Add Some Mexican Fun to your Interior Design

February 2, 2018

A home that features one or more rooms with a Mexican design theme can be a fun, warm and inviting space. Whether it's to represent your vacation south of the border or to bring a touch of energy to an otherwise bland house, Mexican interior design normally incorporates many different items and styles as, in general, it’s very eclectic overall. Due to the handmade nature of traditional Mexican folk art, the colors and design may vary slightly – which most find enjoyable as they are uniquely one-of-a-kind.

A fantastic place to begin adding in the "fun factor" into your spaces are with unique Folk Art from our artisans in Mexico. Day of the Dead figurines are an inexpensive way to add fun and flair to shelves, nooks and crannies or on top of your favorite piece of Living Room Furniture.

Starting at under $20, our charming clay Day of the Dead figurines are made by hand in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Each is representative of El Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead. Altars are constructed and filled with offerings for the dead, such as flowers, liquor, candy and food. These skeletons or "calacas" are meant to depict a joyful and active afterlife, and can be used as decoration all year long.

Handmade coconut figures & masks are another way to add some fun at home, for very little investment. Each is both colorful and fun which offer whimsical depictions of indigenous Mexican culture! Each figure begins with a mask made from an emptied coconut shell and other dried plants. Then a cotton body is added and painted in the same high-quality, gloss paint as the head. A hole to hang the figure is on the back.

Browse our online Mexican Marketplace for a wealth of little trinkets, folk art and such to add some unique fun to your rooms – and they also make great gifts!
