Description
One of our listeners asked the question of how someone can lean into the Spanish Colonial style of home, so we have created this podcast for those who have moved into a decades old home and aren’t sure about how to lean into its style. We want to help you know what to keep and preserve, and also what to change to fit your style. We wanted to do a quick little history lesson and talk about 5 principle things that are included in Spanish Colonial architecture, and then why certain celebrity estates are successful and why each of them look different because they each have a fresh new take.

“Spanish Colonial Revival is most often used to describe homes developed in the early 20th century in the US or Mexico. Houses in this style Incorporate key elements of Mediterranean architecture, especially bright white exterior walls while also taking inspiration from Mexican, pueblo, and moorish design styles. The architectural style represents an adaptation of Spanish missions and Mediterranean style homes designed to keep the interior cool even on hot days. In the United States, Spanish revival homes are most popular in Florida, Texas, California, and the Southwest, including Arizona and New Mexico.” 8:20
