How to Decorate Your Home with Roosters

Rooster Theme Ideas Room by Room

Rosallee Scott
Roosters symbolize good fortune in the interior design concept of Feng Shui. Make every room in your home lucky by using this colorful bird in your decorating scheme. Choose a different theme for every space in the house. Here are a few ideas on how to decorate your home with roosters, room by room.

Flocks in the Kitchen
Rooster kitchen decor is readily available in vintage and new designs. Canisters, dish towels and plate sets are just a few of the items that you can find with this colorful pattern. Create your own custom accessories with a little craft paint and some stencils of hens and chicks next to the head of the flock to bring the whole family in.

Barnyard Living Room
For a whimsical feel, add country paintings of big red barns with a chicken coop in front of them. For a contemporary interior design style, decorate with roosters in the living room by displaying just a few favorite statues of them on your fireplace mantle and hang a simple black and white photo of the birds above them.

Love Nest in the Bedroom
The "Rooster of Fidelity", a symbol of marital loyalty in the Chinese culture and used in Feng Shui, is the perfect inspiration for your own personal love nest. Display one prominently in the space. Have a rooster embroidered on your husband's pillow and a hen embroidered on yours. For extra fun super-impose your faces on a photo of an old farmer couple or have a custom painting made for the two of you.

Sunshine Bathroom
Wake every morning to your favorite barnyard creatures with a rooster theme in the bathroom. Paint a mural on the wall of a sunrise and a rooster crowing in front of it. Attach fencing to the wall for the little guy to sit on for extra texture in the space.

All of these ideas for how to decorate your home with roosters room by room can be tailored to your individual tastes and interior design style. Bring all of the spaces together with the bright colors found in the decor, such as reds, oranges and yellows to keep the theme flowing throughout the house.
