Mediterranean Spanish - Tuscan - French Country Style Kitchens

The Casual Spanish Style Kitchen
There is no mistaking the Spanish influence in this Mediterranean style kitchen. Decorative tiles, cheerful color, tiled vent hood, dark wood cabinets and arched storage niches above the counter work space give authentic Spanish style to this setting. Wooden spoons are stored in earthenware jars and the tiled shelf above the cooktop is ideal for spices and condiments. Faux fruit, displayed in unique containers, compliments the Spanish style kitchen.
In the Tuscan Kitchen Iron Wall Art Creates Architectural Interest and Style


ACCENTS OF SALADO offers a large selection of iron wall art for casual home decorating.

(LEFT) Our casual Tuscan style kitchen is in need of some serious help. The ceiling is 10' high and the space above the tiled arch lacks interest and style.

(RIGHT) With the help of an iron topper placed above the tiled arch, the long expansive space is broken by scrolls of wrought iron. The arch no longer floats in mid air. The topper is the crowning touch to tie the arch and the two large furniture pieces into one attractive unit.

The height and the size of the back splash overwhelms the countertop accessories. The arched iron grille breaks up the large space and compliments both the arched topper above and the iron grille work in the kitchen cabinet doors.

French Country Style Kitchens
The French Country kitchen is designed as the home's gathering place. The lay out is casual and large enough to accommodate several cooks. The kitchen atmosphere is one that finds family and guests at ease and wanting to join in the cooking. Colors are equally comforting with inspiration drawn from nature. Buttery yellows and golds, rich reds, cranberry and burgundy, grass and hunter greens and oceanic blues are often chosen to enhance neutral rusts and creams.

Open shelving is a trademark of French Country style kitchens. Fresh vegetables and fruit, wine, cook ware, serve ware and dinnerware are kept in reach and as a result become decorative accessories.

The French look to the countryside when decorating their country homes. Farm life is often a decorative theme with sheep, cows, pigs and roosters as the subject of figurines, hand painted dinnerware and framed art.

French kitchen cabinetry and furniture can be rustic or designed with ornate carvings, prominent corbels and lavish molding details. Dark woods are often mixed with light-colored woods. French country cabinets may have no doors and are often large pieces of rustic designed furniture. Finishes are worn and French Country kitchen furniture is frequently painted with designs.

Choosing Wall Art for an Old World Look


Fresh artwork will change a room's ambience almost as quickly as a fresh coat of paint. Artwork sets the mood and creates the theme. Consider updating tired old prints with stylish new ones that are complimentary to your old world look.

When creating a casual old world theme, acquire artwork in the subjects of farm life, antiqued portraits of people, European landscapes, architectural columns, ancient statues and iron work, antique copper vessels and vintage earthenware vases and urns.
