How to Decorate With Vintage Cowboy Boots

Line up a collection of vintage cowboy boots on a high, tall bookshelf, a shelving unit over a window or on top of cabinetry in a kitchen. Add lighting to the shelf to show off the collection at night.

Place a well-worn pair of vintage cowboy boots next to a fireplace to create a nostalgic look. Flank with some rusty western spurs to enhance the display.

Enclose an especially valuable pair of cowboy boots in a large glass or acrylic box. Top the box with a glass tabletop to use as a side table or display in an office space as is.

Take advantage of a narrow wall space between two doorways, windows or rooms by displaying boots vertically. Mount short shelves and place one boot above the next to fill the space or simply hang cowboy boots from a nail driven through the leather of the boot.

Decorate a patio space with vintage cowboy boots filled with flowering, seasonal plants. Fill the bottom of the boots with rocks to provide stability and drainage, and then place potted plants into the top of the boots.

Place table legs into four vintage cowboy boots to enhance the look of a rustic table in a kitchen and add some country charm.

Take photos of your favorite vintage boots in various locations, both natural (like in a field) and unexpected (like at a construction site), and then print and frame as a series. Hang in the bathroom or kitchen, or print large images to hang over the sofa.
