Choosing a brand new fully fitted kitchen can be hard, but if you have definite style you should allow it to flow through your home too, and if that style is retro, then we think that the kitchen is probably the best place to let this out! Retro kitchens are fantastic, an explosion of chic no matter which era you choose, but you will want to get it right, so hopefully our retro kitchen ideas will help!
Kitchen Ideas For Retro Kitchens – How?
- Choose your Era!
- This is so important! Rather than have a mish-mash of retro stuff, which can just seem like a huge clash, choose one era and style your kitchen around that era.
- Style not Dated
- You want to go for retro chic in your new fitted kitchen, you don’t want it to look like the kitchen hasn’t been changed since the 1950s, so keep it retro but with a modern twist, you’re going for style, not a dated old look.
- Choose your Colours
- You have your era, now choose two colours from that era. You can browse the Internet or Pinterest to see what was hot during your era, and choosing two colours and following it through as a theme will make your new fitted kitchen stylish and chic.
- The Actual Kitchen
- This is where we come in, have a chat to us about how you’d like to incorporate your vintage style into your brand new fitted kitchen.
