Using Zapotec table runners, rugs and placemats in a unique way will enhance your home in more ways than one. Try a few creative ideas to improve your southwest decor. I have heard of several ways to accent a home using table runners, rugs and even place mats. You would be surprise how a runner or rug can be used for more than its original purpose.
One creative touch is throwing a beautifully woven runner on a door. Let it hang to add vibrant & bold colors to any room. You may also wrap it around any wooden or rustic picture frame without a glass front to create a textured border with intense colors. If there is no backing, you can use an Indian style rug with similar colors to attach various items and accents for a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. A few accessories that you could use is wheat, dried lavender or leaves. You may even like to mix snapped photos of your family & friends.
A Zapotec Indian style placemat can be used for a formal dinner table or for your furry family member. Why should you settle for a raggy towel or your floor to hold the doggy or kitty dish? Let their place mats be decorative just as everyone elses. Using a few of these creative ideas will truly improve your southwest decor.
