The southwestern style starts with color, color and more color. This style is fun and lively as if a fiesta will break out at any time.
Heavy wood beams and exposed wooden posts, terracotta floors, colorful mosaic tile and stucco walls and stucco hearths are some of the elements that will be found in the southwestern style.
This style usually includes Navajo, Mexican and Texan influences. You will see images of the Rain God, Sun God, feathers, cactus, yucca plants, horses, clay pottery, cowboys, cowgirls and Native Americans.
