What comes to mind when you think Mexican & Latin American design? Bold, bright, and happy colors? Deep rich wood tones juxtaposed with wrought iron accents? The contrast of white-washed walls with dark Spanish-Colonial style beams?

Bold & Beautful!

When we flipped our calendar ahead to May, we noticed the Cinco de Mayo holiday and decided it was a perfect excuse to explore the Mexican and Latin American design aesthetic. In the festive spirit of Cinco de Mayo, we embarked on a mission to find home designs that embodied an eclectic, contemporary spin on traditional Latin American and Mexican decor. What we found didn't disappoint us! While some people might shy away from bold colors, textiles, and designs, we found several decorators' designs that were eclectic, fun, and versatile enough to suit just about any decorating style.

These are a few of our favorite designs!

We simply love designer and blogger Emily Henderson's room with it's pristine white-washed walls as the perfect canvas for these bright and bold blues and golds. This is an amazing example of blending traditional with a touch of funky eclecticism. According to Emily, "My house is my style laboratory." (Style By Emily Henderson). Her experiments work!

Production designer, Ford Wheeler, has purportedly lived in and designed as many as 17 homes. This room, featured in The NY Times Style Magazine article, "A Place for Everything" (NYTimes.com, 4 Apr 2011) shows a great eclectic mix of furniture and decorative pieces. This light and airy space is grounded by deep, rich reds accented with warm and gold tones. With sculptures and textiles that nod to Mexican and Latin American history, Ford's home blends old with new (see the mid-century chair), subdued with bold.

Using a variety of patterns, textiles, and colors is a cornerstone of Mexican and Latin American styling. When we saw this room (which appeared in a Huffington Post piece, "Modern Mexican Inspiration to Add Warmth to Your Interior Decor") we just about swooned! Most people would look at these patterns while shopping and think "This would never work!" But the designer of this home has proven otherwise.

These are a few of our favorite things!
