Southwestern style, also known as Southwest or Adobe style, originated in the American Southwest, particularly in states like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California. Its roots can be traced back to the cultural influences of Native American tribes, Spanish colonial settlers, and later, Anglo settlers. It has evolved over the centuries to become a distinct design style characterized by its use of adobe construction, earthy colors, and rustic textures.

Here's how to express your style...

In a Southwestern home, interior details feature elements that reflect the region’s climate, landscape, and cultural heritage. Thick earthen walls made from adobe bricks, flat or low sloped roofs with wood beams, central adobe or stone fireplaces, arched or curved doorway and niches, and intricate wood carved cabinetry celebrates the region's rich heritage and craftsmanship.

Interior Finishes

Southwestern finishes create warm inviting spaces that embody the essence of the American Southwest. Rough hewn is most popular for wood beams to show natural texture. Sandstone and flagstone are used on accent walls, while soft finishes like leather, suede, sheepskin, and wool are used for upholstery & area rugs. Colorful hand-painted floor and backsplash tiles reflect the cultural heritage and history.
