Paint the wall a neutral color. Neutral colors include gray, white, cream, and ivory. Make sure the paint color complements the flooring and other elements in the room that can't be changed easily.

Decide on the focal piece for the room. In a bedroom, this is often the bed. Purchase a horse-theme bedding set or make your own. An easy way to make your own is with a single color comforter and fabric paints. You can paint or stencil a horse design directly onto the fabric.

Use colors from the bedding or another focal point to add accents to the room. Find a wallpaper border that has a similar color scheme in a horse theme, and apply it to the walls. Another option is horse-themed wall stickers.

Choose art for the walls. You can frame horse pictures from books and magazines for low-cost art, or even better, have your child make the art and then frame it. Paint-by-number kits are available in several horse designs and are simple for most kids to do. They look quite pretty once framed.

Add throw pillows and curtains in the room that complement the colors you have chosen. They should continue the horse motif. Add a few stuffed horses to the bed or a corner display, and lean a stick horse against the wall.
