Okay, so I’ve always loved the vibrant, warm feel of Mexican design. I decided it was time to bring some of that energy into my own kitchen. I didn’t want a complete overhaul, just some touches here and there to give it that Mexican style.
Getting Started: Colors and Inspiration
First, I spent some time just browsing pictures online. I looked at a ton of Mexican kitchens, trying to figure out what exactly I liked. I noticed a lot of bright, warm colors – reds, oranges, yellows, and blues. I also saw a lot of natural materials, like wood and terracotta.
Adding Pops of Color
I started small. I didn’t want to repaint my whole kitchen, so I focused on accessories. I found some awesome, brightly colored ceramic bowls and plates. I also picked up some woven placemats in those same warm tones. Just those few things made a big difference!
Bringing in the Texture
Next, I wanted to add some texture. I found a really cool, hand-painted terracotta pot for my herbs. It looks amazing on my windowsill. I also got a rustic wooden fruit bowl for the counter. It’s not just pretty; it’s practical too!
Tiles Were The Key!
Then I changed the tiles to mexican style ones, that was amazing, warm and colourful.
The Final Touches
Finally, I added a few decorative items. I found a beautiful, embroidered table runner with traditional Mexican patterns.I also hung up a piece of Mexican folk art I found at a local craft fair.
