Cowboy Decor for a Toddler

Fabrics

• People often associate particular fabrics with the cowboy, including denim and bandana materials as well as spotted cowhide items. Use these items to set the decorative tone immediately in your toddler's room. Get a bedspread made of denim; to add an additional cowboy touch, paint designs such as lassos or horseshoes on the borders of it with fabric paint. Make throw pillows and curtains out of a bandanas. Use a variety of colors and patterns to create some visual interest. Place faux cowhide rugs on the floor in front of the bed or find cowhide pillows.

Stenciling

• Stencils provide you with a quick and easy way to add a cowboy pattern to your child's walls. Paint stencil patterns on the area close to the ceiling, on the trim or on the doors. Add a base coat of paint on the walls, such as blue or rust. Choose patterns such as the bucking broncos, cowboy hat or the kokopelli dancers. Select a contrasting color such as off-white to make the stencils stand out.

Wooden Furniture

• Wood furniture brings a rustic, Old West look to a cowboy-themed room. When you're looking for items for your toddler's room, go to flea markets and look for old wooden barrels, wooden trunks with iron fixtures and wooden benches. Use the barrel as a night table to put beside your child's bed. The old wooden trunk becomes a repository for his toys, and the bench provides a place for him to sit or to store items away.

Decorative Accessories

• The decorative accessories you choose for your toddler's cowboy-themed can provide an element of fun for your toddler as well as a decorative function for your child's room. Choose items such as a wooden rocking horse with a furry mane. Look for toys such as Woody, the cowboy from "Toy Story." Find some Western-style toy guns or plastic cowboy figures at a thrift store and put them in a shadowboxes to hang on the wall.
