Wrought Iron Accenting

An easy way to feature Spanish design in your home is to incorporate decorative wrought iron accenting throughout your space. Utilize wrought iron in your lighting fixtures, stairway railings, side tables, and more to infuse a classic touch with texture, and dimension into your Spanish design. 

Stucco Wall Finish

Closely resembling cement, stucco is a product that’s applied in multiple layers to add a textured finish to a wall. Stucco is a mix of cement, sand, water, and lime, and is a commonly used technique in Spanish exterior and interior design. 

If you’re looking to add a hint of Spanish architecture to your design scheme, using a stucco finish on your walls gives it the perfect Mediterranean-inspired color and texture. By incorporating the right colors and accent decor, you can transform your home into a sanctuary of Spanish design in no time!

Warm Flooring

Choosing the right type of flooring for your space involves making sure the flooring is not only comforting underfoot but also adds to the inviting aura that you’re trying to achieve. Opt for warm wood or natural stone floors to add organic warmth and lend an authentic feel to spaces like your kitchen, bedroom, or living spaces. These floors are sure to complement the rest of your décor with their earth-tone hues and breathe natural life into your home’s environment with ease. 

Refreshed Walls

One of the easiest ways to bring warmth to your space is through paint. Dress up your walls using a warm color palette to easily create an inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for cozying up in even the coldest winter months. Use warm terracotta, deep brown, and shades of rustic orange and red hues to encourage the comforting atmosphere that you’re looking for. By incorporating warm, rusty tones, you can create a space for refuge in your home. Plus, when paired with the right flooring, you’ll have a proper foundation for the rest of your design scheme. 

Natural, Cozy Decor

Using the right accents to decorate your space is crucial to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Layering with rugs, adding texture through art, and bringing in small comforts like pillows and throws are all easy ways to change the look and feel of your home. Incorporate lots of natural materials whether through leather chairs, artisan vases, half-dipped stoneware, or rattan furniture to give your design a down-to-earth feel that’s comforting in its familiarity. By incorporating natural materials, warm textures, and color palettes into your home, you can create an inviting sanctuary this season.
