Characteristics of a Spanish Style Home

Southwestern home styles—typically found in the desert-like climates of southern California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona—are traditionally built of stucco, masonry or adobe (and more recently, insulating concrete forms) to insulate against the intense sun and heat.

Other features:

Red-tiled low-pitched roof
Courtyards
Decorative columns
Arches above doors, porch entries and main windows.
Exteriors painted in white or pastel colors

Concrete Design Ideas

The tile roof is often the most prominent feature of this style, so use it as design inspiration for decorative exterior flatwork.
Stamp or stencil patterns such as Spanish tile, Ashlar slate, Arizona flagstone and European fan go particularly well with a tile roof, in matching or complementary colors.
