Before you move in the furniture or by knickknacks and wall art, you need to start by choosing the best materials for your floors and walls. Texas style means using the natural materials that are found in this region such as clay tiles, stone and Adobe or plaster.

Southwestern Flavor

Rough plaster walls and terra-cotta or clay tiles introduce the Spanish or Mexican influence into your home. These are often paired with rustic furniture, richly colored and patterned fabrics and native or Spanish style accents. Natural colors are mixed with warm reds, russet browns, golden yellow and turquoise.

Old West and Ranch Style

Texas has a long history of ranching, horses and cattle, especially the iconic Texas Longhorn cattle. This style from yesteryear can feature heavily in a home decor scheme. Exposed wooden beams and wood floors may be more popular in this style home. The furniture is rustic but comfortable and may feature leather cushions and accent or even cow prints. Accents that feature horses, horseshoes, cowboy hats, spurs or boots and cattle would be perfect for this style of Texas home.

Everything from coffee cups to wall art to throw pillows to drawer hardware comes in the Texas Star shape. Red, white and blue are popular colors for home decor accents as well.

No matter what your personal style, introducing Texas decor into your new home will bring you closer to the culture rich communities surrounding you. Cultivate your Texas pride and enjoy all the style options available.
