Western Rugs with HorsesBelow a console table with a shell white top and curved-top, a pair of cube ottomans in smaller sizes are covered in a grid-patterned fabric. Celery Jones' large-scale custom art brings the Texas landscape inside. Cowboy boots add a quintessential Texan touch. This house is connected by a series of staircases via open railings or stairwells. The space is dominated by a bold, red-and-black rug that leads the eye. An installation of vintage Bracero Hats hangs on the staircase between the first floor and the second floor of a Mexican-inspired restaurant. This display is paired with a rustic wooden dresser and mounted metal horse head mounts to create a strong sense of authenticity. Braceros were Mexican laborers who were employed in fields, especially in California during WWII, when American workers were fighting overseas.
Two large buffalo prints and a graphic pillow in turquoise are enough to make this room feel Western. This boho-chic bedroom captures the bright colors of Arizona's desert sunset with pops of yellow, coral, and pink. The space will grow with the little one thanks to its shiplap walls, wooden floors and neutral curtains.

There are three types, "sale," hand-knotted, or "Soumak," of western rugs. The most commonly used rug type is the "sale", which comes in many price ranges and offers a wider variety. Other types of rugs include "sale", which can be more costly and more durable, and "hand-knotted", which tends to be more detailed. Oriental carpets come from India and China. This type of interior design is often correlated to many different styles of rug. You might find yourself in search of a Southwest rug or a tribal rug. Southwest rugs work well together, for instance.
Western style can look both luxurious and rustic. The double slipper copper tub in this master bathroom is the focal point. It offers stunning views of the mountains and surrounding areas through the picture windows. Angelica Henry from Arizona chose to soften this space by using drapery panels with antler print and pendant lights.
Contrasting with the black-andwhite mosaic tile floor, a light blue vanity set and brass pulls make a striking contrast. A cactus looks great up top, but can be quite spiky. The bathroom's two sides can be divided by a pocket doors. The tile pattern on the floor visually unites them. You can see the desert theme in both spaces with the sandy-colored cabinets. The rug and cactus accents are both real and digital.
