Designing the Perfect Tack Room: SeBo’s Tips for Every Stable

SeBo Tack Room

From simple tack lockers to luxury heated tack rooms, every space can benefit from thoughtful design. With tips from SeBo Interior & Equipage, we explore how to create a tack room that works for your daily routine, feels inviting, and reflects your horsemanship—no matter your level. And if you’re feeling inspired, don’t forget to enter the Tack Room Contest, running until September 18, for a chance to win prizes including a $1,300 SeBo Saddle Rack.

Whether your tack room is a corner in a drafty barn, a small locker at the riding school, or a state-of-the-art heated and air-conditioned space, one truth holds for all: your tack room is the heart of your daily routine with horses. It is where equipment lives, where order makes life easier, and where a little thought can transform chaos into calm.

SeBo Interior & Equipage, known for designing some of the most beautiful luxury tack rooms in the world, has shared their top four tips for creating a tack room that truly works. These ideas apply regardless of your budget, barn setup, or the number of horses you care for.

1. Design around daily routines

A tack room should make your work easier. Think about your path from stable to saddle: where do you pick up tack, where do you clean it, and how do you share the space with others? A good setup mirrors your daily flow. In a grand SeBo tack room, that might mean custom cabinets placed exactly where grooms need them. In a smaller setup, it could be as simple as placing a bucket of clean sponges near your saddle stand or making sure your bridle hooks are close to the door. When the layout supports your habits, life runs smoother.

2. Make efficiency a priority

Efficiency is about more than speed—it is about ease. Every piece of tack should have a home, whether that is a custom-built cabinet, a sturdy plastic bin, or a recycled bookshelf from your neighbor’s garage. The key is consistency. Label shelves, keep cleaning supplies together, and avoid wasting time searching. When things are stored safely and predictably, both people and horses stay calmer, and precious minutes are saved every day.

3. Balance beauty and simplicity

A tack room can be a showpiece, but it doesn’t need to be extravagant to be beautiful. Sometimes the simplest choices make the biggest difference: a row of matching saddle pads folded neatly, a wooden bridle rack hung at the right height, or a clean sink that’s easy to access. SeBo’s designs prove that true elegance is often in the details—but even the humblest tack corner can feel special when kept clean and thoughtfully arranged.

4. Create an atmosphere, not just a room

The tack room is more than storage. It is the place where people gather, talk, and prepare. Warm materials, good lighting, or even a small rug on the floor can turn a purely practical space into somewhere inviting. For larger stables, the finishing touches of craftsmanship can make the tack room part of the stable’s identity. For smaller spaces, even a scented soap by the sink or a favorite photo of your horse on the wall can give character. Atmosphere matters at every level.

SeBo Interior & Equipage

Their work ranges from innovative saddle racks and tack carts to full luxury tack room installations. Each design is tailored to the rider’s or groom’s needs, always with durability, ease of use, and elegance in mind.
