Invite retro style into your kitchen

Recent years in interior design trends are definitely marked by minimalism combined with modernity. However, nothing lasts forever, and here the retro style returns to the salons with its gentle, warm colors, which will give any interior a cozy character. Thus, the style of rooms, including kitchens, is changing, bringing a slightly traditional approach to their thresholds.

Vintage style - characteristics 

The retro style arrangements are inspired by the past. Not only furniture design in this style is a tribute to interior design trends from many decades ago. There are retro refrigerators, stoves and ovens on the market. There will also be kitchen utensils: coffee machines and enameled teapots. Also, decorations in the form of dried herbs, fabrics made from natural, precious materials or embroidered fabrics deserve special attention.

Retro style kitchen - accessories 

Therefore, a retro-style kitchen should be cozy and functional at the same time. Everyone should feel at home and pleasant in it. To achieve this effect, you can use retro techniques and embellishments. What's more, they often pair perfectly with modern kitchen elements to form an extravagant whole.

Retro kitchen design - choose black and white! 

Retro style kitchen can be arranged in different ways. One of them is the use of color contrast. You can combine, for example, black and white. White will reign on the walls, and black can be successfully used when choosing furniture and accessories. Black cabinets - preferably with wooden, natural countertops - will look decent against a white background.

A decorative countertop cannot be complete without old decorations. Retro style kitchen accessories are available in many varieties. In this case, the KAMILLE Retro manual coffee grinder, made from a combination of cast iron and wood, can be a charming detail. It will perfectly fit into the kitchen space, complementing white cups or ceramic mugs.

Retro kitchen accessories don't have to be just decoration! They can also perform the function for which they were created. An example that fits perfectly into a contrasting space is the Forchetto Retro enameled teapot, available in cream and black. The coating covering it not only refers to the retro style, but also makes the device durable and solid.

Glass is also a must-have for a retro kitchen. White-painted wooden sideboards with glass fronts are to be filled with a variety of cups and glass jars. All kinds of natural baskets or boxes (for example, from the Pigmejka brand) are also great for storing small items.

Or bright colors? 

Childhood times are usually associated with bright, warm colors. Instead of contrast, you can choose a solid color. In retro style, white, beige or delicate brown are best suited. The composition of the components also includes natural, wooden accessories. Chairs and a table made of this material will remind you of the old days. To impress even more, decorate them with embroidered or embroidered tablecloths and cotton tablecloths.

Add some charm to the kitchen with retro additions in the form of beautifully designed cups and mugs, such as ceramic mugs decorated with floral motifs. The flower pattern can also be reproduced on other details, for example, on pots. A retro-style enamel pot is perfect for this role. It not only looks great, but is also extremely functional.

The kitchen is a place full of smells - they come from cooked foods, herbs, cooked and canned food. STALMAN glass jars with a clip will take care of their proper storage.

Retro kitchen design 

Retro style can be reflected in different ways. Sometimes it is enough to get the necessary jewelry from the bottom of the cabinet. In other cases, purchases will be required - in a store or in an antique market. However, as retro kitchen accessories gain popularity, they are now widely available - including in online stores.

In addition to household appliances and accessories, the kitchen should also have decorations that will improve the mood of the household and create a pleasant atmosphere. It is best to choose from elements made from natural materials. There should be a woven tablecloth on the table, and lace curtains on the windows. Graceful porcelain or ceramic dishes will add sophisticated elegance. On the kitchen shelves you can put colorful containers for storing herbs, spices, cereals, flour and sugar.

If you want a harmonious kitchen layout, opt for retro containers such as the TYPHOON Vintage kitchen set in a beautiful cream color. Holds as many as three drawers: for coffee, tea and sugar.

Those with a sweet tooth will also appreciate the Vintage Copper biscuit container with a satin finish. For lovers of floristry, a set of flower containers TADAR Vintage has been created, in which products can be safely stored. Thanks to these details, the kitchen space will take on a whole new dimension!
