Southwest & Western Wall Decor: A Rustic, Cozy Feeling
If you love the feeling of being rustic and cowboy-like around your home, then you will probably develop a strong liking for the Southwest or Western styles. This is the style that is prevalent in Arizona and New Mexico, with flairs of green cacti, red cacti flowers, browns, blues, corals and oranges.
This style may remind you of a log cabin in the Northwoods, or your summer lakeside home. With hints of wood and other earth elements, it provides a great ambiance of warmth and comfort.
If you love wall decors and anything that you can hang to your home’s walls to make it more Southwest or Western looking, then here are some examples of Southwest wall decor.
- The famous Kokopelli – Kokopelli is a fertility deity. He is considered to be a trickster and he represents music. He is very famous in Southwestern culture, thus wall decors featuring him are very popular, as well. He is the Anasazi flute player, with feathers or some things sticking out of his head. Kokopelli can be seen in wall decors, paintings, rugs and even on stone.
- Wall Clocks – Wall Clocks with flairs of different native styles and materials will absolutely make you fall in love with time checking.
- Wrought Iron – There are a lot of designs that come in wrought iron, and you can use them both indoors and outdoors.
- Hanging Ristras – These are dried chili's both for storage and decoration, and are very popular in New Mexico. Nowadays, garlic can also be used as ristra decorations.
- Art prints – Native art prints depicting Native Americans, potteries, horses & cowboys, and many other images can be hanged on your walls.
- Wall coverings – Sometimes, even rugs are being hanged on walls to serve as coverings. Colorful quilts and other patterns can brighten up your room.
- Horn & Skulls – probably one of the most famous Southwest wall décor.
- Rustic wall decors – made of metal, wood, clay and stone. They look rustic and earthy – definitely a great addition to your walls.
- Southwestern Lamps - Southwest lamps will add a rustic Western-Southwestern look to any room.
Southwestern style cannot be exactly described by one specific ethnicity. It is a combination of the Wild West, European (particularly Spanish), Mexican and Native American. But of course, these styles all work together to give you that rustic southwest charm. It’s a style that is classic and never gets lost in time.
Its charm works like a tradition, something that all people know. From brick roofs to wooden wall panels to stringed chili's in the kitchen to cactus flowers, it gives off an aura of warmth and welcome, which is probably why this kind of style is very popular among Log Cabins and even in some hotels.
Its earth colors seem to pull you in a warm place, where you just want to relax all day over a mug of beer, or snuggle on a rug in front of the fireplace as you look at your Southwest wall decor. It transports you to another realm where you can absolutely be at peace and be one with the earth.
