If you aren’t afraid of a little colour or excitement, add inspired Mexican decor to your space
Photo by Andreas von Einsiedel
Mexican decor is laidback, vibrant, and always a party. Say hola to a fiesta of colour and a good dose of natural rattan.
Outside, we love festoon lighting to brighten up a courtyard or garden. Grab a cactus (real or fake, we won’t judge you) and a colourful glass carafe filled to the brim with sangria.
What style is Mexican decor?
Mexico decor is relaxed yet vibrant, characterised by lively reds, oranges, pinks, purples and yellows. These statement colours are harmoniously paired with natural materials like jute, cane, rattan and wicker, and an abundance of greenery.
If you wondering how to imbue this feel-good aesthethic at home, think rustic tiles, handmade ceramics and folk art (discover our favourite Frida Kahlo wall prints here).
Bold patterns and textures are also a key component of Mexican decor. Style your indoor and outdoor spaces with natural rugs and embroidered cushions in warm and fiery tones. For a bit of fun, add a playful Mexican decoration, like colourful Mexican bunting (papel picado) or a celebratory pinata.
