When your home has a unique Southwestern decor, the centerpiece of the entire theme could be a cow or buffalo skull. Either having them bleached white or custom colored, they help to tie in the entire look, drawing the majority of the focus in your home. While having a large sized skull can be enough to really grab attention, you want to consider having a local professional carve the skull with some intricate designs.
The Unique Carvings
The carved skull helps to take your decoration to a completely new level. The artist has the ability to add carvings that relate closely to that theme. Making special carvings that are native to the piece, it helps to really give the skull a one of a kind look that will draw more attention when seen. The carved skull will complement the piece, helping to complete that unique theme and give all your guests something to really talk about. One thing to consider, check out the artist and his work before you commit to any work. This will ensure that you both have the same vision.
Adding Some Color
While the carved skull is enough to hold its own on your wall, adding some color to the skull will help to take it to the next level. The colors can be incorporated to match the colors in the room, or the colors can be added so they follow along with certain native colors that will help authenticate the skull. Once the piece has been completed, it will become the focal point of the room and your home, allowing you to build the theme around that piece.
