If you want to add character and a warm, casual, inviting feel to your home, consider Spanish style home decor or Tuscan decorating. One thing you’ll need to remember about this home decorating style, is that is it very colorful. If you’re afraid of vibrant colors or like conservative colors, then this style may not be for you. You’ll see a lot of red, orange and yellow tones in spanish homes.
For furnture pieces you will want to pick out wood items in traditional styles. Here you can go for formal or casual pieces. And if you’re a fan of doilies, this style is for you. Traditional spanish homes frequently use doilies to protect furniture tops. Then again if you hate these crochet crafted designs, skip it. No rules are set in stone when decorating your home.
For accent pieces, consider some ceramic or pottery art, displayed on a shelf. Also consider adding black metal elements like sconces or metal art pieces to your walls.
Rustic, red terracotta is a definite recgonized spanish color. Try using this color on you walls with paint or in flooring with red ceramic tiles. Lastly consider a multi-colored rug in your spanish flavored rooms.
I hope these ideas for Spanish style home decor and Tuscan decorating get you started.
