Desert colors, adobe texture and woven pattern.

Southwestern

Southwestern style comes from the American desert: adobe-colored walls, terracotta, turquoise, geometric woven textiles, leather and dark wood, with cacti and clay. It is warm and earthy with a graphic edge. It suits sunny rooms and anyone drawn to the colors of the desert.
