Flexsteel Living Room Round Cocktail Table 6629-034 features solid wood, wicker and glass \u2013 all elements that work perfectly inside a Mexican-inspired home.<\/p><\/div>\n

A famous part of many Spanish homes is the so-called comedor <\/em>or dining room. Mexican homes are no different. Their dining spaces are adorned with many Spanish-inspired elements such as colorful paintings, religious relics, and pottery.<\/p>\n

The ceilings of many Spanish dining rooms are also used as canvas for beautiful paintings. Choose from the many possible themes for the ceiling painting. In the absence of a colorful painting, have a luxurious chandelier hung.<\/p>\n

Mexican interior design is a relative of the Spanish design. If you want to have this kind of theme in your home, then you can also use ethnic fabrics and drape them on the colorful dining chairs. These same fabrics can also be used on Mexican shelves as they can add a different level of interest and characteristic to the informal space.<\/p>\n

Borrowed Architectural Elements<\/strong>Mexican homes often come with arches, thick walls and high ceilings. More often than not, hand-painted pottery lies across the table and shelves (talk of the Spanish people\u2019s love for flair).<\/p>\n

Mexican interior design has similar elements with Spanish architecture. Try looking from top to bottom and you would immediately notice the wooden support beams (also known as the vigas<\/em>), the latticework or the latillas<\/em> and the carved corbels which support the beams on the ceiling. These corbels also serve as decorative elements.<\/p>\n

Now look at the floor where you\u2019re standing at \u2013 Spanish flooring is often made with the most colorful Talavera tiles. These will surely draw the eyes towards the center of any room. The Spaniards have also introduced to the Mexicans the unique Saltillo <\/em>tiles which are terracotta tiles that are best used in areas with warm climates.<\/p>\n

\u2018Care to visit the Mexican-inspired bathroom? Then you would probably find a claw foot tub in a nook.<\/p>\n

Mexican Accessories <\/strong><\/p>\n
When you\u2019re out to frame the beautiful features of a Mexican home, be sure to have a lot of vibrant colors on your palette. You can use recessed lighting to provide a more magical touch to intimate rooms in your home. This style can be used in the bedroom or dining areas that are not used for frequent social gatherings.<\/p>\n
Place a weathered chair in a corner then drape it with a huipil <\/em>which is a traditional garment from Mexico. You would certainly love the embroideries on your huipil<\/em>. These have special cultural meanings among Mexicans.<\/p>\n
A bedside table can be covered with the African kente <\/em>cloth then topped with a small yet antique wooden saint. In the absence of the latter, you can also resort to silver objects coming from India as they also offer a distinct, rustic appeal.<\/p>\n
Look through your family\u2019s heirloom furniture. You might already own some weathered chests which you can use at the foot of the beds. If not, www.mccreerys.com<\/a> offers a wide array of these lovely wooden chests. They have a rustic appeal that is hard to equal. Add to their beauty by investing in iron candelabra.<\/p>\n
Add red silk shades for a more elegant look.<\/p>\n
Dress Up the Entry Hall <\/strong><\/p>\n
Know as the zaguan, <\/em>the entry hall can feature hand-painted things on the ceiling. The more antique-looking the door is, the more useful it would be in your Mexican-inspired home. Complete the look with a Mexican tile rug. Add wall sconces for a more culturally-inspired space.<\/p>\n
If you want to go authentic <\/em>on your Spanish design, you could also use a bench right by the entry hall. This is quite common in Spanish haciendas <\/em>where the hired help lie in wait.<\/p>\n
Blend traditional elements with some of the new ones that depict your personality. Be vibrant, be colorful, have flair.<\/p>\n
Dare to be you.<\/p>\n
