Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

What makes the difference between southwestern homes and other design styles is the abundant presence of natural sources of light. Decorator and writer (Outdoor Style, 2003) Martinson uncovers many of the characteristics that distinguish interiors in Arizona, New Mexico, and other southwestern states, primarily through well-captioned color photographs, prefaced by a page or two on each of the eight spaces showcased. Observations from a variety of editors, architects, and designers emphasize both specific and universal points of view. "Have no fear of color," says one. "Bathroom surfaces should be materials that can be easily maintained," says another. Visual ideas that will help make any house, regardless of its location, a home. Barbara Jacobs

Note the 'New' in the title, not 'Traditional'. Know what you're getting.
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

The title mentions 'New' Southwest Home, and that is indeed what you'll find here. If--like myself and a few other reviewers here--you were looking for a more classic Santa Fe / Adobe / Spanish style of house, you'll find this book comes up short. Only about a third of the pictures show houses that are arguably in that style. The remainder of the photographs are of contemporary kitchens, imaginative kids rooms, media rooms the size of small theatres, and modern, extravagant bedrooms that you could easily envision in a New York apartment were it not for the cactus outside the window.

There are only a few exterior shots, so consider this an interior design book. Furthermore, the vast majority of these homes are obviously owned by the trust fund / stock option set; don't expect to duplicate these looks at Walmart. If you enjoy looking at pictures of gorgeously decorated interiors where cost was no object and can set aside practical thoughts such as the need to hire a full-time cleaning staff or the damage your kids could cause in a room full of lit candles and antique pottery, this is the book for you.

I'm not going to downgrade this book just because it wasn't what I was expecting. It gets at least three stars for its beautiful photography and its excellent illustration of the color palettes of the Southwest. I gave it another star for mostly avoiding the cliche Cowboy and Indian Southwest motifs, such as bull horns on the wall (only 1 picture thankfully), Indians in a feathered hairdress (Plains Indians, not Southwest), or Totem poles (Pacific Coast Indians, not Southwest) (just a few pictures each thankfully). For extra credit, see if you can spot the same little green lizard that appears in at least three different homes. I could probably swing the green lizard.

Moving from Florida to New Mexico is a learning experience. Styles of homes and furnishings are very different as one might expect in leaving the tropics for the desert.

This book gave me beautiful pictures to help in the transition and build a home with style. I highly recommend it for beautiful concepts in decorating and design and those who desire pictures to get creative juices flowing!

Old, tired ideas!

Was so excited to get this book and looking forward to getting some great decorating tips for our new home. However, the photos are very dated if you are looking for more on trend or modern southwest design. Very disappointed. That being said, it’s “on me” to be more thorough when reading reviews and description.

We bought three Southwest Design books to help us with our new home in the red-rock country of S. Utah, and this one was by far the best. Excellent photographs and ideas. Highly recommended.
