If you study southwestern styled rooms, you will likely find that many of them feature kiva ladders. This unique accent piece relates back to the Indian or Mexican pueblo, and is an important feature of the southwest. While you might not be able to have your own pueblo, you can invoke the feeling of living in one by decorating with a kiva ladder.
This feature is appropriate in practically any room within the home. You might consider propping a kiva ladder against a living room wall decorated with a beautifully woven runner folded neatly across the rungs, or you might even add one next to your bedroom window with greenery attached. Some use one in their master bath on which to hang towels.
Kiva ladders may be found in many different sizes so that you can easily find one that will fit the scale and feel of the room in which you want to feature it. Also, don’t forget the kitchen. A kiva ladder would be a creative addition to your kitchen, hanging securely from the ceiling on which to display your copper pots and pans.
