Decorate your Home or Office with Unique Horse Decor
Horse decor items can provide an easy way to create visual interest in the western style home or office.
Horses are natural subjects for sculpture being made of elegant lines, forceful muscles and visible strength and grace. For over 6000 years humans have been carving the likenesses of horses into bone, soapstone and wood.
The fascination with the proud animal can be said to be older than any human/animal relationships barring dogs.
Something about the horse turns our heads, captures our interest and inspires us. This is why horse figurines and statues make such good décor.

Like all pieces of sculpture or table art, horse statues should be used to create a focal point – to draw the eye.
For this reason, they work particularly well in the extremes. Place them in high places or on low tables. You can place one in a lighted recess on a bookshelf, or center it on a coffee table.
But, take first things first – you must first find a statue that you respond to, that speaks to you on a basic level, and then you must find exactly the right place in your home or office to show it off.
Horse figurines work well as bookends, on the mantel piece or on a credenza. Find a place for your figurine where the light is good, and the horse feels like it has ‘space to run’.
Like white-space in a publication – the space around the statue will influence how we look at it. If you hem it in on all sides with plants, other artwork, books or papers you will lose the full effect of the artwork.
If the statue is in a dark corner where no illumination strikes it, then no matter how good it looks in the daytime, come night it will disappear.
The human relationship with the horse runs deep. Test this in yourself by shopping for horse statues online. Notice how you respond to the images. Take note of the way the light plays across a statue’s curves and complexities.
Even someone who feels no pull towards the equine at all will be entranced by the poetry of muscle and bone that makes up a horse.
Humans have been carving representations of horses for over 6000 years for a reason – no other animal speaks to us in the same way.
