Window treatments: Indian baskets come from a long and interesting history of native lifestyle. I like using these colorful baskets to bring Native American style to my home. It is intriguing when you begin studying the history of Indian basket weaving and find that the need for baskets actually started hundreds of years ago and is one of the most ancient art forms known in Indigenous history. Indian baskets, made by Tribes such as the Pueblo, Apache, Navajo and Tarahumara are famous for their beautiful, handmade designs and elaborate styles. As you read about basket making, you will learn that in many Native American Tribes, women are responsible for basket weaving and are taught as little girls from their mothers. Baskets serve many functions in the daily lives of the Native Indians and give the people a way to make a living.

Since there has been a trend in recent years towards more earthy color tones for interior decorating, Native American Indian art can fit in nicely as part of home decor. Most subjects used in Native American Indian art tend to be focused on nature whether the pieces are prints, carvings or pottery. Colors tend to be earthy shades of browns, reds, blacks and yellows since the main raw materials are wood as in carvings from the Pacific Northwest region and clay from the Southwest. Even painted wood carvings or pottery tend to have natural colors often found in nature such as greens and blues. All of these colors work well with the more natural styles of interior decorating today.

The Pacific Northwest region which covers the states of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia (Canada) and the southern part of Alaska, produces some excellent Native American Indian art in the form of wood carvings. This is not surprising since the Pacific Northwest is abundant with forests which have provided the wood as raw material for the region’s Native American Indian art. The wood is sometimes painted in striking colors or just stained with natural looking browns. Either way, such pieces fit in perfectly in rooms with earthy color tones. I have seen walls of living rooms, bedrooms, office den rooms, hallways and even bathrooms enhanced with Pacific Northwest Indian art in the form of both prints and wood plaque carvings. The Pacific Northwest Native American artists also make some of the most striking aboriginal masks in the world which are also suitable for hanging on walls.
