How to Emulate the Vibrant New Mexico Culture In Your New Home’s Design

New Mexico lifestyles are unique, in that they are usually a fusion of Western-style culture and Mexican aesthetics. The variation between the northern and southern areas of New Mexico mean that depending on where your new home is in the state, your property is likely to vary.

Although there are some traditional home styles you’ll find in the state, most areas of New Mexico are very scarcely populated. This means that newer homes up for sale are likely to be built recently. 

From patio iron doors to adding unique tiles, you’ll have so much potential to add some New Mexico pizzazz into your new home!

Luxurious Patio and Backyard Space

One aspect of New Mexico homes that we love is the emphasis on having outdoor areas in the home that are just as well maintained and designed as the interior. From earthy driveways and walkways up front, to having outdoor fire pits and kitchens with a modern patio — New Mexico residents love to spend part of their day in the open.

Consider creating a cozy breakfast nook that transforms into a bonfire circle at night in your backyard. Connect this space to your interior with bi-fold or black steel French doors for easy access. We guarantee this will become your favorite relaxation area!

Saltillo Tile and Adobe Bricks

Another key addition to make is using Saltillo and Adobe textural features for your flooring and walls. Saltillo tiles are terracotta tiles named for the location where they originate in Mexico. These porous tiles are usually brown to orange in color, emulating a rustic clay look on your floors. Saltillo tiles are cool to the touch, perfect for New Mexico temperatures.

Adobe bricks are made from mud/earth and other bio-organic materials. As a more basic version of red bricks, Adobe bricks add a unique texture to your home and work best for your exterior. Both these elements tend to bring an earthiness to otherwise cold-toned contemporary design.

Wooden Elements: Viga and Latilla

Wood is a key ingredient for any homes incorporating Latino culture. Both externally and internally, wooden beams are incorporated for aesthetic and functional purposes. Viga refers to wooden beams made of darker wood that protrude from the house. Used in adobe homes, these beams can be added easily to your home.

Latillas are usually lighter than Viga and are usually found lining the ceiling inside the home at equal distances. Latillas provide extra support and can add some character to your ceilings. Incorporate these with some transom black steel windows for an effortlessly complementary style.  

Ornate Scrollwork Iron Entry Doors

Scrollwork wrought iron doors are some of the most classic kinds of entry doors in both American and Mexican architecture. Pinky’s Iron Doors, as a premier wrought iron entry door provider, is the best place to find an elegant addition for your new home.
