Modern Western Aesthetic

Modern Western decor is about finding the right balance between traditional Western elements and sleek, contemporary designs. Avoid overly rustic decor and follow our tips below:

  • Simplicity: Thoughtful arrangements curate wall art with subtle Western elements, avoiding cluttered displays.
  • Warm Tones: Earthy tones, browns, soft creams, and whites are a combination of tones inspired by the American West landscape.
  • Americana Art: Modern American photography and cowboy scenes add a layer of narrative to your modern Western decor. Wall art featuring vast Western landscapes or nature can be a valid alternative.
