Kitchens are the heart of the home, and this is especially true in Spain. When walking into the home of a Spanish family you would more than likely see: decorative tiles, cheerful colors, dark wood cabinetry and sometimes tiled vent hoods. Each home generally has a sort of combination of traditional Mexican decorative art and a type of representation of San Pasqual. He is the patron saint of cooks and kitchens. Color is a large part of the Mexican culture, and it only makes sense that it would largely be incorporated into their homes and kitchens. The colors of Mexico are derived from pigments of their surroundings like: minerals, vegetables, insects and seashells. These colors create warm yellow ochre, indigo blues, reds and icy purples. If you want to acquire the Spanish influenced home try mixing these colors together.
- Terra Cotta Orange with Mediterranean Blue
- Sunny Yellow with Cobalt Blue
- Creamy White with Brick Red
- Pink, Orange and Blue
