Folk Art Kitchen Canisters
Southwest Home Decor – Tips For Decorating In This Comfortable, Colorful Style
Southwest home decor is popular with people from all backgrounds. The bright, vibrant colors attract many folks who love the rich culture that it represents and there are many ways to incorporate this decorating style into your home.
Decorating in a Southwestern style utilizes beautiful, saturated colors. Many people enjoy using these colors on their walls. If you don’t want so much color all over the room, paint most of your walls a neutral color and only one wall a bright color as an accent. You can include the bright colors in pretty throw pillows and knick knacks.
Pottery is a big part of the southwest decorating style. You can get beautiful pottery in all different sizes. You can use this type of pottery as vases for bright sunflowers, or just as pretty things to look at. You can use them in the kitchen as canisters for flour, sugar, and such. Southwest pottery is very versatile.
Southwest home decor is also great in the garden. Pottery is again useful here as terra cotta is very durable and stands up to heat very well. You can decorate these pots with colorful paint for your plants and set them around your porch for some festive decorations. You can buy things indicative of the southwest in the form of stepping stones, and perhaps a lizard or two for fun. These ideas bring your love of the Southwest into your outdoor living space.
Use Indian printed fabrics for chair coverings and bed coverings. An entire couch in this material may be a little overkill, but a strategically placed throw can bring out the theme nicely. If you have existing fairly neutral furniture, make or purchase some southwestern style throw pillows. They will liven up a room and bring in the theme that you like.
There are so many decorations you can use on the walls and shelves. A beautiful landscape of a desert sunset would be a sunning focal point in a room. You could also hang an Indian blanket on the wall as art. On shelves or bookcases you can place a small potted cactus, some earth toned candles, or small figures like lizards or kokopelli.
Wrought iron is another staple of this design style. This makes striking wall sconces and tables top candle holders. If you have a fireplace, wrought iron makes a nice fireplace grate. It is also nice for candle holders, coffee tables, and end tables. You can get this work as simple and rustic or as elegant as you like.
Southwest home decor is very versatile. Due to its popularity this type of home decor is widely available and there are many stores and websites dedicated to southwest home decor, so have fun exploring all of the different options.
