Where it comes from
New Mexico and Arizona, where Spanish and Pueblo building met.
Southwestern is rounded plaster forms, exposed timber vigas, saltillo tile and woven textiles in a clay palette. The remodel is largely about softening edges — square corners are what makes an adobe-inspired room read wrong.
Lighting
Warm and low, from mica, iron and ceramic shades. Shadow is part of the effect.
What breaks it
- Cool colour schemes
- Glossy finishes
- Sleek modern furniture
- Cliché cactus novelty decor
Where to spend
Corners and openings. Rounded arrises and shaped niches carry the style; the textiles are the finish.
