Regardless of your interior design skills you can produce a southwestern theme in your foyer with a few changes such as stencilling and matching your wall art and vase with flowers to bring some southwest to the room. Don't be scared to change things like the lighting fixtures, floor coverings, wall color and accessories together with your desk and chair. Lighting is critical in any room and the foyer is no exception. To match your southwestern decor, you need to keep in mind the style of fixtures along with the type. When you will be going for a southwestern design style, you would want to take a look at having metal, wood or antler chandelier with wrought iron sconces and lamps but Always pass up anything that is frilly cystal with prisms. A good number of foyers can work with overhead lighting together with wall sconces. How you dress your windows are important to your southwestern look. To get a great look in your foyer look at having south western print on cotton or wooden blinds. There are various treatments that can be paired with this style, particularly if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, however you probably want to avoid velvet drapes and ruffles. Decorative accessories are a must to pulling your southwestern design together. You can dramatically alter the appearance of your room just by replacing the accessories! Concentrate on shopping for wall art, vase with flowers and knick knacks, in colors and patterns that match your southwestern theme. You'll be surprised at how small changes can make a big difference. Be certain to add in lots of American Indian pottery bowls combined with water jugs in pottery and you should even try certain Mexican decorated plates to display on the walls to really spruce up your foyer. Adding more items such as horse or ranch related memorabilia can make your room appear like it was done by an interior designer. What you put on the floor can really pull the whole look together, but if you can not afford new floors in your foyer then just buy lots of area rugs with a southwestern look. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, try using clay tile floors or Native American woven area rugs. A critical ingredient when decorating your foyer with a southwestern decor is your wall coverings. For this design theme the colors can really enhance the feel - take a look at working with reds, blacks and tans and blues and oranges on your walls or in your accessories. Try using a stucco plaster on the walls, or apply paint with southwestern stencils or wallpaper borders. You don't need to go all out and if you don't want color on the walls, merely paint the walls a neutral paint and let the accents in the room do the decorating. It's not necessary to buy coordinating desk, chair, and hall table but the foyer should maintain lots of western style items. To really showcase the southwestern style, use furnishings with a light stain. One big aspect that we sometimes forget about when decorating your room are your walls. You can make even the plainest walls look fabulous with great wall decor. Try adding horse skulls, framed prints, a collection of branding irons displayed in a grouping to your foyer walls to really show off the country style of your southwestern decor. Adding a fabulous southwestern look in your foyer can entail a lot of work, or simply involve replacing a few accessories. Either way, attention to the fine details and matching your furniture and decorative items will help you pull off a neat new southwestern theme that you will be proud to say you did all by yourself! |
