Bright Colors in Furniture Help us Celebrate Mexico

Just think of the colorful array of spices at the San Juan de Dios Market in Guadalajara, or the bugambilias in full bloom in the central square in Puebla. Think of the lovely colorful combinations in Huichol art and the exquisite embroidery in the gorgeous huipiles (Frida made them famous) women wear. Isn’t it inspiring and cheerful? I know that once this airplane lands I will be once again surrounded by snow … for a little while yet. Maybe this is why the colorful images stay with me … I may need them in a few more weeks when I once again become completely parched for bright color.

Why we love bright color in Mexican furniture and decor

 When furnishing your home or condo in Mexico, one of the most fun ways to add pizzazz to your interior design is by choosing one or more pieces of furniture to be painted in bright colors. This is partly why I love our Cottage furniture line. These pieces are happy, fun accents for your Mexican home décor. Another way to bring bright color in and celebrate that you are in fact now living in Mexico is to use colorful Mexican art, pillows or blankets in your interior design. You can still create a relaxing, organic, natural and even sophisticated feel in your Mexican home with the large pieces of furniture. But to give it some local allure and character, accent with bright color. That way you are tilting your hat, so to speak, to all that is joyous and colorful and lovely and inviting in Mexico.
