The Mesonia House Conquers Design’s Fear of Color in the Heart of Mexico

Summary

• Mestiz has unveiled Mesonia, a colorful one-bedroom guesthouse located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The completely hand-crafted suite was designed by the Mestiz team with the help of skilled Mexican artisans, integrating the country’s traditional arts and crafts into the bold design.

Mexican design studio Mestiz has revealed an eye-catching “artisanal” guest house in San Miguel de Allende, bringing to life founder Daniel Valero’s dream of crafting every aspect of the space, from the walls and doors to furniture, dishes, textiles, lighting, tiles, and beyond.

The one-bedroom Mesonia guesthouse is overflowing with vivid, rich colors and handcrafted items made by artisans nationwide, embodying the lively spirit of Mexican culture.

This unique design breaks away from the simplicity of Modernism and the blandness of modern homes by incorporating organic materials and vibrant color schemes that include magenta, sky blue, kelly green, and bright red. Glossy sky-blue floors and walls create a striking contrast with the warm, rustic wooden ceilings adorned with exposed beams. A red shiplap headboard serves both as a focal point and an accent wall. Scalloped design elements, such as those above the bed, are repeated throughout the space on the red bed frame, green sideboard, and assorted wooden furniture pieces.

Artisans from San Miguel de Allende craft, paint, spin, and construct pieces of furniture using traditional carpentry methods, thereby infusing the environment with the region’s rich woodworking heritage. Notable among these standout case goods are a verdant bistro table embellished with spikes at its base and adorned with scalloped edges on top; a side table in a vibrant red hue intricately carved into a flower design.

Bypassing the intense, vibrant colors, earthy shades lend a sense of connection to Mexico’s stunning landscape, anchoring the suite in its natural charm. Mestiz tiles, glossy and richly brown, adorn both the fireplace and en-suite bathroom, while tanned wicker serves as the foundation for a striking armchair and graduated dining benches.

Instead of using “high-saturation hues” to describe the intense colors, I used “intense, vibrant colors.” The phrase “ground the suite in the natural beauty of Mexico’s terrain” is replaced with “anchoring the suite in its natural charm,” and instead of saying “earthy tones,” I used “earthy shades.” Instead of “Mestiz’s glossy brown tiles clad the mantle and the en-suite bathroom,” I said “Mestiz tiles, glossy and richly brown, adorn both the fireplace and en-suite bathroom.” And instead of saying “tan wicker is the medium for a statement armchair and stepped dinette benches,” I said “tanned wicker serves as the foundation for a striking armchair and graduated dining benches.”)
