Ceramic Tiling

Ceramic tiling in a checkered patteren will give your western flooring the uniqueness and flair a western theme room needs.

You can create just about any look with a ceramic tiled western theme floor. Since you want the out west "look" then choose two different shades of brown/earth tones to make up your checkered floor. One shade needs to be a dark brown tone and one a light brown-sandy color tone. For example a western floor with the two tiling choices below would work.

Carpeting / Area Rugs / Carpet Tiles

If you'd like carpet and/or rugs as your Western Flooring then a nice shade of brown is a logical choice. Just remember that with carpeting it's harder to keep clean and frequent parties won't help.

Still if you decide to go with carpet then choose something simple. The question you now need to ask yourself is: Do you want to cover your whole floor? If so then it’s best to choose a carpet that is stain resistant and tightly woven like a berber carpet. You'll also need a carpet that's durable!

Also Carpet Tiling works well in high traffic areas. It's soft and durable and it's easy to lay down and replace. This is important especially if someone spills a drink and stains a few of the tiles.

Lastly, Area Rugs give you a chance to add color to a Western Theme Room Floor. Again various shades of brown will work great in a Western Theme.

Don't buy too many though, because less is always more when it comes to rugs!
