Horses Most Popular Western Wallpaper Theme at Shop4Wallpaper.com
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) March 9, 2007 -- Perhaps it's a leftover obsession from childhood games of "Cowboys and Indians", or wishful fantasies of a pet pony, but horse-theme wallpaper tops the sales charts when it comes to wallcoverings. According to Shop4Wallpaper.com, one of the largest online wallpaper retailers, three of their top-selling Western theme wallpapers last year, featured horses.
"Fans of Western theme home décor have never had more great choices, and we've developed new products - like our Peel and Stick murals - to address the demand," says Pat Walker, president of Shop4Wallpaper.com.
From rodeo scenes to images of historic "Wild West" towns, Western theme wallpaper has been a long time consumer favorite. However, the latest consumer trend is horse wallpaper and borders, according to Shop4Wallpaper.com, with Rodeo theme wallpaper following at a close second.
According to Shop4Wallpaper.com, the top six Western wallpapers are:
? Horse and Stable Door Peel and Stick Mural
? Horse and Log Cabin Window Peel and Stick Mural
? Fireplace Accent Mural
? Historic Rodeo Poster Art on Canvas
? Horses in Pasture Border
? Western Still Life Border
Other top-selling consumer wallpaper styles include kids' themes, such as: music, sports, beach/surf and fantasy landscapes featuring castles and princesses.
A recent report by Forrester Research, "US eCommerce Forecast: 2008 To 2012," indicates consumers buying home furnishings spent $12.3 billion online last year. This number is projected to double over the next five years, making the role of online home décor retailers like Shop4Wallpaper.com even more important in the marketplace when it comes to fulfilling consumer demand.
