Rich colours and woven textiles form a unique design aesthetic, crafted by the union of local Aztec and Mayan cultures and Spanish influences. Bold pigments and vivid patterns come together in simple and rustic spaces, resulting in a way of living that is both invigorating and homely; an authentic Mexican style.

The dynamic writer and photographer duo Barbara and RenΓ© Stoeltie have struck gold againβ€”this time with a truly breathtaking look at Mexico's most remarkable abodes. Travelling far and wide, from Costa Careyes to the YucatΓ‘n Peninsula, this photographic journey will surprise, delight, and inspire you.

From the home of Constructivist architect Luis BarragΓ‘n, a restored 16th-century hacienda, to a traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwelling, the contrast of styles within the pages of Living in Mexico are testament to the country's vibrantly diverse palette of textures and hues. With many new images, some never published before, prepare to be transported to the heart of lush and eclectic Mexico.
