Get the Look- Global Style-Mexican

Mexican interiors are full of color, are welcoming, warm and there is often a sense of playfulness and whimsy. A mix of colorful, exotic Spanish and Indian handcrafted items and practical things add old world charm.

The furniture is made from solid wood or leather with designs from the Spanish and Mayan cultures. Most are made from pine, walnut and cherry. Sofas, beds and tables often have a rustic look. Rugs are usually hand woven and brightly colored. Multicolored cushions and geometrical patterns for the curtains are common.

Accessories are colorful and bright and include candles, vases and mirrors, painted wooden animal figurines, wall hangings, clay pottery, woven baskets, traditional masks and paintings.

Colors are bright. Red is common and Yellow is also used heavily in shades ranging from bright lemon yellow to deep earthy golds. Terracotta is common. Blues are commonly used in art and accessories.

Mexican style is a global design style. Global styles are all about your worldly adventures and telling your story! They are usually very colorful, rich in bold designs and natural textures, patterns, colors and arts and crafts of various cultures. Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter.  Treasures are displayed without rules or grouping by the part of the world each piece is from. Antiques mix with modern pieces, and natural objects such as animal horns, plants and rocks add to the charm. While global design styles are eclectic and may mix and match items from a variety of countries, you may be drawn to the colors and cultural artifacts of some countries more than others.

Mexican style is an example of global style Interior Design. Global Style Interior Design is all about telling the story of your life and adventures through your decor. Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter.  Treasures, old and new are displayed from various parts of the world and layered in a rich tapestry of color, texture, art and history.

Below is an example of an Edesign I created for an Mexican style living room using colors of some of the images above as inspiration.

Mexican Style Edesign

For style elements, I used South American rugs and pillows. leather furniture, wood and copper coffee and end tables, and rustic metal lighting.  I chose typical colors of Mexico including reds, terra cotta, gold and blue accents.

I added my Great Conjunction fractal art in reds and gold to highlight the colors of Mexicol

How is Mexican Style Different?

The energy of Mexican interior design is vibrant, colorful, and rich in cultural heritage. It embodies warmth, a sense of community, and a celebration of life. The design often features bold patterns, traditional craftsmanship, and an appreciation for natural elements.

Check out my other articles on Bohemian,  Greek, MoroccanTurkish and Indian styles. Notice the differences in colors, textures, lighting, art etc. between these styles done in the same room.

By changing some of the elements in your existing design, you can work towards creating a certain global style. Or create a mix of elements for a more “Bohemian Style”.

  1. Love the earthy terra cotta base color you’ve chosen to highlight Mexican style.

  2. These posts always make me want to take a trip! I love the bright happy colors in Mexican inspired design – it always makes me think of sun drenched climates which is a great mental escape when it is SO cold here right now, and gives me hope for warmer weather soon!

  3. While I love colour, the Greek style still has to be my favourite. Maybe it’s due to the fact that your rendering has an ocean right outside the window, but I know it’s the colour blue that does it for me!

    We are currently looking at property in Mexico so this is a timely post!
