"Where do I find some really cool western bedding that doesn't scream COWGIRL or COWBOY?"
You will have to do it with color, pattern and pictures. Some nicely textured fabrics will help you out, too. Course woven Indian blankets, some decorative items rather than western or southwestern pictures would be better if you don't want to shout out the Old West theme in a teen's bedroom.
A WESTERN OR SOUTHWESTERN COLOR SCHEME for a BEDROOM
Some colors that would work might be:
- Rosy browns like russet, shades of chocolate brown as well as tan. You know, the colors your find in the earth, sand colors
- Subdued greens like sage
- If you want to cool it all down, indigo blue will do the trick, but keep it to a minimum and use it for accent only.
PATTERNS and SHAPES
To see what patterns and shapes would work in your theme, study the designs that the original inhabitants, the American Indians, used for their beading and blankets.
