southwestern designs

Southwest interior design is a fusion of Native American and Spanish styles, characterized by warm colors, distressed woods and ornate metal scroll work. Not truly contemporary, but yet not fully traditional, Southwest interior design is a mix of the old, highlighted by color, and a backdrop for handcrafted pottery and decorative tin. The best known element of Southwestern design is the intricate, hand-crafted Mexican tile used for backsplashes, on floors and on tabletops. Mexican tile is infused with bright colors and intricate designs. Southwest kitchen design can also reflect styles from other regions, including Farm and Country styles, Desert/Adobe styles, and Lodge/Mountain motifs.
