Are you designing the palatial casa of your dreams? Fortunately, Spanish-style home decor is prevalent from coast-to-coast. You don’t have to look far to find examples of Spanish Revival architecture! Spanish-style home decor is made easy with these simple design elements influenced by its culture.
Spanish Style Flooring
Start by setting the foundation of your casa designs with Mexican tile flooring. In the cosmos of Mexican tiles, there exists a heaping amount of affordable tile options. Saltillo tile flooring is the most common choice because it lends to many styles. Fortunately, handmade Saltillo tile is available in various shapes and sizes. This Spanish-style flooring is ideal for various other design styles, too!
For a foolproof Spanish revival look, consider the Antique Riviera pattern, which combines the San Felipe and Fleur de Lis-shaped tiles. With a textured surface, Antique Saltillo is reminiscent of reclaimed terracotta floor tile designs. Not to mention, it’s only a fraction of the price compared to real, reclaimed tiles!
Manganese Saltillo plays out nicely in Spanish-style homes as well. This San Felipe pattern in Manganese Saltillo displays a neutral color range of light and dark brown, teemed with Merlot shades of color throughout. (The San Felipe tile is also known as the Arabesque tile pattern.)

Traditionally, painted Talavera tiles are used as color accents in homes swayed by Spanish decor. In like manner, consider adding pops of color through textiles such as accent pillows or Talavera pottery.
Niches & Arches in Spanish Style Architecture
Next, Spanish-style home decor and architecture typically feature built-in niches and alcoves. These are quintessential areas for displaying rustic artwork, wall tiles, or creative effects with accent lighting. Terracotta tiles are a durable and stylish option in these spaces.
You can also create Spanish-style home decor by tying in dark wood elements and ornamental ironwork. I love the look of bulky, rustic iron chandeliers and adorning wall sconces. I’ve said it before — lighting is the jewelry of your home, so make a statement with your lighting choice.
Rustic Style Furniture
In the same way, that ironwork boldly speaks, ‘I am Spanish decor!’, and so does rustic-styled furniture. This is yet another element where dark wood can be incorporated for a typical Spanish influence. Finally, accessorize with culturally infused Spanish elements to complete the look.
Now that you’re up to speed with these design elements have some fun creating your Spanish-style home. Once it’s complete, throw a party! Serve delectable margaritas! Turn up the mariachi music! Your friends will surely be impressed by your artistic design prowess!
