Home Interior Design Tips

The color legacy in Mexico and Central America predates the Spanish influence. It is seen mostly in the painted structures of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, and continued through the Spanish colonial period, as shown in its bright blue haciendas, deep reds and rich ochres, and could still be found in the bubbly greens and bright pinks that are used today to decorate. For the interiors, these deep and rich colors are muted, that reflects the original decors using the natural pigments and dyes. Their traditional color combinations include ruddy earth colors teamed with dark blues, and intense yellows teamed with muddy browns.
