Southwestern Wall Decor

Southwestern Wall Decor

Southwestern wall decor in this collection means pictures of the American Southwest itself: Monument Valley buttes, Sedona red rocks, Antelope Canyon, and the pueblo, mountain and river views of New Mexico. Choose by the place you want to look at, then match it to the room using the ideas below.

Southwestern Wall Decor Starts With A Real Place

A southwestern room is easiest to build around one named landscape rather than a pile of small desert symbols. Here the choice is by location: Arizona Canyon Sunset for canyon country, Sedona Red Rocks Sunrise for red rock, Taos Pueblo North House for New Mexico.

Monument Valley Wall Art For A Long Living Room Wall

Many titles here are set in Monument Valley, so it makes a clear starting point for a southwestern room. Monument Valley Buttes Wall Art and Monument Valley Buttes, Utah Wall Art name the buttes, while Highway 163 Into Monument Valley Wall Art names the road into the valley. Mitten Buttes at Monument Valley Wall Art comes in a panoramic shape, a natural choice for a wall that runs wider than it is tall.

Sunset And Snow Versions Of Monument Valley

Several pieces return to the same place at a different hour or season. Monument Valley Sunset Vista Wall Art and Monument Valley Golden Horizon Wall Art are named for the light, and Snow-dusted Monument Valley Sunset Wall Art adds snow to the title. For a winter room, the snow-dusted one carries the season.

Sedona Red Rocks For A Bedroom Or Reading Corner

Sedona pieces go well in a smaller spot, such as the wall behind a bed or above a reading chair. Bell Rock Sunset, Sedona Wall Art and Cathedral Rock Sunset, Sedona Wall Art each name a single formation, and Sedona Red Rocks Sunrise Wall Art covers the morning side of the same country. Each of the three works on its own over a bed or reading chair.

Antelope Canyon And Canyon Rim Scenes For A Hallway

Canyon pictures give a narrow hallway or stair wall a southwestern feel without crowding it. Antelope Canyon Wall Art and Antelope Canyon Crevice Light Wall Art name the canyon, Sunlit Canyon Rim at Dusk Wall Art names a canyon rim, and Lake Powell Sunset Wall Art covers a lake in the same region. Hang one at the far end of a hallway.

New Mexico Pieces From Taos Pueblo To Santa Fe

New Mexico adds villages, mountains and a map to the mix. Taos Pueblo North House Wall Art and Santa Fe Museum Sunset Wall Art name two places, Rio Grande at Sandia Mountains Wall Art pairs a river with mountains, and Wings Formation, Bisti Hoodoos Wall Art names a rock formation. New Mexico Typographic Map 1912 Wall Art is a map for a study or entry. For more from the state, browse the New Mexico wall art collection.

Modern Southwestern Decor With Plain Walls

Modern southwestern home decor leans on restraint: white or pale walls and one graphic piece. Monument Valley Travel Illustration Wall Art is an illustration and New Mexico Retro Travel Wall Art is a retro travel piece; both come as square pieces and sit well on a plain wall.

Rustic Southwest Decor With Wood And Woven Textures

For a rustic southwest look, put the art above wood or woven pieces and let the landscape name the place. A Mojave Desert Route 66 picture hung over a plank bench, or Highway 163 over a wooden console, ties the road scenes to the furniture beneath them. One large scene over solid furniture keeps the wall simple.

Choosing A Size For Southwestern Wall Art

Aim for about two thirds to three quarters of the width of the furniture below the piece. A 54 inch entry table takes a 36 x 24 inch landscape piece, which covers roughly 67 percent of its width. A 70 inch media console takes a 48 x 16 inch panoramic piece, about 69 percent. Center the piece 57 to 60 inches from the floor, with 6 to 8 inches of clearance above furniture.

How Each Piece Is Made

Every piece is made after you order it. Canvas prints use museum-quality canvas and archival inks, stretched over a solid wooden inner frame. Canvas and framed pieces arrive ready to hang; a poster does not. Shipping is free, delivery takes 8 to 10 business days from the day you order, and returns run 30 days from delivery.

Common Questions

What is southwestern design style?

Southwestern design is a home style drawn from the desert and canyon country of the American Southwest. In a room it shows up as earthy furniture, woven textiles, pottery and wood, with landscape art as the anchor. The style takes its materials and colors from that country, such as clay, sandstone and wool.

Is southwestern decor still in style?

It can be, when you keep it to a few choices instead of a full theme. One landscape over a sofa, a wool throw and a clay vase are enough to give the idea. Skip fringe and crowded shelves, and keep the wall around it open.

How do you decorate a southwestern style living room?

Start with a large landscape over the sofa, then add textures that echo the desert: leather, linen, wood and a patterned rug. Keep wall colors soft so the artwork sets the place, and leave the rest of the wall clear so the scene has room.

What is southwestern bathroom wall decor?

Keep a southwestern bathroom simple: one landscape over the vanity or beside the door, a pale wall and a wood shelf or woven towel. Let the picture name the place and leave the rest plain. A smaller piece is enough in a small room.

What to hang on the south west wall?

If you mean a wall in the southwestern style rather than one facing southwest, hang a landscape of a named place such as a butte, a canyon or a red rock formation. Choose one picture sized to the furniture below it and leave the wall around it open. Add a woven or clay piece nearby if you want more of the look.
