Interior Decorating and Home Decor With Native
American Indian Art
Author: Clint Leung
Article: Since there has been a trend in recent
years towards more earthy color tones for interior decorating,
Native American Indian art can fit in nicely as part of home decor.
Most subjects used in Native American Indian art tend to be focused
on nature whether the pieces are prints, carvings or pottery. Colors
tend to be earthy shades of browns, reds, blacks and yellows since
the main raw materials are wood as in carvings from the Pacific
Northwest region and clay from the Southwest. Even painted wood
carvings or pottery tend to have natural colors often found in
nature such as greens and blues. All of these colors work well with
the more natural styles of interior decorating today.
The Pacific Northwest region which covers the
states of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia (Canada) and the
southern part of Alaska, produces some excellent Native American
Indian art in the form of wood carvings. This is not surprising
since the Pacific Northwest is abundant with forests which have
provided the wood as raw material for the region’s Native American
Indian art. The wood is sometimes painted in striking colors or just
stained with natural looking browns. Either way, such pieces fit in
perfectly in rooms with earthy color tones. I have seen walls of
living rooms, bedrooms, office den rooms, hallways and even
bathrooms enhanced with Pacific Northwest Indian art in the form of
both prints and wood plaque carvings. The Pacific Northwest Native
American artists also make some of the most striking aboriginal
masks in the world which are also suitable for hanging on walls.
Native American Indian art as home decor helps
bring in an atmosphere of nature in the overall interior decorating
of a room. This is because of their natural colors and also their
subject matters which tend to be animals such as eagles, bears,
thunderbirds, killer whales and salmons. Pacific Northwest Native
art in particular gives homes in that region a local flavor. Many
homes in this part of North America have this type of artwork as
part of interior decorating. This style of Native American Indian
art is still relatively unknown to many parts of North America and
the rest of the world so for homes outside of the Pacific Northwest
region, a nice wood carving can be seen as exotic treasure brought
back from a homeowner's travels. Check out some examples of Pacific
Northwest Indian art either in a gallery or online and imagine how a
piece or two can be part of your home's interior decorating.
