- 1). Paint your walls a color that embodies Mexican style or culture. Burnt oranges, warm yellows and terra-cotta are colors that appear often in Mexican artwork and design. Avoid colors with cool tones.
- 2). Purchase solid wooden furniture constructed from pine or cherry. Rustic and natural looks fit the Mexican theme, so avoid glossy finishes on any piece of furniture. Place dusky blue, green, red or pink cushions and pillows on couches and armchairs.
- 3). Place a woven rug in a geometric pattern on your floor. Wooden or tile floors best fit the Mexican theme. Accent the room with multiple woven rugs if wall-to-wall carpeting is already installed.
- 4). Choose a focal point for the room. A framed Mexican flag or a large sombrero hung from the wall above the couch or armchairs will attract your visitor's eyes to the portion of the room where socialization will take place.
- 5). Pick light sources that are constructed from wrought iron or wood. Lamps or a central light on a dimmer will allow you to adjust the light level to fit the occasion.
- 6). Complete the room's Mexican theme with accessories made of materials such as leather, dark iron, wood, clay and pewter. Ideas include pewter candlesticks, wooden picture frames, iron doorknobs and cacti in clay pots. Purchase Mexican artwork to add color to the room. Bright, woven baskets and blankets also add interest while fitting the Mexican style.
