Creating Your Decor Around One Object
Sometimes the most precious decor ideas start with one simple piece.
You may find that piece at a store, online, at a friend's home, family, thrift shop, flea markets, and more.
Once you find that one object, you can envision the complete room done in that design.
For example, if you find a small terra cotta pot with Indian design, you may want to decorate your entire room with Native American decor or even southwestern.
Since you only have one piece to go into the room, how do you create the right decor around it? Decide where you can place the object.
Will it sit on a shelf, on the floor, in the window, or hang suspended from the ceiling? If you have this small round terra cotta pot, you can place it on the coffee table, on the end table, on the entertainment center, or shelf; anywhere you can sit that pot at and someone will see it.
Walls If you are going with a southwestern decor you can place a southwestern blanket on the wall or you can use modern area rugs with a southwestern decor or colors.
You can find these rugs online and there are so many different designs to choose from.
These area rugs can be placed on the wall where they can display true beauty.
You want to keep the walls simple by painting them beige or cream color and then accessorizing them with turquoise, beige, brown, sand, sky blue, or forest green.
Colors should be kept earth toned so there is no confusion in the overall look and feel.
Floors If you are hanging up a rug on the wall, then keep the rugs on the floor a solid color.
You can choose yellow rugs to place on the floor because yellow resembles the color of the sunshine.
The floors should be hardwood or you can place a large rectangular southwestern rug in the middle of the floor.
If you are decorating the room for a man, you don't want to go overboard with the rugs and the color.
You will need to choose a simple look in your decor.
If you are decorating this room for a family, a combination of earth tones for the floor will be fine.
Furniture Brown leather is perfect for the furniture but this is not always possible.
You can purchase a sofa with southwestern colors or if you are worried about placing too much color in the room, use a neutral tone for the sofa, for example, beige.
Cream is good but it can get dirty very fast.
Complete the look of the sofa by placing a southwestern blanket over the back of it.
If you have a fireplace, you can complete the look by placing deer horns, turkey calls, or even a rope on top.
You can add anything that resembles southwestern, farms or ranches, or open spaces.
The fire was important back then and if you have a fireplace, you want to draw your attention to it now.
