Decorate A Spanish Home

If you love the appearance of a Spanish decorated home, decorate your home in this theme. This theme can be used to decorate any home anywhere. Spanish themed homes display bright, bold, vivid colors. Bland or subtle colors do not work well in Spanish decorating. You do not need any special skills or tools to decorate your home in a Spanish theme. Allow ample time to complete decorating your entire home. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions


1. Paint the walls in your home with interior paint, a paintbrush and paint roller. Spanish homes typically have bright, bold colored walls --- for example yellow, orange or red. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's directions before continuing onto the next step.


2. Incorporate colors found in nature on the walls, furnishings and accessories. The most typically used colors include reds, yellows, oranges, blues and browns. Adding beige or white accessories or furnishings emphasizes the Spanish color scheme and balances the color palette in the home.


3. Decorate the home with large, wooden furniture. Select wooden furniture in a dark color instead of a light color. This works well when decorating a Spanish home. Modern furniture is not suitable when using this theme, as it does not incorporate natural elements nor does it have an organic feel.


4. Place a variety of wrought iron accessories throughout the home for example, a wrought iron paper towel holder, wrought iron candleholders and a wrought iron framed clock.


5. Decorate the floors and shelving with pottery. Unglazed terracotta pots work well because of their handmade look and colorful appearance.


6. Hang family photographs framed in black frames throughout the home. Black frames complement the wrought iron accessories and family photographs complement the Spanish decorating concept of the home as a comfortable space for family.


7. Hang bright, bold tapestry wall hangings in the home to decorate the walls. Include tapestry wall hangings in the hall, living room and den.


8. Place colorful woven rugs in the home on the wooden floors. Typically, Spanish homes have wooden floors and colorful rugs decorate the floor while complementing the d cor in the home.
