Recreate The Farm In Your Home Using Rooster Decor
Do you like to
do something different with your home? How about using the table colors of a Rhode
Island Red rooster? Going with a theme like roosters would mean a unique home
that will stand out above the crowd. When using a theme, it is best to use a
neutral color as the base to make your chosen colors pop.
The appeal of a theme revolving around roosters has many draws. Some like the contrast of colors. Others may simply like roosters and chickens. Many equate living on a farm to relaxation and tranquillity, so they want to capture that essence. Whatever your particular reason is, it is good to reason keep the following tips in mind.
You can use all the colors on a rooster or opt to concentrate on a single color. If totally redoing your home, you can go wild and use all the colors to complete the look. If only doing minor redecorating, you can choose one color that best matches your existing decor.
As previously mentioned, you have to use a neutral color for your background. Good choices would be: beige, cream, sand, or light brown. Paint your walls with either one so that the overall look would be easy to balance with the rooster colors.
Next step needs you to play favourites. Choose the rooster breed that you like the most and use that breed’s colors to balance the rest of your furnishings. If you choose to go with a Rhode Island Red, you can use bright red curtains, upholstery, tablecloths, and red area rugs to add focus points to certain rooms in your house. Learning how to accessorize can make or break your rooster theme.
After choosing the colors to go with your rooster theme, you will then choose a rooster picture or painting. Have your canvass framed using a simple stained wooden frame to add a rustic appeal to the painting. 8”x 10” or 5” x 7” frames hung at eye level will definitely get noticed. Another way of going about this is using several smaller pictures hung at different heights. This breaks the monotony and creates points of interest.
Don’t forget your kitchen. Find rooster-themed plates, bowls, silverware setting, and salt, pepper shakers, anything that can be used to enhance the look you are going for.
For your kitchen, you can base the colors off a different breed of rooster than the one you used for the rest of the house. As with the other rooms, use a neutral shade as a background so that the look will be more balanced.
Look online or at specialty stores for your kitchen utensils and trinkets. Another good place to look are at flea markets and garage sales, not only will these be cheap, sometimes you can get an entire set from someone who got tired of the theme and want to unload them at a low price.
You might get too excited with the colors and slightly overdo it. Instead of repainting, consider using a white flokati rug under a coffee table or lounger. This will break up the vivid colors and tone them down a little. This little finishing touch will be separate the truly unique from a half-baked copy.
