The 1920’s were full of white kitchens, a lot of detail, and fun patterns. A lot of the kitchens had glass cabinet doors, as well. Adding texture on your kitchen doors can create the vintage feel without much effort. This particular kitchen has those touches, and tops it off with black, white and red accents to really keep the retro feel going.
In the 1950s, there were no wasted steps in terms of color. One of the more popular colors for the 50’s were pastels, such as teals, yellows, and pinks. Sometimes paired with bright appliances. This is a more, vintage farmhouse spin on the popular 1950’s color. Adding a bright color and with more modern appliances can create a great, lived-in, feel without compromising on convenience.
As the 1960’s and 1970’s rolled around, wood was a fan favorite. Generally the cabinets were flat, and plain. This kitchen takes the warmth of a kitchen from this era but uses shaker style doors to keep it up to date.
