If you have lived in the desert for any amount of time, you are well familiar with the Southwestern style of interior design and interior furniture. Oftentimes people notice the natural desert landscape being brought to life inside a home. The colors and materials used to create this atmosphere are very unique and well thought out. If you have ever wanted to add more Southwestern Style and interio furniture to your casa, there is much to learn.
What is Southwestern Style and Interior Furniture?
It is no surprise that the Southwestern style is very unique and distinctive. It is extremely popular in the Phoenix and Scottsdale regions and for good reason. It encompasses a large influence of Spanish culture from the early settlers of our area. It has since evolved into a clash of American and Spanish culture.
At it’s root, Southwestern Style and interior furniture focuses on warm, neutral colors that are found in the surrounding landscape. Colors like rust, sand, mahogany, cactus green and terracotta are a few examples. Oftentimes, these colors are accents with bright colors like turquoise, yellow, orange and some reds.
Another great aspect of Southwestern Style and interior furniture is the mix of materials that are used in creating the look. For this style, reclaimed wood pieces can be found mixed with wrought iron knobs or other accents. Oftentimes, the wood is hand carved for extra character. You may also find natural leather, loosely woven wool or cotton fabrics. Additionally, Southwester style may encompass copper, clay and stone materials.
How Does Ceterra Accents and Interiors Approach Southwestern Style and Interior Furniture?
There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to Southwestern Style and interior furniture. The process involves matching materials, colors and the overall environment of the room or home that is being addressed. The showroom at Ceterra Accents and Interiors has a variety of options to bring to life an amazing Southwester Style to your home.
One very special approach to bringing your Southwester Style alive in your home is to focus on natural interior design elements. It might seem easy to find the right colors and materials that scream Southwestern Style, but a lot of the brilliance in these designs comes with using organic materials to bring it all together.
Using Plants in Your Southwestern Style Home
It does not get more organic and natural than using plants to decorate the interior of your home. Now, the problem with using real plants is that not everyone might have a green thumb. The good news is that many Southwestern Style plants can be mimicked beautifully. Look for fake plants like Column Cactus, Pencil Cactus, Air Plants or Agave.
You also do not need to limit this design approach to just plants. Keep an eye out for things like a chunk of perfectly preserve Cypress Wood or dried Seed Pods from Africa. Anything that is organic with a hint of Southwest will be perfect for your design.
Take these three images for example. Each design is a very unique representation of contemporary Southwestern Style. Each grouping pairs together organic components with materials found in the desert. The colors are bold and bright with unique pieces that all have a story to tell. All of these accents and so much more can be found inside the showroom at Ceterra Accents and Interiors.
