What types of accessories should you choose when decorating a southwestern or Mexican style room? There are many different options that you may pick from. Some of the more common types of accessories that you will find in a southwestern or Mexican room include hand woven baskets, terra cotta bowls and urns, gourds, earthenware pots, punched tin frames and boxes, collections of cacti and lamps with rawhide shades. You may also commonly see religious or spiritual statues and crosses as well as Native American dream catchers.
In many cases, the accent pieces you choose will depend upon whether you are focusing more upon a room that is decorated in a Mexican or Native American theme. If your room does not follow a strict theme, then by all means, consider combining the two and enjoying the best of both worlds. Pieces from both cultures will then play an important role in the room’s personality such as woven blankets and rugs.
