hope that helps.

In your browser line on your computer, type in the name WALLIES and check out their site. They will also send you a free catalog. I ordered the horse wallpaper murals from them for my computer room. They are probably about 28" tall and come in a set of two. They look great and all you have to do is wet them and press them on the wall and they don't come loose. I have them plus a border that I chose to put up by the ceiling. Lots of compliments and some friends even copied my theme. You will love them. They also have many different themes for whatever you need. Enjoy!!

How about hardwood floors (barnfloor). A wooden bed. Mint green walls, with wooden trim in corners & top of walls. A paper border about a foot down from the ceiling, with horses/ponies on it. Pictures of them on the walls as well, with lots of grass in the pictures & maybe flowers (wildflowers). Have some wildflowers, real or silk, in vases in your room. Have real horseshoes over the door & windows.

Paint horse fencing along the bottom part of the wall.
