Decorative arts run the gamut of styles and materials. The very definition includes most of the other categories listed here. In addition to those, however, there are architectural furnishings and decorative accents that are highly collectible simply for the sake of enhancing the personal environment.

Decorative accents include pillows, blankets, quilts, lighting, small furnishings, whimsical accessories and serious crafts such as old santos and crosses (which, along with kachinas, should be displayed with utmost respect for their religious origins). Architectural items include ceramic tile, carved doors, stained glass, window and floor coverings and wrought iron elements.
