Southwestern kitchens and cabinet doors often use chili pepper red, terra cotta orange or turquoise accent colors paired with natural alder or pine with a clear finish. Knotty or rustic wood is often used in southwestern cabinets and furniture. Open wood ceiling beams are popular and edges are often rounded and reflect Adobe architecture. Hardware is often wrought iron and accessories include local pottery, baskets, hand carved wood pieces, local art and brightly-colored, woven wool blankets and rugs. Cabinet door styles vary widely from flat panel cope and stick with little detail to raised panel, ornate southwest designs that reflect native American motifs.
