[Laura Loves] Equestrian Themed Bedrooms

It's been a short while since I did my last interiors post (read it here) and so I thought it was about time that I did the second post in the 'series'. This time, I'm focusing on bedrooms which is one of my favourite places! Below are a few of my favourites from Pinterest...



This one is probably my favourite. I love the simplicity of the whole room but the canvas is just amazing! I love photos where the subject is to the side rather than central, and although the background is grey and the horse is grey it works really well! It goes well with the whole room as well and makes it easier to coordinate the room. You could also use any colour you like for the accessories such as cushions and bed spread - I think I would definitely go for a bolder colour such as orange! 


I don't actually like the darkness of this room nor do I really like the lights shining on the photos but it is the photos which I love! In fact, I'm actually working with a friend to hopefully do a photoshoot with Pea and maybe recreate some images similar to those above as I think they would look great above the bed. I like that they are close-up images which makes them a bit different and I think they would actually work great with the first image above! 


This is probably more for a teenager as it does actually feature quite a lot of horse themes with the canvas, wallpaper and light but I secretly love it! I probably wouldn't go for the wallpaper but the neutral themes work really well and it's nice to have the canvas elsewhere in the room as opposed to being behind the bed. 


How amazing is this wall?! Probably slightly over the top for many people and I'm not sure that I would personally go for it, but I think maybe for a child's room it would be amazing! Especially if it was recreated from a picture of them jumping their pony! I love how it looks like they are genuinely jumping over the bed frame! You would definitely want to then tone the rest of the room down with more neutral colours but I just had to share this!

[Top Find] Wild Horse Canvas


I recently popped into 'The Range' and whilst browsing, came across this Hand Sketched Wild Horse Canvas. I fell in love with this canvas, and at only £24.99, it's an absolute bargain! Unfortunately I have no where to hang it, however when I get my own place I think it would look great hanging in the lounge over the sofa...I just have to hope they stock it for a long time as who knows when I'll be able to afford my own place!

[Laura Loves] Equestrian Themed Living Rooms

I love interior design! I can spend hours on pinterest, on home design websites and reading related magazines (Style at Home, Your Home and Home) are my favourites. In fact, I often debate whether I want my own Event & Wedding business or my own Interior Design business (both equestrian/country themed) in the future. 

Below are a couple of equestrian themed lounge/living room ideas that I like. I cannot wait until I get my own place to decorate how I want and these give a great basis. I really like that they are quite minimalistic (in a way) but still inject that bit of personality.

I really like how minimalistic this idea is. The canvas stands out against the brown/copper wall and goes well with the black leather sofa and white foot stool. It all works really well together and whilst a brown wall might sound kind of hideous, it's actually really nice! I think it's in part to do with the monochrome feel of the rest of it! I think this is one which will work in a smaller space as it's clean and simple, making the space seem bigger than what it may actually be.

This one is slightly more opposite than the one above! This one has a rather 'grand' feel to it and I can imagine it in a rather large stately house/mansion type of place! However, I like how it all ties in together with the grey background on the canvas matching the grey seats as well as the grey horse matching the white details on the chairs. The chandelier also adds to the feel of the room and it looks like a nice airy space with the canvas making a statement without being too over the top.

This one is my absolute favourite!! I think it's the cosy feel it has about it with the white cushions and throws as well as the glass table making it all work together nicely. The two smaller canvas' work well with the large horse canvas and I love the colour scheme. I really want a grey colour scheme when I get my own place as well as a corner sofa so this would definitely be something that I would base my ideas on. The horse canvas is gorgeous, I love the look of the texture of it (cannot think how to describe it so apologies if that makes no sense) and the colours work well with the rest of the room. 

Keep an eye our for more equestrian themed interiors (there are a lot of bedroom ideas!) as well as some posts on little decorative pieces.
