Pueblo Style Décor

Pueblo architectural style is very well known because of its unique and exotic style. Some features that you will see from a Pueblo house is the round-edged walls and the flat roof. With its flat roof, it would be better if you don’t design your house to have this kind of roof if you live in an area that rains a lot, except if you create a really good system on how the rain water can flow on the roof.

Furthermore, the outside wall usually has stepped levels and there are woods that sticking out of the walls. The windows are simple and deep. The door of the Pueblo style house is usually a heavy wooden door. The colors that are normally used for the walls are natural colors.

The history of this style brings us back to the ancient times, where the Pueblo Indians built their houses where they resided as a whole big family. During the 17th and 18 century, the Spanish adapted this style, which they called pueblos, means villages. While originally the Pueblo style houses were made with adobe, these days people use concrete or other materials that are covered with adobe to make it look original.
