As an interior designer, it is always such an inspiration to learn about other cultures’ traditions and design.  This year, we are celebrating Cinco de Mayo by sharing some of our favorite Mexican-inspired design with you!

When choosing items for any of my clients’ homes, I am always on the lookout for handmade products first.  I love the unique, one-of-a-kind feel that artisan pieces bring to every home, and that is why I have chosen these beautiful handpainted talavera tiles.  Use them as a backsplash on your kitchen wall or as an addition to your staircase as they have so beautifully done here!

The vibrant colors in both this quilt and pouf will totally transform the feel of your bedroom!  Using multicolored prints like these are especially great in smaller spaces!
