What color goes good with Saltillo tile flooring?
Our home has saltillo tile flooring in the kitchen and family room. I LOVE white kitchen cabinets but the burnt orange tile makes my kitchen look like a cheap fast food restaurant.
I'm looking for colors for the cabinets, walls and countertop suggestions. I don't have much of a budget, otherwise i would just tear out the tile completely. I'll probably go for laminate countertops or tile. I plan on adding molding (shaker style) to the cabinet doors and adding new hardware.
I really need cabinet color suggestions and wall color. its a dark kitchen with one tiny window. I was thinking a pale green color or perhaps an off white color for the cabinets and i'm not sure on the walls.
here is a pic of what the looks like:

Cleaned an old Saltillo tile floor and grout. What polish can I use?
Comments (2)Here is a link. It's for a specific company but should give you some guidelines on care and maintenance of your tile. https://glaze-n-seal.com/seal-maintain-saltillo-mexican-tile/...See MoreSaltillo tile floors
Comments (13)I think you can use wood like your ceiling, but I wouldn't use laminate. Get solid wood steps, stained to match your ceiling, and paint the risers your stair trim color. Saltillo tile goes great with wood. Removing the carpet keeps the stairs clean and simple. If you're planning to add a runner though, just put in carpet. It makes no sense to change the stairs to laminate just to put the runner over it....See MoreWhat color furniture goes with gray tile floors/espresso cabinets??
Comments (5)Ooh, I like the Skipping Stone color! Thanks, everyone, for your great ideas! I was thinking a white or eggshell leather sofa/sectional -- my dining table is dark with warm white denim slipcovered chairs -- would that be weird?...See MoreSaltillo tile floors - Does It *Have* to be White Cabinets?
Comments (26)These photos are beautiful and so helpful - thank you! I had come up with a few to show to cabinetmakers, but they were not as nice as these. Thank you for not posting "rustic" cabinets, as the house itself is a contemporary style. I notice that the countertops in the photos are light in color, which does look good and keeps the space bright. I am thinking, alternatively, of black sparkly granite. Light woodgrain cabinets, terra-cotta floors, pale cream walls, black sparkly tops, either no backsplash, or a very understated one. And a rectangular glass chandelier, in a contemporary style, over the island (there are only recessed ceiling lights right now, and I prefer a large single fixture to several pendant lights). That is my vision for now, though I'm open to new ideas....See Morebill_vincent

15 years agoWe have Saltillo floors that we just installed. We have off-white perimeter cabinets and natural cherry island. I'll post a few pictures for you. We pained our walls and grayish-green, wish I could remember the color, it looks very nice with the floors.

15 years agoLove your inspiration photos and the gorgeous saltillo kitchens here! I have a saltillo-lookalike porcelain tile floor. (My floor is probably on the red side with less of the orange/peach tones). I think a creamy white cab color would look gorgeous with the tile. That was something I'd planned to do if I'd stayed in my house. My paint color is Valspar (Lowe's) Epic which reads khaki or earthy green or taupe depending on the light. It's a great warm, interesting neutral. A couple of photos (sorry for the poor quality...they're from the phone). It's an overcast day so little natural light. First shows wall color with floor. Second photo shows wall color with white.

15 years agoWe did saltillo floors in our last home. I hand stained them to be a bit darker and paired them with cream painted cabinets with an espresso glaze. We loved the look and feel. Best of luck!
