Our American heritage is filled with the romance of the West, the conquest of the wilderness and the independent spirit that marks us as a nation. There's no better way to bring that spirit into your home than with Lakota Cove's exceptional Mountain Wild furnishings and home décor. This style of decor has grown in popularity in recent years and can be used in any area of the country. It offers down-home appeal and comfort and is welcoming to anyone who enters a home. You don't have to own a log cabin to decorate in American Heritage décor. It's truly for anyone who loves the American spirit.

The Charm of Colors

Part of the charm of Mountain Wild is the color palettes used. These rich jewel-toned colors are inspired from nature itself. Using these colors adds an abundance of charm and a feeling of warmth to your home. Deep greens, golds, reds and russets provide the perfect palette. You can use these colors on—rugs, pillows, throws as well as in pictures, wildlife statuary and floral arrangements. If you want to add the western flair, add some horseshoes here and there. You'll have a proper homestead in no time.

Soften Your Rooms

Hardwood floors are exceptionally beautiful when decorating your home with the eclectic look, but if you don't have them, Lakota Cove suggests rich colored throw rugs. From her wide selection owner Linda Magness chooses rugs for her clients that compliment the vision for their home. The appeal of a rug is in its ability to make a room cozy and inviting. It softens a room and can bring multiple colors together or add a new one. For example, a traditional striped pattern rug can be very striking when used with western décor.

Accessorize with Flair

Combining rich colors with accessories that speak about you and your family are the perfect way to make your house a real home. Wood accents painted with deep colors can be eye-catching and add interest to a room. Native American pictures, mountain and desert landscapes, or cowboys and horses add a great amount of interest to western heritage styled homes.

At Lakota Cove, we found wooden planters, wine racks, and dozens of other wood items to add to western decor. There are endless selections of heritage type accessories, lamps, wooden-framed mirrors and furnishings. Linda suggests using a small Native American statue or a figurine featuring some wild horses to add even more to the Mountain Wild theme and appeal of your home.

Find Someone You Trust

Decorating isn't easy for many people, so it's important when you shop to find a designer you know who is experienced. You couldn't ask for more experience than the Lakota Cove designers. Whether elegant or wild west themed, they can conjure up all kinds of decorating ideas for giving your home the appeal it deserves. They are already expanding with an American Artist Gallery scheduled to begin construction this year. Their new barn area will have an additional 5000 square feet. In addition to their expansion, Lakota Cove is going nationwide with a new website that's scheduled to be live by Thanksgiving. The website is a design creation of some of the top artists from all over the country who will have their own portfolio of their exclusive American made designs. This will be more than a website gallery, it's a vision of Lakota Cove's extensive travels out West and collectables showcasing distinctive artistry and craftsmanship.

Of course, Linda can do in-home consultations, but she also tries to help customers in the store. "Our purpose is to guide our clients through the decorating process by presenting complete rooms, design ideas, videos, and our showcased homes," says Linda. "When designing their home, our visual presentations make it easy for customers to select the perfect furnishings and décor." Another bonus to shopping in the store is the complimentary warm cookies, apple cider and coffee always offered to guests.

Escape to the Cove

Lakota Cove has the ability to embody the American spirit not only through its furnishings, but also through its owner's continual search for new challenges and adventures. Whether it's a store expansion, a new artist, a rustic line of furniture or a new customer to help, Linda Magness and Lakota Cove is ready for the next adventure. Go to the Cove and let your imagination run wild. This fall is the perfect time to browse the gallery and check out the exceptional pricing that is making the way for their new addition.
