Is it any wonder so many little girls are obsessed with horses? They're tall, sleek, magnificent animals, and riding one is utterly exhilarating. You can almost taste the freedom that comes from riding an animal so fast and powerful. Sometimes the horse love lasts only a few months, but for other girls, it becomes a lifelong obsession.
How can you make your little girl's room into a horse haven? Follow these tips to create a horse bedroom theme that will have visions of ponies dancing in her head for years to come.
The horse bedding of your dreams
The first thing to do, of course, is to find some horse bedding to set the tone for your horse bedroom. If it's a western theme you're going for (think ranches, cowboys, wide open spaces, and wild mustangs), look for horse bedding with colors like sage green, beige, tan, and dark brown. Also look for bedding that depicts horses running free, rather than penned up in a corral or barn.
It's also a good idea to get more than one comforter set. If you're sticking with the same theme, then multiple horse bedding sets will let you update your horse bedroom without a full redecorating job. It's a quick and easy way to give a bedroom a facelift.
Western walls for your horse bedroom
If you're going for more of a farm theme, see about painting the closet to look like a barn door, or maybe about painting a corral on the walls. If it's a western theme you're after, see about getting lassos or horse shoes as decoration.
If your daughter is old enough, candles or scented oils that recall the smell of a meadow will make a great addition to a horse bedroom. Pictures or blankets that show wide open spaces are also good decorating ideas. You can even put one up on the wall instead of a picture.
Horse accessories – adding the final touch
There are a number of accessories you can get to add to the theme of your horse bedroom. Light switch covers, outlet covers, model horses, and nightlights (depending on the age of your daughter, of course) are just a few that may not immediately come to mind. If your girl has her own bathroom, then you can bring the theme in there with a tissue box cover and a shower curtain.
This is just a starting point. Talk to your girl about what kind of horse bedroom she wants, and get her input on the decorating. You'll be able to give her the bedroom of her dreams. Good luck!
