 Otomi Table Runner Photo: Morrissey Fabric Otomi textiles are not new to the design scene. In fact, those of us residing near Mexico have most likely had exposure at some point to the festive hand embroidered textiles. These colorful pieces are particularly popular during the summer months because of the rainbow of colors and playful motifs that emit a relaxed style.  Otomi Embroidery Head Boards Photo: Pinterest The bedroom seen above shows a contemporary use of the Otomi textiles. Also called Tenango, these festive textiles are used for upholstery on the head boards in this girl's room. The accent pillows are also crafted from Otomi and have hot pink backs to bring out the color. The silver pouf is a nice designer touch to elevate the space to a more modern feel.
