In this living room, leather upholstery and rustic wood furniture provide the foundations for the Western look, but the details - nail heads on the upholstery, Native American patterns on the pillows, Western art and even a saddle displayed as a sculpture - are what truly define the room's style. / Details Make the Design This Spanish-style dining room adds a formal and upscale note to a Western-style home. The Spanish style works well with the Western style because of the crossover of Mexican influences in the Western United States. / Expanding a Style Using Eclecticism The original homeowners added these pillars and arch to frame their bed, but for the new homeowner, the space was too small for a king-size bed set. Using small, triangular end tables with the existing can lighting instead of standard nightstands with table lamps made the space work. / Making Difficult Spaces Work Adding a table for two in the corner of a bedroom or a living room creates a space for an intimate breakfast or a shared game. Such spaces also capture the warmth that transforms a house into a home. / Creating Intimate Spaces Smaller spaces, like the living room in this apartment model, need smaller scale furniture to open up the rooms and to create livable spaces. / Working with Smaller Spaces A Tucson Residence A Residence Tucson, Arizona United States See map: Google Maps By Pamela Portwood
