Nowadays southwest decor and western designs are rising in popularity. South west bedding is a great way to give one’s home a rustic look. It gives the room a touch of the wild old west. It is an inexpensive way of giving a room a makeover. It upgrades the look and feel of the room. It is perfect for those who fantasize about living in a farm or ranch. It is a great style for decorating cabins, cottages, lodges and even bedrooms in a modern house.
Southwest style bedding reflects the heritage of the Southwest region of the continental United States. Bedding in this style comes in a number of different themes. However, the designs are almost identical. Patterns reminiscent of the southwest are often used. Mostly, the bedding depicts cowboy hats, horses, wild animals, plants, ranch settings, or even western scenes. Colors like dull shades of blue and red are popular in southwest style bedding. It may also be accented with standard western browns and tans. More dynamic color combinations incorporate green, coral and yellow.
Native American blankets are very popular with this bedding style. These blankets, used by the Native Americans to wrap themselves, in place of coats or jackets, give the bedroom a western flare that seemed to be a part of designer magazines only. They may be used as a part of southwest style bedspread, blanket or bed throw or as decorative couch or chair covers to enhance southwestern home décor.
Native American style blankets come in a variety of designs and patterns. Bold color combinations that are accented by the choice of motifs woven into the pattern are the popular choice. One may go in for an abstract form of design inspired by Native American motifs such as traditional Navajo designs. Animal motifs such as horses, cattle, buffalo, bear, elk and fish usually found in desert or sunset colors or in green, blue and tan color schemes are also popular.
One may opt for geometric patterns found in some Aztec artifacts such as pottery, blankets and beadwork. Some blankets may have motifs inspired from the plant life found in the wild untamed west. Cacti, yucca plants, sagebrush, squash blossoms, sunflowers and rosettes are prominently used. Other popular symbols include stars, ropes, boots, hats, longhorns and hot chili peppers.
The entire bedroom can be decorated to follow a single theme. Window treatments, lamps, artwork etc can be used to highlight the southwest theme in a bedroom. Log beds go very well with south west style bedding. Manufacturers such as Thomasville and Santa Fe Décor carry southwest style shower curtains and other bathroom supplies, as well as western kitchenware, placemat settings and other related decorations. Southwest bedding can easily be bought online or in stores that sell western and Native American home décor.
Southwest style bedding is for those who can hear the call of the wild untamed west. It is for those who strive for the authenticity and traditional Native American values and are searching for their real selves.
