Southwestern Style Characteristics
 There are distinct characteristics in the southwestern style that can easily
be explained by imagining a desert scene. Picture all colors of the
desert, the green of cactus, the red mountains of the Grand Canyon, and the
Native American heritage that comes from the Arizona, New Mexico regions of the
United States.
There are two types of southwestern style. The all natural organic
version, with over scaled furniture made from log pole, and the use
of rugged materials such as iron, stones and wood. Then the city
version of southwestern with plastic cactus decorations and wall hangings,
coyote figurines and the use of peach and teal coloring.
General Colors and Characteristics are as follows:
- Native American Indian accents
- Organic materials, iron, adobe, wood and smooth rocks
- Brightly-colored patterned fabrics inter mixed with natural colors
- Oversized furniture, log pole ladders and adobe fireplaces
- Colors that are seen in the desert sunset, hills and prairies
