Woven Table Runner

This brightly colored table runner will zhush up any spot in your home. It's available in three different color palettes: red, mustard or blue, so choose the one that works best for your decor. It would be a beautiful addition to your Sunday brunch table or a boozy girls' night in.

Southwest Throw Blanket

Inspired by the warm, geometric motifs of the Southwest region, this throw blanket would make a lovely addition to your sofa or at the end of your bed. With tufted details, the blanket is super textured and unique. The fluffy tassel finish on each corner might be our favorite detail.

Embroidered Baskets

These stylish baskets are constructed of plastic bottles. Through a recycling process, the bottles are turned into yarn, dyed different colors, then woven together. Available in both a medium and a large size, these baskets can be grouped or used individually in an entry, bathroom or anywhere else you might need a bit of extra storage in your home.

Leather Fringe Pillow

This leather throw pillow gets some serious desert cred with its killer fringe finish. The fringe is featured on two sides of the pillow, making it a perfect choice for the arm of your sofa. Made from luxurious tumbled leather, you can choose a pillow in brown or black, then decide if you want a feather down-filled insert or a down-alternative insert.

Faux Cowhide Rug

As far as we're concerned, cowhide rugs are always a great classic choice for your space, especially if you have an oddly shaped area to cover. This faux cowhide is constructed of synthetic fibers and features a warm desert-inspired brown and cream color palette. Lucky for you, the synthetic fibers means that this rug is super easy to care for, so it's a great choice if you have kids or pets running around.

Hanging Tapestry

Handwoven by artists in India, this tapestry manages to feel bohemian and desert-inspired all at once. Made from a combo of cotton and art silk, it has a fabulous texture to it as well as a fresh blue color palette. At 36 inches tall, it's an excellent solution for a spot in your home where you need some bold art. It would even look lovely over a bed as a faux headboard.

Faux Cactus Plant

Cacti tend to be way easier to care for than other plants, but some of us are still such plant-killing offenders that we need other options. This five-foot-tall faux cactus is a fantastic choice if you want to quickly and easily get that desert feeling flowing in your home. To make the cactus look even more real, you could "plant" it in another pot with real dirt.

Buy It: CB2, $299.00

X-Base Pouf

The clean, bold geometric pattern of this handy pouf has us smitten. With a neutral black-and-white palette, this pouf could work well with almost any type of decor. Use it for some extra seating in your living or family room or even as a side table.

Southwest Runner

This terracotta color always screams desert vibes to us, and we're not mad about it at all. This stylish bath mat features coordinating cream details as well as a braided fringe finish. Best of all, it's machine washable, so it's super easy to care for.

Buy It: Urban Outfitters, $49.00

Macrame Wall Hanging

This boho macrame piece is handmade by artisans, so each one has a one-of-a-kind look to them. It's a generous 40 inches high, so it's another great choice for an empty spot on your wall. It's a creamy neutral color but will also bring a lot of texture and interest into your space.

Buy It: Overstock.com, Sale: $61.64

Faux Succulents

This low textured ceramic pot features four different kinds of faux succulents. With a variety of color and texture, this piece would look fantastic on a coffee table or as a centerpiece on a smaller dining table. You could even put it out on the front porch or balcony, and no one will know it's faux.

Buy It: Crate & Barrel, $49.95

Rattan Halo Mirror

Rattan can sometimes look a bit Golden Girls-esque, but we think this pretty mirror is all kinds of chic. The sunburst style makes us think of a hot summer day, and the varying length spikey pieces give the piece a fun, funky edge to it.

Buy It: Hayneedle, $137.71
