Sometimes referred to as Spanish revival kitchens, these spaces are filled with classic interior design elements, warm, rich details, dark wood cabinets, and painted tile work. Here are some of the most important elements of a Spanish-style kitchen.

Flared hood – It is common in Spanish styles to have curves, as seen in arches and scroll patterns. This idea is featured in the kitchen hoods, which are being shaped in flares. Cast stone, sheetrock, and corbels are among the materials used in making these hoods.

Cabinets with ornamentation – this is to present an antique Spanish style with cabinets and furniture constructed mainly from walnut. Its decors include rope as well as beaded trim. There is wood on the hood that connects to the remainder of the cabinetry.

Hand-painted tiles – they bring additional color and style to the backsplash. The colors must pair with the cabinetry.

Oil-rubbed bronze finishing – it makes use of a dark brown color to have a vintage oil-rubbed bronze appearance. It is utilized in the hardware and faucets to create a Spanish-themed kitchen.

Arched cooking alcove – a big cooking alcove makes a good design. It is important to make it large especially since the stove is the heart of any kitchen.

Decorative arches – The Spanish interior design style is known for its dramatic arched windows and doorways that make a big impression.

Exposed wood ceiling beams – it is common for wood beams to be seen in Spanish architectural design throughout the entire house.

Wrought-iron work – in any counter or cabinet inserts, this wrought iron is used to have a Spanish influence in the kitchen space.

Saltillo floor tiles – terracotta tiles are often used as they promote a warm atmosphere.
