No matter how much money you have, you can end up with a southwestern look in your parlor by changing little things, for example getting new rugs and matching your photos and artwork to provide some southwest to your room. When changing your decorating style you need to think about changing rugs, lights, decorative accessories and wall paint and your sofa and coffee table. What's on your floor can compliment the decorating theme, but if you can not buy new flooring in your parlor then you can mask your existing floors with small 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. Lighting is essential in any room and the parlor is no exception. To compliment your southwestern design style, you might want to consider the style of fixtures as well as the type. The majority of parlors can work with a table lamp as well as decorative sconces. Given that you are incorporating a southwestern style, think about metal, wood or antler chandelier with wrought iron sconces and lamps but Always shy away from anything that is frilly cystal with prisms. One task to mull over when decorating your parlor with a southwestern look is your wall coverings. For this design theme the room colors make a big difference - think about utilizing reds, blacks and tans and blues and oranges either as wallpaper or paint. Try using a stucco plaster on the walls, or you might try paint with southwestern stencils or wallpaper borders. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of too much color, merely paint the walls a neutral paint and let the accents in the room do the decorating. Window treatments can affect your southwestern look. There are different window coverings that can enhance this style, especially if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, but you probably want to avoid velvet drapes and ruffles. For a great look in your parlor think about having south western print on cotton or wooden blinds. Accessories are critical to pulling your southwestern design together. Even if you can't change anything else in the room - you can get a new look with different decorative items! Concentrate on selecting photos, artwork and mantle clocks, in colors and patterns that match your southwestern decor. You'll be amazed at how simple changes can make a big impact. You want to be sure to include a variety of American Indian pottery bowls as well as water jugs in pottery and you could even try some Mexican decorated plates to display on the walls to get a professional look for your parlor. Extra touches such as horse or ranch related memorabilia can get you a room that looks like it came from a magazine. You dont have to buy coordinating sofa, coffee table, and desk but the parlor should have a variety of western style furnishings. To really compliment the southwestern design theme, go for pieces with a light stain. One vital decorating area that we sometimes forget when decorating is the wall space. Even the ugliest walls can be made to look good by incorporating great wall art and decorative accessories. Try applying horse skulls, framed prints, a collection of branding irons displayed in a grouping to your parlor walls to highlight the country style of your southwestern Style. Putting together a rewarding southwestern look in your parlor can entail a lot of work, or simply involve replacing accessories. Either way, paying attention to detail and making sure to coordinate your furniture and decorative items will help you achieve a great new southwestern theme that you'll have fun showing off to your friends! |
