There are lots of ways to bring the Wild Wild West into your nursery. Cowboy baby bedrooms can use any of the decorative accessories that you might use in western themes for an adult's bedroom. Other than the cowboy baby bedding set all of the decorations are completely interchangeable and can grow with your little cowpoke until he leaves for college.
Vintage posters, horseshoe drawer pulls, wallhangings and other Cowboy and Indian accessories can transform a plain vanilla room into a scene from a Spaghetti Western Movie.
If you need baby cowgirl decor rather than ideas for a cowboy baby nursery. Start with one of the western themed cowboy baby bedding sets that will appeal to the more feminine ranch hand. Take off to the dude ranch or the rodeo for cowgirls! That's right, don't forget that for every baby cowboy there's a little baby cowgirl to match!
A really cute way to decorate the windows in your cowboy baby nursery theme would be to use bandanas as your window treatments. Think how cute pink or bright yellow valances made from bandanas or any fabrics in a bandana print would be! Combine two or more colors by using navy blue and red scarves or any combination that works with your color scheme!
Here are some Wild Western ideas that I hope will inspire you to gather some cowboy baby decorations that you can build your cowboy baby nursery theme around. Starting with your nursery rug and working your way up to the ceiling to the nursery chandelier!
All of the accessories are clickable if you'd like more information on other sets of cowboy baby stuff that will coordinate with your baby's cowboy nursesry theme and decor.
A mirror is always a good choice to make any room; nursery or otherwise look larger, more spacious and well lit. This mirror's colorful frame with a pair of leather buckaroo style cowboy boots will work great for a unisex cowboy baby nursery theme.
To neutralize the colors in the mirror frame, hang an antique or vintage leather saddle, some spurs or a colorful horse blanket on the other walls. A seasoned lasso well worn from roping (out of your little baby Buckaroo's reach of course) gives an authentic look to the bunkhouse bedroom.
The mirror and a light wall paint is needed to keep these darker items from making your ranchstyle nursery decor too dark or heavy. A cowboy baby nursery theme needn't be too rough to get the idea across. Your western themed bedding and accessories take care of that job for you with no problem!
A cowboy nursery chandelier with whimsical handpainted cowboy motifs like boots and spurs might last through your child's nursery theme years and then mosey on into the family room! It ould look great in any rustic or ranch style room complimented by a set of western themed bedding or furniture.
Can you imagine the posse resting around the campfire on this fancy cowboy footstool or tuffet? With it's luscious tufting it's almost elegant. This is probably way too much luxury for the upper grazing pastures or an evening under the stars, but for a baby boy's nursery it's unique and just perfect! This will be a cowboy baby room that will compete with sleeping under a sky full of stars with only the cowpokes for company.
Dress a plain old baby dresser up some hardware shaped like a sheriff's tin badge, some hardware shaped like gold stars or even make your own out of horseshoes! When shopping for baby furnishings buy chests and armoires that will grow with your child. The top of a dresser can double as a changing table with some padding. Remove the padding and you've got a piece of furniture you can use for years.
Perfection is not a priority to cowpokes. If a piece is a little distressed, scarred or beat up, consider this as an authentic bunkhouse look.
Here are some more tips to get the fans of the old and the new Wild West started on their Cowboy Baby room decorating project.
Vintage cowboy and western items available on various auction sites that will give your cowboy baby nursery theme depth and a sense of history. Search for cowboy baby stuff such as
- Old sepia tone cowboy western pictures, cowgirls, cowboy boots, cowboy hats or Western Desert Scenery including cactus or spectacular sunsets
- Colorful horse blankets or cowboy theme baby quilts to use as accent pieces for your western themed bedding, wall hangings or for custom window treatments
For a baby boy's cowboy baby nursery theme, you could choose a dusty ivory or sand tone paint color for the nursery wall. For a little cowgirl's nursery the paint colors can be taken from any of the vivid colors found in the desert's color palette. This can be an azure blue or a wonderful rose shade commonly seen in the peaceful desert sunsets.
Be careful not to overpower the other cowboy accessories you have collected for the baby's room. A bright cowboy theme quilt or blanket needs a neutral background so that the focus can be on your collectible that you've purchased with such care and not the nursery wall itself! If your wall decorations are primarily constructed of rope lassos, leather and metal, bright wall paint, wallpaper or wallpaper borders can be used without risk of pulling attention away from your decorative items.
A rustic board floor and other comfortably worn bunkhouse style furnishings will fit well with your cowboy baby nursery theme. To keep the overall feel of the room from becoming too drab, colorful nursery rugs and cowboy baby bedding sets using a colorful print fabric can be helpful.
Start a Classic Cowboy Movie Star Memorabilia collection focusing on famous Western Movie Stars such as Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter or John Wayne just to name a few. Vintage western movie art posters and prints may be the perfect choice for Western wall art. Choose the right one and you will have one stop shopping for all the colors and Western ambience you could ever need for your cowboy baby nursery theme! There's no need to break the bank buying old originals; you can get poster prints to frame at a very reasonable price.
There's a lot of room here to diversify your theme from Southwestern, to Old Western to contemporary mystical Sedona. Use your imagination and unique personal taste to create a one of a kind room.
