Margaritas, sun, and vibrant colors - the perfect mix for creating a modern Mexican interior design scheme. Who hasn't dreamt of a holiday in Mexico? Now, you can bring joy and vibrant colors to your own home. In this article, we will explore the elements that make up modern Mexican interiors and show you how to create a space that embodies the spirit of Frida Kahlo, the iconic Mexican artist.
Craftsmanship and Detail
One of the standout features of Mexican interior design is the craftsmanship and attention to detail in each piece of furniture. Traditional patterns and natural materials are emphasized, but modern pieces also find their place in this style. Wood, ceramics, glass, and metal in bold, cheerful colors can be used to create an artistic look in your home.

Matte and Polished Finishes
Both matte and polished finishes work well in Mexican-inspired interiors. If you're fortunate enough to live in a historic apartment, consider leaving the matte, old wooden floors uncovered. Another matte accent that adds bohemian glamour is sponge painting on the walls.

Matching Patterns and Colors
When choosing patterns for your Mexican-inspired design scheme, look for irregular, colorful stripes or glamorous geometric forms. Combine these patterns with mid-century design pieces and add some obligatory plants like cacti to create an impeccable Mexican modern look.

The Power of Color
Color is key in Mexican interior design. Pick unusual shades of orange, pink, or blue to instantly bring dynamic energy to your room. Alternatively, you can keep the walls in cool titanium white for a modern-historical balance and let the furniture and accessories take center stage. Mexican stripes work well with both warm and cold color schemes.
