When I envisioned a western theme, I instantly thought of a palette of black and red.  I wanted to create some interest and keep the room from looking flat, so I knew that I had to come up with another color to give it that “POP!”  At first, I contemplated using denim, but knew that denim wouldn’t necessarily give the room that “WOW” factor that so many of you are looking for. 

Yellow was the answer!

How would I incorporate yellow into a western theme? 

SUNFLOWERS!  Lots and lots of sunflowers!

Red and yellow look great together and it instantly changed the entire look of the room!

This was a fun room to create and I especially LOVE the window boxes on the bulletin boards (window boxes were created out of empty Kleenex boxes and stapled to the bulletin board).  This is a great way to incorporate sunflowers into your western themed classroom!

Think of using the following décor items in your western themed classroom…

~galvanized buckets/pails

~sunflowers

~cowboy hats

~bandanas

~sheriff badges

~bales of hay (keep them in packages)

~rustic barn wood bulletin board paper

~wooden buckets

~Paper Star (a focal point must!)

~cowboy boots

~horse prints

~checkered ribbon

~twine to hang banners and

~barn scene roll to cover walls

Hope you enjoy my vision of a western themed classroom!
