Our top picks:
Distressed wood changing tables
Metal cribs with vintage charm
Reclaimed wood shelving
Pro tip: Mix metals! Gold and black accents work beautifully together in western nurseries.

Accent pillow covers (for decor only—not in crib!)
Wall hanging art

Rope baskets for toys
Wooden crates for books
Saddle-style storage ottoman

Make a statement with longhorn or cattle skull wall art! Choose from:
Faux taxidermy longhorn heads

Layer in classic western patterns like buffalo plaid, gingham check, and bandana prints through:
Curtains or valances
Throw blankets
