Fabric adds instant texture and color that provides comfort and because a design element.

Other Spanish features may include ceiling featuring wooden support beams. Carved corbels, derived from Spanish settlers, support the ceiling beams while adding a decorative element. Colorful Talavera tiles on wainscoting draw the eye to the center of a room. Saltillo tile, introduced to Mexico by Spaniards, is a warm, environment-friendly terra-cotta tile flooring option best suited for warm climates. These elements combined make a space a cozy nook to relax in.

Adding any type of hand-painted pottery into your home adds extra Mexican flair without question.

Details like handmade mirrors and star-shaped lighting, give the room a magical touch. An old chair in a corner can be draped with an Otomi Embroidered tapestry.
