Avoid design cock ups in the Year of the Rooster

by Kate Watt, Marketing Manager 18 January 2017

2017 is the Year of the Rooster according to the Chinese lunar calendar. For those looking to refresh interior décor this year, you might be surprised to learn the many and varied ways a rooster theme can add style and sophistication to your home.

Not convinced? It’s a hard sell we know. But as Houzz reports, you don’t need to stamp your house with rooster prints to align to this year’s zodiac. Rustic barnyard elements and country chic can add a touch of Chinese zodiac while avoiding a design fowl step.

These tips will get you designing a Year of the Rooster room to crow about.

  • The rooster motif is right at home with French country style
  • Deconstruct the rooster into design elements: feathers, yellows and reds or dark greens
  • Go rustic by incorporating weathered barnyard-look timbers with exposed brick
  • Make a bold kitchen statement with a rooster print on your tiles or rooster table ornament
  • Opt for a softer, cosier statement with a clutch of chicken ornaments
  • Use rooster-motif plates or serving trays as decorative dining room ornaments
  • Bring a rooster-topped weather vane indoors as a wall hanging.
