Is Spanish your Interior Style
September 7, 2016
A Spanish-country style dining room can be adorned with Spanish-inspired elements, from the antique Mexican pottery to the colorful paintings. Add more flavor by draping unique fabrics on ¬dining chairs as well as also draped on traditional Mexican wood shelves. 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. The embroidery has specific meanings and reflects cultural identity and history. Weathered chests or trunks, whether reproductions or vintage, placed next to or at the foot of the bed create a rustic Old World look. .
