Designing in Punta Mita, just north of Puerto Vallarta, is always a dream. For this project, we wanted to bring together coastal luxury with artisanal craftsmanship from Guadalajara and other design-forward regions of Mexico. The result is a laid-back, tropical-modern look that blends comfort, color, and cultural detail.
The best part? You can easily recreate this Punta Mita interior design style for your own Mexican home—whether DIY or with our help at Forrest Glover Design. From hammocks to surfboards, rustic wooden tables to artisan rugs, here’s how we sourced and styled the key pieces.
This is the main photo we used as inspiration for this Punta Mita interior design project.
Hammocks: The Soul of Mexican Coastal Design
No Punta Mita home is complete without a hammock. Whether you use it for long weekend naps, breezy afternoons with a book, or simply as decorative whimsy, hamacas are essential in Yucatán-inspired design.
One of our favorite sources in Guadalajara is Viento Arte & Decoración, known for their cotton luxury hammocks—what we like to call las hamacas de lujo. Their name, Viento (meaning “wind,” “breeze,” or even “rope”), captures the spirit of hammocks perfectly.
📍 Location: Av. Pablo Neruda 3133, Providencia, Guadalajara
🌐 Website: N/A — visit in person for the full experience
🗣 English & Spanish spoken
For online shopping, check Hamacas.mx, though keep in mind that international shipping to the U.S. runs about $100 USD per hammock.
Surfboards: Decorative & Functional Coastal Accents
Surf culture is synonymous with Punta Mita living, but you might be surprised to find Sayulita Shack Surf Shop right in Guadalajara. Perfect for decorative surfboards or sports-ready boards, it’s located just blocks from Fórum Tlaquepaque.
📍 Location: Calle Río Negro 1740, Atlas, Guadalajara (near Tlaquepaque)

For U.S.-based readers, we love UsedSurf in San Clemente, CA. Their Retro Surfboard Collection is especially chic for wall art in coastal homes.
Central Tables: Rustic, Minimal & Space-Opening
Instead of a single heavy coffee table, we used wooden stump tables as the central focal point. Smaller-scale tables keep the space feeling larger and more open while still offering functionality.
In Guadalajara, Terra Cu is our go-to for versatile wooden stools and tables. Some of our favorites include:
Corona Stool (Banco Corona) – sculptural, simple, and timeless
Bola Stool Set – available in multiple colors and sizes
Esfera Coffee Table – for those who want a larger tabletop surface
📍 Location: Av. México 2511, Vallarta Norte, Guadalajara

Area Rugs: The Missing Puzzle Piece in Mexican Homes
Here’s the truth: quality rugs in Mexico are notoriously difficult to source. Many local options are polyester-based with questionable durability. That’s why we often mix imported rugs with locally crafted furniture.
Options we recommend:
Feizy Rugs — available through Expo Muebles in Guadalajara
Lavin Tapetes — local but best purchased in person due to limited online info
Maison Lafrena (Laguna Beach, CA) — stunning Moroccan-inspired rugs at excellent price points, though stock is often limited. Explore Maison Lafrena Rugs
Stark Carpet (San Francisco, CA) — our go-to trade vendor for fully custom luxury rugs.
At Forrest Glover Design, we also have the ability to import rugs for our clients, ensuring the perfect balance of durability, beauty, and scale.
Why Work With an Interior Designer in Mexico
While you can shop these items on your own, sourcing furniture and accessories in Mexico often requires more than Google searches. Many of the best vendors don’t have functioning websites, and transactions are often best done in person.
Hiring an interior designer with established vendor relationships in Guadalajara, Mexico City, and beyond ensures:
Access to hidden artisan workshops
Easier navigation of Spanish-language sales & logistics
White-glove importing for items like rugs, art, and lighting
Cohesive design direction tailored to your home
At Forrest Glover Design, we specialize in full-service interior design in Punta Mita and coastal Mexico, as well as furniture sourcing tours in Guadalajara.
