Retro Style Kitchen
The kitchen is a room in which we spend a lot of time so it is important to make it a cosy yet functional place. A retro style kitchen, or vintage style kitchen, is a very popular decorating choice at the moment. Adding vintage items to your existing kitchen décor is a great way of doing this if you are on a budget. Retro kitchen accessories come in many different styles and time periods. Then you can change the wall colour, curtains or blinds, kitchen accessories, furniture and flooring as you go.
Retro Wall Colours
You might like to use vintage wall tiles or vintage colour combinations. Red and white, cream and green or pink and blue are all popular retro kitchen colour themes. Even gold with green or orange can be effective if you want to go for a retro 70s kitchen theme.
Retro Curtains
Vintage curtains look great in a retro style kitchen. You can normally find these on Ebay or, if not, you can cut up some vintage tablecloths or dishtowels and use these to make curtains.
You can get a new kitchen look by adding vintage kitchen accessories to your existing kitchen. Dishware and tablecloths which match your vintage style work well, as do canisters in matching colours. Vintage plates and dish towels work well too.
Using Wall Space
You can hang some of your vintage finds on the kitchen walls or display them on shelves. It looks better to group objects with different heights together.
You can hang items on the wall in a geometric pattern, trying it out on the floor first to check it looks good.
It is easier than you might have thought to get a great looking vintage kitchen. A good eye for retro accessories is all it takes to get your kitchen looking good.
