Cement Tile Yellow Kitchen

Vivid yellow kitchen cabinets partner with a yellow, green and white geometric cement tile floor.

An early 20th century house in Barcelona has yellow kitchen cabinets and retains its original floor covering in many areas, including the kitchen. Hydraulic tiles, also known as cement tiles, are traditionally cast in a mold using a mixture of tinted cement and powdered marble.  The bold coloring goes throughout the thick tiles, so it’s no surprise that the multi-color pattern still looks marvelous a century later. Such bursts of colors are found in every room, and the kitchen is no exception.  Moroccan stucco walls are a soft backdrop for the yellow kitchen cabinets.  Over-sized stainless pulls and a roll-out stainless worktable (far left) make up the baking and storage side of the kitchen.

While the yellow kitchen cabinets were present at purchase, the stainless steel cabinets were new additions by the current homeowners, architect and jewelry expert Eva Palao and husband, Jordi Rabat.  Those create a nice contrast to the splashy yellow.  Their run ends against a black magnetic paint wall that conceals the laundry area.  Cement tiles are not only decorative, but durable – worthy of consideration in your next project. And yellow always makes for an original kitchen look.
