Equestrian Interiors

If you have a love for all things horsey then why not add some elegant and sophisticated decor to your home this season with a stylish EQUESTRIAN interior design. This look can be used to create a rural, country inspired design or a feminine and chic boutique look using a variety of soft furnishings, furniture and accessories that will transform your home interior.

If you wish to create a stylish feature wall in your chosen room then opt for horse print wallpaper that is sure to create a focal point in your home. For a classic equestrian design, choose a hunting or horse jumping style print that can be displayed in vintage cream and blue or warm red and brown colour scheme for a rustic country design. if you prefer a more girly and chic interior feel then select crisp white and pastel coloured wallpaper featuring delicate horse shaped silhouettes or metallic gold or silver horse heads for a refined designer feel. For a hallway or tack room then you can find some fabulous wallpaper featuring saddles, boots, stirrups and helmets that will create a rich and luxurious finish within your room.

When selecting curtains for your interior space opt for simple materials such as cotton and linen with accents of brown, taupe or green that provide a natural outdoor colour scheme. You could opt for horse print designs and rural imagery that will stand out against a plain feature wall or choose a hunting print pattern featuring horses, hounds and foxes. For a more colourful finish, opt for deep navy, forest green or rustic red that will mimic the traditional colours of rider’s outfits. Select co-ordinating cushions with horse shapes and patterns and horse jumping scenes or for a more fairytale and feminine feel opt for white, pink, blue and silver cushions featuring elegant white steeds that will create a light and elegant feel in your chosen room. Team with a brown or white faux fur rug or shag pile rug with metallic accents that will create a focal point in the centre of a living room, dining room or hallway.

For a rich and rustic look that is perfect for a country style equestrian home, opt for oak, mahogany or walnut furniture items that will create a warm and cosy feel in any room of the home. Choose chunky statement items such as a traditional dresser, large dining table or bed frame that will take centre stage within the room. White painted furniture items will create a soft and feminine feel within the room and can be teamed with chrome or mirrored accessories for a sleek and modern finish or period style vintage horse ornaments for a more shabby chic design. Classic homes can be accented with horseshoes and equestrian themed accessories and wall art that will create a more stately feel within the room.
