This style emphasizes materials found in the desert. Cantera tiles, Saltillo tiles, vigas, and woods are accompanied by bring colors.
Designs are influenced by Spain, Mexico, and native American tribes.
Southwest style homes architecturally can range from heavy influences of Spanish mission, to more ranch style homes. They commonly have rustic woods mixed with hand made tiles. Colors commonly used are reds, browns, and other earthy desert tones.
This style can best be defined by having a rustic backdrop from materials that emphasize the harsh desert environment, contrasted by bold colors used in rugs and fabrics. The style overall is more casual and eclectic. There is an emphasis on imperfection, which can be seen in materials like Saltillo tiles, adobe bricks, vigas, and plaster on walls.
Many homes in the 90s were designed (poorly) in this style. We often remodel these homes to create a more authentic design for a timeless appeal.
