Create a Mexican Kitchen with Tile

April 6, 2014

Make your kitchen feel authentically Mexican by incorporating Talavera Tile into it! Author, Masako Takahashi states, "The Mexican kitchen is a showcase for tiles. Tiles cover the floors, countertops, walls, and occasionally the ceilings of colonial-era kitchens, which were often huge. During fiestas, banquets were served to hundreds of people."

Takahashi continues, "Mexican tiles, combined with other materials, can be used to define a focal point, make patterned borders, or "wallpaper" a kitchen with personality. An exuberant Mexican tile design can transform a lifeless kitchen into a dynamic visually satisfying work space."

You can energize your kitchen with classic Blue & White Tile patterns of Mexico. Love color? Why not try a mixture of Patterned Tiles alternated with solid tile designs. The simple and special tile patterns form new geometric designs when combined, for example the corners of each tile creating a new middle piece. Solid Color Talavera Tiles are great for separating your patterns with blocks and patches of color. Border tiles are ideal around edges like your kitchen counter tops.
