I like several different types of styles for home decor, should I combine all or choose one?
These are the styles of decor I like - Southwest inspired such as Native American art, pottery, drums, cactus, zig zag lines, bold earthy colors etc; Canadian/Alaskan wildlife like moose, wolves, evergreen trees, pinecones, etc; and Asian inspired decor like bamboo plants, water fountains, windchimes, teapots, feng-shui, etc.
In my new home, should I try to incorporate parts from each or stick with one type the whole way through? I don't know how I could pick only one style and if I did, I would miss the others. What are your thoughts on this?
Pull something from each style that will blend with the other styles. For instance, the Indian pottery will work well with the bold earth colors as well as the fountain and bamboo plants mixed with other types of plants. You could take a couple of pieces of the pottery and make you own water fountain/feature...you could place a bowl or dish on a table filled with pinecones. Decorating is a personal choice..do what makes you feel good and use what you like..the key is to find a common color or element that pulls them together..Good luck and have fun

The Country Charm of Rooster Home Decor
There are plenty of reasons why so many people are attracted to rooster home decor. Perhaps it's because the rooster reminds them of time spent at a grandparent's farm. Or, maybe it's simply because they like the casual, down-home look for at least some of the accessories and accents in their home. Whatever the reason, rooster designs and depictions can add a vibrant splash of color to a room, especially in the kitchen and/or dining area.
Rooster home decor includes a wide variety of items. There are accent rugs, wall clocks, framed prints, table decorations, key racks, and many more things that have a rooster as part of the overall design. Some designs are rather subdued while other designs are so bold and bright that they are hard not to notice.
This type of decor is most often seen in a home decorated in the country or rustic style. However, it can sometimes be used in homes that are furnished in other decorating styles, depending on what the other decor items are like. And, since rooster designs are quite common on things like kitchen canisters, spoon rests, utensil holders, wall tiles, and wallpaper borders, there's a good chance to see rooster-themed items in the kitchen area, no matter how the rest of the house is decorated.
The popularity of rooster home decor can be partially attributed to the vibrant colors it can add to a home, as well as the idea that the rooster represents the beginning of a new day due to their early morning habits. Also, people like various types of decor that depicts animals, whether it's dogs, cats, horses, wildlife, or farm animals. There are a wide variety of items, such as accent rugs, sofa pillows, table decorations, curios, wall art, and much more that might feature animals.
A popular way to add rooster home decor to any room is with window accents or small figurines that can be placed on a shelf. Such items make it easy to have this fun and colorful element in any room without overwhelming the other types of decor.
There are plenty of items that let you add rooster home decor to the bathroom as well. You will be able to find toothbrush holders, soap dispensers, tissue boxes, and other bathroom accessories that have a rooster design or depiction on them.
Whether you want just a few pieces of rooster decor here and there, or if you want an entire room decorated in this theme, you will be rewarded with a warm and welcoming feeling for your home. Plus, it adds a certain touch of country charm.
