Native American broadly describes any Indigenous people in North America and encompasses hundreds of tribes and groups, all with distinct cultures. Native American–style furniture and decor likewise varies widely, from pieces created by Indigenous people to those appropriated by non-native designers.
Indigenous furniture’s rich heritage includes the bentwood boxes of the Northwest Coast carved from cedar for storing household or ceremonial objects. Generations of Native American people have made baskets for holding household items, with those in the Northeast using sweetgrass and those in the Southeast using pine needles and wicker. Artisans in the Plateau region wove watertight pieces like cradles from plant materials. Although these objects were intricately made, they were usually utilitarian rather than decorative.
The colonization of North America and the removal of Indigenous people from their lands led to the suppression of these practices. Many styles that used Native American motifs — such as Southwestern style, which was heavily influenced by the geometric patterns of Navajo textiles — have historically not involved Indigenous creators and, instead, have taken their traditions without their tribal context.
When decorating a home with Native American–style furniture, it is important to do so respectfully, by understanding the origins of motifs and objects and examining who profits from their sale. There are now Indigenous-led companies, such as Cherokee designer Cray Bauxmont-Flynn’s Amatoya and Totem House Design, promoting Indigenous work in furniture and home decor. Supporting Indigenous artists and artisans is essential to confronting the still pervasive issue of cultural appropriation in design.

Contemporary Santa Fe SouthwestModern Desert Southwestern style Flatweave Carpet
Located in Dallas, TX
81023 Southwestern Southwestern style Rug with Storm Pattern, 09'01 x 11'07. Enter the serene convergence of Native American design aesthetics, where the Shibui philosophy gracefully melds with the seamless fusion of Southwestern and Desert Modern styles in this meticulously handwoven Southwestern style rug. The Storm Pattern, a design rooted between 1897 and 1911 at the Crystal Trading Post, captures the essence of rainstorms through its central rectangle, diagonal lightning bolts, and zig-zag lines—an homage to the vibrancy of the growing season. In this distinctive Southwestern style rug, the dynamic interplay of contemporary Santa Fe elements and Southwestern eclecticism commands attention. Adorned with a palette of organic earthy hues, it unfolds a narrative resonating with understated warmth, sophistication, and rustic charm against an abrashed gray backdrop. A small square becomes the focal point, with stepped lines gracefully extending towards each corner. Stepped diamonds, cross motifs, triangles, and geometric shapes further enrich the composition, creating a visual symphony. The clean lines and earth-tone colors form a captivating juxtaposition within the geometric design, embodying the Shibui principle of simple, subtle beauty. Encased by a sleek black...
