Landing into Santa Fe Style
Santa Fe style, also known as American Southwest, has a unique and very trendy look and feel to it. Think about it. This decorating style combines Native American and Spanish influences with the original American colonial style. So much history enveloped in this one sentence. So much variety in this one style.
Decorating a la Santa Fe can be a challenge. Characterized by bright colors, Native American patterns and designs and rough-hewn furniture, this style can be daunting to attempt at home without the help of a professional.
What you could do is start with a single item like this one:
This crafted solid oak and 100% leather recliner is part of the Santa Fe Collection by Coaster Furniture. It is very softcore Santa Fe though. While it will fit in perfectly with a Southwest themed room, it is rather tame and can fit into many other decor styles too (as demonstrated in this picture). A good idea would be to start with a piece like this recliner, then gradually add more Santa Fe touches around it. Think Navajo rugs and some bright fabrics and decor items, and you’ll be heading in the right direction: Southwest.
