Southwest Decor

Southwest Decor Accents

Southwest decor has always been the rustic home decorating style of choice in southwestern areas like Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado because of the availability of rustic southwestern collectibles such as rustic wall decor, Native American art, Indian pottery and handwoven rugs.

But, it doesn't matter where you live or whether you like southwestern or western decor, such as cowboy art, ranch and rodeo accessories, or American Indian designs with leather, cowhide and wrought iron, we all love soft bedding, comforters and the warm home lighting created by rawhide lamp shades on antler lamps and chandeliers.

If you have ever dreamed of decorating a mountain cabin, cottage or summer home, you know what I mean about rustic decor. Primitive and country style candles, bedroom furnishings and throw blankets all work together for a great feel. Like walking into a log home or lakeside lodge, cabin decor works in any space to bring the outside in and give that "at home" comfort.

Even with a country kitchen or southwest bathroom, accessories of southwestern decor set a standard of natural elegance. Ceramics, Mexican accents and art work hand in hand with the Kokopelli, iconic wooden kiva ladders and hand woven Zapotec Indian table runners. It is wonderful how "southwest decor" brings all of these elements together and at discount prices.

You will love the southwestern look. So many great decorating accessories can be combined to create the warm and cozy living room and family den or a fun and inviting patio or deck. It is so popular to design, shop and decorate with southwest decor.
