If you love the feeling of being rustic and cowboy-like around your home, then you will probably develop a strong liking for the Southwest or Western styles. This is the style that is prevalent in Arizona and New Mexico, with flairs of green cacti, red cacti flowers, browns, blues, corals and oranges.
This style may remind you of a log cabin in the Northwoods, or your summer lakeside home. With hints of wood and other earth elements, it provides a great ambiance of warmth and comfort.
If you love wall decors and anything that you can hang to your home’s walls to make it more Southwest or Western looking, then here are some examples of Southwest wall decor.
The famous Kokopelli – Kokopelli is a fertility deity. He is considered to be a trickster and he represents music. He is very famous in Southwestern culture, thus wall decors featuring him are very popular, as well. He is the Anasazi flute player, with feathers or some things sticking out of his head. Kokopelli can be seen in wall decors, paintings, rugs and even on stone. Wall Clocks – Wall Clocks with flairs of different native styles and materials will absolutely make you fall in love with time checking. Wrought Iron – There are a lot of designs that come in wrought iron, and you can use them both indoors and outdoors. Hanging Ristras – These are dried chili’s both for storage and decoration, and are very popular in New Mexico. Nowadays, garlic can also be used as ristra decorations. Art prints – Native art prints depicting Native Americans, potteries, horses & cowboys, and many other images can be hanged on your walls. Wall coverings – Sometimes, even rugs are being hanged on walls to serve as coverings. Colorful quilts and other patterns can brighten up your room. Horn & Skulls – probably one of the most famous Southwest wall décor. Rustic wall decors – made of metal, wood, clay and stone. They look rustic and earthy – definitely a great addition to your walls. Southwestern Lamps – Southwest lamps will add a rustic Western-Southwestern look to any room.
Southwestern style cannot be exactly described by one specific ethnicity. It is a combination of the Wild West, European (particularly Spanish), Mexican and Native American. But of course, these styles all work together to give you that rustic southwest charm. It’s a style that is classic and never gets lost in time.
Its charm works like a tradition, something that all people know. From brick roofs to wooden wall panels to stringed chili’s in the kitchen to cactus flowers, it gives off an aura of warmth and welcome, which is probably why this kind of style is very popular among log cabins and even in some hotels.
Its earth colors seem to pull you in a warm place, where you just want to relax all day over a mug of beer, or snuggle on a rug in front of the fireplace as you look at your Southwest wall decor. It transports you to another realm where you can absolutely be at peace and be one with the earth.

Indian pottery, like that made by Tarahumara and Tigua Indians, is hand made using rough white, orange and brown clay found in the earth. The earthen clay is not only very durable but is also what gives the pottery that popular rustic look.
The knowledge of pottery making has been passed down throughout the generations and is still made the same way as it has been for hundreds of years. If you are like me and love Native American pottery, you will definitely like holding a piece of this unique art in your hands, imagining the work that goes into creating such unique pottery.
If you are thinking about collecting Indian pottery, you will find many types and might even discover some that you never knew about. From rustic style pieces of Tarahumara pottery with dark earth tone colors to intricately detailed art pieces, painted by the Tigua Indians, you will definitely not have trouble finding something you like.
The various types of pottery are thrilling for collectors because there is so much to choose from. The most exciting part of owning real Native Indian pottery is the fact that it has always played a part in Native American lifestyle. In recent years, collecting pottery has become fashionable again because of the popularity of traditional Mata Ortiz pottery found in the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, in the northern part of Mexico.
A lot of Indian pottery can be used both to cook with or to add as part of a collection. Many of the Tarahumara pots or ollas as they are called, are used to cook beans, boil corn with lime for making tortillas, roasting corn to make pinole, or for making the traditional corn beer known as tesquino.
The ollas are utilitarian in design and come in various sizes and shapes that define how that particular pot will be used. It doesn’t matter which kind of pottery you buy, whether for cooking or decorative purposes, you will no doubt appreciate all the work that goes into crafting Indian pottery.
You will find the art of pottery making to be very fascinating. Hand-crafted by the potter, the traditional coil and pinch method is used instead of the pottery wheel. Finding and grinding the clay to a fine powder is the first step in pottery making. Water is then added to the clay powder and brought to the desired consistency.
A piece is cut for the base of the pot and then clay coils are used to build up the sides. The instruments the Tarahumaras use for cleaning and smoothing the pot are nothing more than pieces of gourd, stone or wood. They then heat the pot in a shallow hole after it has had time to dry in the open air. It is then painted using various items like a feather, the fingers or a cloth-wrapped stick and a variety of paints like red ochre, iron oxide or hematite.
Owning Native pottery, whether a roughly made Tarahumara olla, a beautifully painted piece by the Tigua Indian Tribe, or elegant artwork like Mata Ortiz, is definitely a great way to bring Native American authenticity to your home. You can buy southwest style Indian pottery online, and in pottery shops and many stores that sell southwestern decor and accessories.
If you want to be part of the exciting rebirth of Indian pottery collecting and bring Native American style to your home, try decorating with original pieces of handmade Indian pottery.

There really is no style of home decorating that can be identified as decidedly Native American. There are however touches that can be added to almost any style of décor. The trick is always a matter of incorporating these things without making them seem out of place. Of all the design styles that exist, and of course depending on the tribe in question, the southwestern style of home decorating and design would actually make a good match for many Native American artifacts, touches, and artwork.
Pottery is central to a Native American theme. Different tribes had different styles of creating pottery. If you have a favorite tribe or a favorite style of pottery you may want to build the remainder of the room or design area around the pottery you love as it is quite personal to many people and not all styles of pottery will match all other styles of weaving, carving, basket making, or artwork. Pottery is very useful in a kitchen if you plan to use some of it in this room. Not only can most pottery be baked when cooking but it also works wonders for storing things like utensils that you would like to have in reach, strays, napkins, and any other things you can think to store within the pottery you have available. If you are going to pay for it you may as well put it to good use.
Speaking of artwork. There are some beautiful Native American prints as well as some ‘sand art’ that is a must have for a room that is trying to capture the spirit of the Native American or at least a specific tribe and incorporate that spirit into their homes. I think this is a beautiful idea for those who wish to pay their respects to those who are ancestors to many of us. Not that the pottery mentioned above isn’t art work in and of itself but the addition of art that can be placed on the wall is a welcome addition in many homes.
Keep in mind also that many Native Americans played the flute. Some people display a collection of Native American flutes next to their prized pieces of art. There really is no wrong way to go about home decorating when it is your own home that is being decorated. Select the things you like, omit the things you do not like. You do not even have to be loyal to one tripe, design, style, or region when decorating your home. Some people have happy little collections that are filled with all kinds of odds and ends pieces from a wide variety of artistic styles along the way.
For those who are hoping to stick with a somewhat Native American theme baskets are once again a good selection to add to the collection. Baskets are not only lovely but also incredibly useful for holding blankets, throws, rugs, pillows, knitting supplies, magazines, and anything else you do not wish to have cluttering the living spaces of your home. They are even quite good about hiding remote controls for the electronic equipment when you place them cleverly throughout the room.
The best suggestion for those who wish to honor their Native American neighbors and ancestors by incorporating the artwork and designs into their home decorating plans is not to spend too much time planning. The Native Americans appreciated nature and allowing many things to happen naturally. Use this opportunity to learn this very important lesson while incorporating other great things you appreciate about them into your home.
