Trail of Painted Ponies

Redecorating a room can be tricky, especially if you’re starting from scratch. It often helps to settle on an overarching theme and then build small details and accents around it. Football fans can create a shrine to their favorite team, outfitting the room with posters, framed jerseys and other assorted memorabilia. Aspiring musicians can make a baby grand piano into the centerpiece of the room and then shape the rest of the space accordingly.

For horse lovers, the chance to fill an entire room with equine décor is too good to pass up. You might want to begin with a leather couch, setting the tone in bold shades of golden brown. Then put up a few framed horse pictures and line up some collectible ponies on the coffee table. Make sure that you don’t overcrowd the space; an environment is much more welcoming when you can breathe easily and relax.
