Show Off Your Personality With A Southwest Bedspread

Now that you've decided to decorate your house in the southwest style, it will only make sense to carry that look throughout your home and into your master bedroom. Other bedrooms in the house will look equally as nice showing off this type of decor. There is no reason to confine the relaxed, natural southwest style to your living room. Why not enjoy these colorful designs in the room where you spend one third of your life? And, as the focal point of every bedroom is the bed, dress up your bed with a southwest bedspread. The wonderful Native American blanket designs have now been introduced as very attractive and bright bedspreads.

Native Americans were inspired to create the geometric patterns provided by the desert landscape in many of their art forms. The stunning palette of colors displayed on the buttes and mesas as the sun crossed the sky were taken by these native people and put onto their pottery and other art forms. Sand paintings, created for healing ceremonies, were also the basis for many of these designs. The intense colors of their surroundings was produced in their fine embroidery.

This art and these colors have now been woven into high quality southwest bedspreads. They will create warmth and joy in any bedroom. There is a southwest bedspread that will meet your expectations no matter what color scheme you plan on incorporating into your bedroom. Both king and queen size bedspreads are available. The soft browns, creams, burnished reds, and sage greens are reflected in the more muted bedspreads, blending into the furnishings and walls of your home. A subtle touch of color here and there in the pattern serves to accentuate the basic scheme of the bedspread. When the background of the desert is first touched by the warm sun, these are the colors created.

Turquoise, so beloved of Native Americans of the southwest, can be found providing a background for some of the bolder patterned bedspreads. The turquoise color blended into the bedspread hues will be appreciated by many who base their decor on Navajo culture. Both the bands of color and the geometric shapes create a spectacular bedspread. Making your bed the center of attention, this will create a dramatic type of color in your bedroom.

Many other geometric patterns, all based on Native American pottery and art, can be found incorporated into southwestern bedspread designs. The range of colors and patterns is extensive and choosing a different bedspread for every bedroom will carry the southwest theme throughout your home. To really lend a bunkhouse look to a bedroom, bedspreads featuring running horses can also be found. Placing a bedspread based on southwest designs on your bed will help to coordinate the southwestern decor of your bedroom and at the same time, add color and character to the room.
