When you are looking to use this style, you first want to think about what colors you want to be most prominent. Reds, oranges, yellows, and greens are traditional Southwestern colors. You may want to paint the room a deep turquoise and use throw rugs, maybe even some from a nearby Native American reservation, for the floor. Colorful rugs can also be used as wall hangings. Many reservations still make these types of rugs by hand, so you can purchase authentic rugs at a reservation or online. The rugs are generally striped, and you want to use one that has all the major colors in your room on it.

After you choose a wall color and some throw rugs or blankets with your colors, then you can begin looking for furniture to either match those colors, or fit the overall decor theme you’re creating. You may find that this is your biggest challenge. My suggestion would be to find a slipcover that would match your colors so that you do not have to purchase a new couch, and if you ever want to redecorate you will just need a new slipcover. Tan colors work well if you use brightly colored pillows or you could choose a red or yellow slipcover for your sofa and chairs. Dark woods look good in a Southwest style room; you will probably want to distress the wood so that it looks older, adding a more authentic touch to your room. Rustic, cabin-style furniture and accessories tend to go well with the Southwest Style decorating theme too.

Finally, you will want to choose matching accessories. For each of the major colors in the rug, you’ll want to have two to three items of a similar color around the room; otherwise, the color may look random and not mesh with the rest of the room. Additionally, you will want to have wooden pieces and tan pieces to break up the bright colors of the Southwest style. Ivory and turquoise pieces will also make beautiful additions to the room.

Southwest style has a bright, cozy feel. The colors are warm, earth tones so guests tend to feel welcome and you feel comfortable. Rooms in this style tend to be good for playing games or talking; the colors stimulate action and conversation, so be sure to use this in a room where you truly want that atmosphere. Find authentic Native American pieces when you can, and use desert photographs to decorate the walls. Your creativity will help you envision hundreds of ways to decorate your room in the Southwest style, and each will be interesting, invigorating, and beautiful.

Natural Thermostat - Wool has an inherent ability to act as a natural thermostat. It is unique in the way it handles temperature and moisture.

In the Summer It’s Cool - When asleep, the body temperature mechanism begins to shut down. A large volume of moisture can accumulate next to the skin and cause a sticky, clammy feeling, especially in humid climates. Porous and permeable, tiny holes in the outside layer of wool allows moisture to pass through it. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry. Because of this wicking ability, moisture is drawn into the wool fiber (great for those with night sweats or in menopause.) Body heat evaporates the moisture, and then it is released back into the atmosphere. Sheets remain cool and dry providing a crisp, comfortable surface in hot, muggy summer months.

In Winter You Doze Cozy - Wool is a natural insulator. The multi-dimensional fibers repel each other creating countless air pockets that trap body heat keeping one’s body temperature regulated. The air spaces between the wool fibers allow this warm air to circulate next to the body providing warmth on the coldest nights. A consistent body temperature keeps one from tossing and turning resulting in deeper more restful sleep. People look forward to going to bed when they sleep on a wool cover.

All Natural - American wool has a much higher degree of crimp for a given diameter of fiber than its foreign competitors. Therefore, American wool has a superior “springiness.”

Non-Allergenic and Biodegradable - The warm, humid condition that presents around a perspiring sleeper is the perfect breeding ground for microorganisms that can live in bedding.

Natural Deodorizer - Lanolin is a natural deodorizer, which prevents wool from absorbing odors.

Infant Care - Metabolic activity of babies sleeping on wool is decreased, which burns fewer calories, resulting in faster weight gain. Because wool repels dust, it makes a cleaner environment for baby at sleep or at play. An additional cover makes a great play-pad for traveling or when baby is on the floor or in the playpen.

Flame Resistant Safe Sleeping Environment - Wool is the only natural fiber that naturally resists flaming because of its high nitrogen and moisture content. Wool will normally self-extinguish when the flame source is removed. It does not melt or burst into flames.

If you’d love to have a garden room in your home, here are some tips on using strong floral patterns inside.

•Look for florals that will coordinate with colors you may already be using in your home. With dark green carpeting, a floral with pretty green leaves will fit in well. If you have tan carpeting or just prefer a more neutral look, some of the tea-stained floral designs may be perfect.

•Balance strong patterns with liberal amounts of plain surfaces, on walls, floors, sheets, or curtains. Strong florals are beautiful and sometimes a little can go a long way. Using plain backgrounds will also give you flexibility in updating your accessories from time to time.

•An easy way to construct a color scheme is to choose the background color of a floral pattern for the paint color of the room.

•The secondary color will be a pleasing mid-tone that might be used for carpeting, bedskirts, pillows, upholstery, and trims.

•The third color is often a brighter accent color. Use this color in smaller accessories, trims, and accents throughout the room — in pictures, vases, small boxes, welting, pillows, tie-backs, chair seats.

•Repeat fabrics within the room so the patterns are seen throughout the room. For example, if your bed is dressed in a pretty floral, add a floral runner on your dresser, a floral pillow to a plain chair.

•Look for artwork that includes floral themes.

Did you know that there is a difference between comforters and bedspreads? Actually there are several. Bedspreads are usually larger than comforters, even for the same sized mattress because bedspreads cover the entire bed.

Bedspreads come off at night, while comforters are used when you are sleeping. A bedspread’s primary function is to serve as a decoration not as a body-warmer.
