Cinqo de Mayo isn’t just a great excuse to break out the blender for some fresh margaritas. Let this festive day also inspire south-of-the-border ideas for your kitchen design. From hand-made Saltillo floor tiles to bright-colored pottery to rustic beams, Mexican and Spanish colonial design elements are almost as popular in American kitchens as tacos are in our cuisine. So go ahead—pile on the bold colors or simply incorporate a touch of earthy texture into your existing design. Check out these fiesta-worthy kitchens and see how each designer incorporated a little (or a lot!) of traditional Mexican elements into their unique designs.
