Southwest Home Accents

So in our new place we have this really odd room… It’s got a nook- for who knows what? A fireplace that sits immediately next to a wall, and limited space for furniture due to the need to keep walkways clear. Oh, and these walkways are between the primary guest bathroom, the laundry room, a sliding door to the backyard, the stairs to the basement and the kitchen.  The moral of the story is it’s a weird room! The answer: Southwest Home Accents.

It took a while for me to figure out how we wanted to utilize this room, but we’re now fondly referencing it as “the party pit”! This is primarily because we made a makeshift bar area out of the questionable “nook”. 

A friend of ours had this great cow hide accent rug in her very modern home, and I immediately knew I wanted to decorate a room similarly. Honestly, I’d secretly been coveting a cow skin rug for quite some time… Mine is authentic – purchased at the local rodeo! (Is this normal? – I was really pumped to find one there at a decent price… In case you’re not anywhere near a rodeo, I linked up a couple cute ones below.)

I linked up all my decor and/or similar products here, or by clicking the photos in the image below.

I had so much fun putting this room together! I think maybe it was because it’s so different than all the other rooms in my house? After all, most of my room is decorated in blues and grays. What do you think?? Do you have any ideas of other items I should include in the southwest inspired decor?
