Hacienda Style Homes

Years ago in Mexico, in the time of the great land barons, colonial hacienda style homes called rachos were actually a self-sufficient small towns. There was the town where the peasant workers lived, a private chapel, bunkhouses for the vaqueros (cowboys), a tack room for saddles and harnesses, barns for special animals and of course the buildings for the prosperous families. However, times have changed and today hacienda homes have a much broader and more decorative meaning. You do not have to buy tequila or wine estate. You can turn your home into more Southwestern appeal with some smaller or bolder changes by incorporating to interior and exterior patio dining furniture or talavera flower planters with vivid colors.

It is a truth that Mexican hacienda homes should have a courtyard with surrounding bedrooms and access to the rooms under a walkway. It is a must in a classic way of interpreting it. If you are lucky enough and you are building a new or renovating the old house, you can take it into consideration. Typical courtyard has towering walls and some supporting accessories. Create a calming oasis through the flowering vines, arches, carved stone columns, tranquil fountain, and tempting palm pools. The Spanish style homes still need stone, soil, wood, and tile textures to reveal the Southern characters. The outdoor architecture of this kind of a house takes material, design, and texture from the geographical location and available natural resources. You can, for instance, build a house around existing old trees that perhaps speak the history of the terrain and build up a pool there that would be a more modern interpretation of the rustic building material for unique design ideas.
