Southwestern Theme Decorating Tips

Just because you don’t live in the Southwest doesn’t mean you can’t decorate your home with a colorful and stylish décor. From the family room to the bedroom, the Southwestern theme can be used in just about any room in the home. If you are considering incorporating a Southwestern theme into your home décor and you need to get your creative juices flowing, here are some ideas to get you star ted.

Colors to Consider The colors of the desert are the best starting point for creating a Southwestern décor. You want to start with colors such as red, orange, tan, and brown. Designate colors such as these as the main focus of the room. Then you can add in green, turquoise, and yellow for a little pizzazz. These accent colors will liven things up a bit, giving the space some flair. If you’d prefer not to use darker colors, then go with a cream or tan as your main color and accent it with orange, brown, or red instead.

Southwestern Furniture Choices Choose furniture that’s made of wood, like a wooden bed or file cabinets, and that gives the room an organic feel for a Southwestern look. A great wood selection, for instance, would be knotty pine. A typical Southwestern furniture style is made from wooden poles that are woven together. Another common Southwestern décor feature is decorative carvings in the wood.

Fabrics to Consider Leather is a popular fabric in Southwestern themes. You can find leather in couches and chairs, as well as in artwork and accessories. You might also add an attractive visual touch with an Indian print blanket or wall hanging, both which provide appeal and vibrancy. You can place these striped and patterned blankets in wooden baskets, or even hang them over the backs of couches or chairs. If you like, you can also opt to use a fringed blanket as an art piece, hanging it on a large wall. One thing’s for sure, these masterpieces provide a great way to bring color and interest to your Southwestern-themed room.

Other Accessories to Add As you begin to fill in the décor with other accessories, look for items commonly found in Native American and Mexican cultures. You might also choose to recall the area’s natural features by mixing in pieces such as wrought-iron cacti and desert flowers. You can really add an authentic touch by placing these plants and flowers in reed baskets and terra-cotta pots. Other accessories to consider include: Native American figurines and artwork, clay pots and plates, hand-painted vases, and wrought-iron candle holders.

Decorating with a Southwestern theme can be a whole lot of fun. This type of style allows you to incorporate many unique items into your design. Plus, you get to pay homage to different cultures. This theme is both rustic and elegant, so it’s important to take the time to be sure everything comes together smoothly. This is a great way to create an atmosphere that’s both casual and will give your guests a lot to talk about.
