10 Marvelous Modern Southwestern Decor Ideas

Southwestern decor has a unique flair that keeps it from ever going out of style, but recently it has seen a surge in popularity, especially modern southwestern decor. Mixing the eclectic flavor of the southwest style with the streamlined sensibility of modern design is a match made in heaven.

Elements that make up the southwestern style are rich earth tones, geometric patterns, weathered textures, and natural accents. There are a lot of Mexican, Native American, and Western influences, as well as desert-inspired decor such as cacti. You’ll also see a lot of handmade art from the artisans that are popular in that region, especially pottery.

This look can be very warm, cozy, and rustic, so a modern flair is a nice contrast that will make it more streamlined while infusing the unique and eclectic personality of the southwestern style.

Here are 10 spaces that show how chic and versatile modern southwestern decor can be.
