Even if you don't have a lot to spend you can make a southwestern look in your office with a few changes such as painting and coordinating your pencil holders and photo frames to give your room some southwest. Some of the accessories you will want to change include the wall color, the lights, decorative items, and the flooring and your desk and filing cabinet. It's not crucial that you coordinate your desk, filing cabinet, and bookcase but the office should maintain lots of western style items. To really compliment the southwestern style, use pieces with a light stain. A major component when decorating your office with a southwestern style is what you put on the walls. For this look the the colors can make or break the look - think about adding reds, blacks and tans and blues and oranges in the room. 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 shade and and put the color into your flooring and accents. What you put on your windows can make or break your southwestern design theme. For a nice design in your office try using south western print on cotton or wooden blinds. There are lots of window treatments that you can match up to this decor, particularly if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, however you want to avoid velvet drapes and ruffles. Accurate lighting is a must in any room and the office is no exception. To enhance your southwestern design style, you need to consider lighting in terms of both style and type. If you will be going for a southwestern interior design, take a look at metal, wood or antler chandelier with wrought iron sconces and lamps but try to pass up anything that is frilly cystal with prisms. The majority of offices can benefit from a desk lamp together with overhead lighting. What's on your floor can add to the design style, but if new floors aren't in the budget for your office then work with your floors by covering them with area rugs that have a southwestern decor. On the other hand, if you can spring for new floors, go with clay tile floors or Native American woven area rugs. Decorative accessories are critical to pulling your southwestern theme together. You can dramatically alter the appearance of your room simply by replacing the accessories! Focus on obtaining pencil holders, photo frames and vase with flowers, in patterns and colors complimentary to your southwestern design style. You'll be amazed at how small changes can make a big impact. You want to be sure to incorporate a variety of American Indian pottery bowls along with water jugs in pottery and you can even try a few Mexican decorated plates to display on the walls to add some punch to your office. Extra decor such as horse or ranch related memorabilia can make your room look like it was done by a designer. One aspect that we sometimes forget about when decorating your room are your walls. You can make even the plainest walls look great by incorporating beautiful paintings and wall art. Try adding horse skulls, framed prints, a collection of branding irons displayed in a grouping to your office walls to really bring out the country style of your southwestern Interior Design. Getting a great southwestern look in your office can entail a lot of work, or simply involve buying new decorative items. Either way, paying attention to detail and making sure to coordinate your decorative accessories and furniture will help you accomplish a wonderful new southwestern look that you'll have fun showing off to your friends! |
