One of the most notable benefits of globalization is the ease with which we can learn about and access music, literature and also the most popular decorative techniques from countless countries. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of Nordic sobriety, the sumptuousness of Arab countries or the color of the East. Nowadays we have a great diversity of objects from other cultures at our fingertips (or a click away in the worst case). Next, we are going to focus specifically on traditional Mexican decoration, which is characterized by the originality and diversity of its elements and which is perfectly imitable in a country like Spain.
The use of the acapulco chair has spread significantly in recent years and has earned a well-deserved place in decoration magazines. In the 1950s, José Cortés designed this chair with a metal frame and seats in pastel colors that imitate traditional Mayan fabric. Over time, the natural threads were replaced by PVC, but without losing the aesthetics and functionality of the original product.
The acapulco chair should be large enough to rest your head and relax as if you were facing the Caribbean. Its ergonomics and the variety of shapes and colors have made it one of the star elements of any terrace, patio or living room, why not?
Color has historically been a fundamental ingredient in Mexican culture and art. This chronophilia has been rooted in design and architecture in the taste for bright and saturated tones, both in facades and interiors, which invite you to enjoy life.
We can talk about Mexican Pink as one of the national colors. It is the color of the flower of the bougainvillea flower, a climbing plant widespread in the country, similar to fuchsia. If you want your house to breathe an authentic Mexican air, banish the white from your walls and give them a touch of pink. Of course, hang some objects such as plates, hats or paintings that break with the monochrome, which is not a plan either!
Color continues to be the protagonist in the ethnic-style rugs, curtains and tapestries that you can incorporate into your living room or bedroom. The prints of the Mexican indigenous people are normally composed of geometric patterns and contain motifs and colors present in nature: red, blue, green...
One of the most popular is Otomi, an embroidery that was originally made by the women of the homonymous town and is recognized by the full-color drawings of birds and other animals. They are also known as tenangos, because they are still embroidered in the traditional way in Tenango de Doria, in the state of Hidalgo. Look how good it looks, even on your dining room tablecloth!
Succulents and cacti will match perfectly with your new Mexican decoration. These are two types of plants that are abundant in the arid areas of the country. Among their advantages, they require little care and you will always find one that adapts to the tastes and characteristics of your home thanks to the diversity of species and sizes.
