When it comes to interior design, I have always liked
Southwestern style. Not the pink-and-turquoise, kokopelli- and coyote-themed version from the 1980s, but the original earthy, Spanish- and Native American-influenced look, similar to these:
I love those neutral tones with touches of warm color, the simple and rustic natural wood furniture, beautiful rugs, and comfortable leather seating. Recently, however, I have been intrigued by a more modern interpretation of Southwestern style as exempilified by these images:
Our recent trip to Santa Fe has inspired me to create style boards based on my interpretations of both traditional and contemporary Southwestern style, and I will post these during the month of March. I am going to have a lot of fun doing this, and it will help me decide which look I would prefer for our own New Mexico home should we decide to retire there. Of course, I suppose I will have to get my husband's input on his preferences, and I think I know which look he will choose, but I can still pretend that I have a choice!
