To understand what is Southwestern Decor all about, we must
first understand where is the southwest? Southwestern in decor
context basically refers to the Southwestern states of USA (Colorado, Nevada,
Texas, Utah etc). As you may know, these states are basically filled with
deserts and this "desert vibe" with a modern twist is what
Southwestern decor is all about. Think Kilim rugs, taxidermy animal heads and
loads of cacti...
Quick tips to this look
Colours: White, black & brown as the base
colour with colourful accent pieces in rugs & cushions usually in shades of
pinks, purples, red and turquoise.
Patterns: Kilim or aztec patterns is a
must. Use this as your accent piece for the room. An easy way to incorporate
this pattern is via a rug or a wall art (TIP: or you could hang the rug as wall
art).
Decor elements: Kilim rugs (yes, I do realise I
am repeating this, but it's basically THE item that makes the most difference),
bull skulls / head as wall art (don't worry, there are plenty of chic fake ones
available), cacti (the more the better, plus they help detoxify the air in your
home), faux fur rugs, dreamcatchers and teepees which works really well in the
nursery (and your kid will thank you for it).
Have fun decorating!
