Navajo Inspired Interior

This season bold tribal prints and colours are a central feature across a variety of interior designs. The use of colour and pattern is perfect for introducing a fresh and eye-catching look in an otherwise plain interior space. A Navajo inspired interior design encompasses intricate patterns, fabric, accessories and a variety of simple and bold colour schemes to create character and style within your interior space. This look is perfect for creating a feature in any room of your home.

More is more with a Navajo interior design when it comes to patterns and prints. Use them across the walls, textiles, furniture and accessories to create a cosy and eye-catching look. A large set of tribal print curtains will look great on a plain white painted wall and can be coordinated with a variety of Navajo inspired cushions, throws and rugs in monochrome or brightly coloured patterns that will create an eye catching feature within your living room or bedroom interior. Opt for traditional rugs featuring fringed detailing and woven finishes to create a traditional, cultural feel within your interior space. These rugs can also be hung from your walls as an alternative to traditional canvases or framed wall art.

Chunky wooden furniture is a key look in a Navajo inspired interior design. Rich textural oaks or knotted walnuts and mahogany look great within this trend and can be used across your dining,living room and bedroom furniture to create a cosy and warm interior feel. You could also include some woven basket weave and rattan style furniture and mix and match with your solid wooden designs to create a more relaxed and tribal interior feel. Keep your walls as warm and neutral as possible in soft white, cream and beige tones and use your accessories and fabrics to create the visual pattern and colour within the room. When choosing sofas and chairs for this interior look try to stick to natural leather materials in tonal tan and brown hues or opt for simple sleek black that will melt together with the variety of patterns and prints across the room.

Where possible try and source as many authentic Navajo accessories as you can including totems, masks and quilts that can be used across your interior space to create pattern and colour within the room. Alternatively there are many replica style tribal accessories on the high street at the moment that will allow you to re-create a similar Navajo inspired design. Create groups of accessories and ornaments across a sideboard or windowsill area for example alternatively use a plain feature wall to display a variety of wall-mounted accessories that will create a gallery style look within your chosen room. Opt for natural wooden ceiling lights, lamp bases or deer horn wall mounts that will bring out the sense of nature and the wilderness that is associated with the Navajo tribe.
