- Greenery: Plants, whether potted or in a vase, can add life and softness to the display, creating a beautiful contrast with the wood.
- Textiles: Drape a throw blanket over a nearby armchair or use decorative pillows with complementary colors and textures. A rug with a subtle pattern can also ground the display.
- Lighting: Strategic lighting can highlight your wooden horse. A well-placed lamp or spotlight can draw attention to its details.
- Books: Stacks of art books or books with similar thematic elements (e.g., equestrian, travel, history) can add visual weight and intellectual charm.
- Art and Photography: Complement your wooden horse with framed artwork or photographs that align with your chosen aesthetic. This could be landscapes, abstract pieces, or other animal motifs.
- Mirrors: A mirror behind the wooden horse can create depth and reflect light, making the space feel larger and brighter.
7. Consider Scale and Proportion: Ensure the size of your wooden horse is proportionate to the surface it's placed on and the surrounding furniture. A small horse might get lost on a large table, while a very large horse could overwhelm a small shelf.
