Tired of your boring minimalist home decor, but modern Victorian isn’t quite your style? There’s a new trend that’s taking over our Instagram feeds, and it’s just the thing for retired minimalists who want to add some more texture and life into their decor without going full-on maximalist. We’re talking modern Southwest.
Relying on woven wall hangings, natural fibers, geometric patterns and lots of plants, modern Southwest decor is a far cry from the hokey faux-ranch decor you may be used to. Instead, it’s all about using accent pieces against a fairly neutral background — think adding a large hanging plant and patterned rug to an otherwise sparsely decorated room.
And luckily, it’s easy to find modern Southwestern pieces to add to your home. These are some of our favorites available in-store or online. Pick your favorites and get ready to give your home a simple but impactful design overhaul.
