The Interesting Patterns In A Southwest Bedspread

The first thing anyone sees upon entering a bedroom is, of course, the bed. And what could make a more striking impression than your bed covered with a beautiful southwest bedspread? The bold designs and colors will attract anyone’s attention, and the bright, but natural colors will accent any bedroom. These southwest bedspreads will lend a rustic, yet surprisingly sophisticated touch, to your bedroom. Both children and adults will love the southwest look, and a southwest bedspread will definitely cheer up anyone’s dull or drab bedroom.

The desert landscape of the southwest provided the inspiration for the geometric patterns developed by Native Americans. Taken by these native people and put onto their pottery and other art forms, was the stunning palette of colors displayed on the buttes and mesas as the sun crossed the sky. 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. No matter what color scheme you are planning for your bedroom, there is a southwest bedspread that will meet your expectations. 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 little use of color in the pattern shows off the personality of the bedspread. These are the colors most often seen at dawn, when the background of the desert is first touched by the warm sun.

Turquoise, so beloved of Native Americans of the southwest, can be found providing a background for some of the bolder patterned bedspreads. Many people, who base their decor on Navajo culture, will especially appreciate the turquoise color blended into the bedspread hues. Both the bands of color and the geometric shapes create a spectacular bedspread. This will be a dramatic type of color scheme for your bedroom and will make your bed the center of attention.

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.
