Rooster Signs & Decor

Roosters bring a flash of color to home decor.


Roosters are popular motifs and accessories in a number of different decorating styles. These brightly-colored birds can also form the basis for a decorative style that includes a lot of whimsical color and accent choices.


Style


Many decorative country styles, including French and Italian, make use of the rooster as a motif. Country styles tend to feature colors and accessories inspired by the environment surrounding them, including roosters.


Types


Many types of decorative rooster signs exist. In country styles, it's very common to see primitive pictures of roosters painted on wood. Other rooster-inspired decor includes ceramic rooster cookie jars, rooster clocks, rooster-shaped trivets and lazy Susans, and wallpaper featuring roosters. Additionally, while many people opt to place rooster deocrations in the kitchen, they make a cozy decorating theme in any room in the home.


Pulling It Together


To coordinate a rooster motif throughout your decor, use the colors of the rooster. For example, take colors commonly used in ceramic roosters, including red, black and yellow, and feature them in your wallpaper, furniture upholstery and decorative accessories.
