Be sure you understand what you personally find to be restful when deciding how to create your charming western haven. Consider all of the many different elements that can make up the western style. The western style of decorating can be created using many different elements. On one end of the spectrum are Native American, Mexican or Spanish accents while on the other end of the spectrum are elements that are totally western. What do you find to be charming? Create a happy look in your western bedroom, knowing what you would prefer to see when you first open your eyes in the morning. The design elements and the look you wish to create will help you choose the larger pieces of bedroom furniture. For example, if you prefer a bedroom that is more inspired by western or cowboy elements, then you might think about choosing a wrought iron bed frame. Western bedding can compliment this type of bed frame offering a distinctive cowboy look. Cowboy boots, bandannas, lassos and branding items may be used to decorate as well as western art and paintings on the walls. For a creative touch, use a cowhide on the floor to add texture, color and warmth. Another option would be to decorate your bedroom with Native American bedding and accents. 

With increasing popularity, many people today choose to decorate their western themed room with Indian artwork and artifacts. This is a beautiful and enduring design style to choose for your western bedroom, whether your family history actually includes Native American heritage or you simply respect the Native American culture. Look for elements that will provide rest and relaxation. An excellent object to consider for inclusion in your Native American bedroom is a western style bed spread. Many are woven in intricate patterns and colors, and depict a cowboy-Indian theme. Consider adding a dream catcher to your decor. Such dream catchers are thought to hold the destiny of ones future and are capable of sifting bad dreams from good ones, according to folklore of the Lakota Indians. Other useful items such as bows and arrows, sand paintings and rustic crosses make an excellent decorating choice. 

If you choose to decorate your bedroom in a Native American style, a rustic wooden bed frame would be a great option to consider. For an authentic look, textured and colorful western bedding can be used in a Native American design as well as actual fur covered hides. Some type of floor covering or rug would be ideal if the floors in your room are stone or wooden. When choosing a rug, there are lots of different options from which to choose. Look for something as simple as a Mexican blanket or something more intricate such as a colorful woven floor runner. When designing your western bedroom, curtains or drapes are another important consideration. Many people struggle with sleep if even the tiniest bit of light comes into their bedroom. As a result, window coverings can become extremely important. If there is a lot of exterior lighting that surrounds your home or if your bedroom faces the east, then it can be imperative to make sure that you choose a heavy enough window covering to block that light. 

The wonderful thing about western style decorating is that window coverings can be as heavy as you would like. To offer natural lighting during the day, simply pull the window covering back. Be sure to include lots of interesting accent pieces when decorating your western bedroom. Accent pieces are what can make a bedroom go from ho-hum to truly extraordinary. There are many accent and accessory pieces from which to choose, depending on the exact way in which you choose to decorate your bedroom in the western style. Decorative items you may wish to include are kiva ladders, rawhide lamps, hand painted leather hides, or Indian pottery and baskets. Choose items that appeal to your own personal sense of relaxation and then prepare to enjoy your own private haven, your western bedroom.
