Mexican-style home d\u00e9cor is a diverse look that combines elements from several cultures around Mexico. It combines styles from Spanish missionaries and conquistadors who colonized this area of America and elements from the native tribes that used to live in what is now Mexico (the Aztecs and Mayans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blending of these styles has resulted in a vibrant, colorful, warm and inviting d\u00e9cor style that anyone would want in their house. One thing that stands out about Mexican style is their furniture which features a rustic wood and wrought iron d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The furniture pieces are made of heavy wood such as pine and mesquite and finished with dark, distressed colors or light wood. Wrought iron pieces (knobs, handles) complement the earthy wooden tones while tanned pigskin or old leather dons chairs and headboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexican-style chairs are the most outstanding pieces in any room, and you can use them in the living room, bedroom and porch. The most recognizable type is the equipale chair made of woven wooden base and tanned pigskin seats. They are rustic, comfortable and truly Mexican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Acapulco chair is also famous and features a light, airy design thanks to the hot weather around Mexico. This chair is lightweight because it used to be hung on the wall, and you can use throw pillows to create some cushioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of Mexican furniture is handmade and decorated individually because of the attention to detail required, but some similar pieces are factory produced. In this case you want to avoid the factory and mass produced items as it is important to stay respectful when taking on a style from another culture. <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, people have referred to Mexican-style furniture as shaker furniture. This is because they are both made of American wood like pine, cherry and maple and feature a minimalist yet sturdy design. You will see tapered legs, straight lines, and wrought iron rounded knobs on both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, shaker furniture acctually emerged from a religious group called the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing or Shakers in the 18th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
