Retro Kitchen Decorating Ideas
While there are many styles of kitchen décor, one of the most popular kitchen decorating ideas today is to decorate with the a retro style.
If you are going for a great mid century retro style like that of the 1960's or 70's, you want to stick with colors from that era like mod blues, oranges and browns. When you decide on your color palette, pick up some paint cards with your colors on them and carry them with you when you are shopping for furniture and accessories so that you will know everything will be a perfect match.
In the kitchen, you want to add vintage knick nacks, vintage dish towels and even vintage tables and chairs to really get a retro look. Luckily, you can still find items from this era at a reasonable price and, if you don't want to buy vintage stuff, there are a lot of new items being made in the retro style.
While kitchen decorating ideas often focus on the accessories, the flooring, windows and walls are also important to the design. For your windows, you might try using some vintage curtains right from the era you are decorating for. For wall décor, you can add atomic clocks and vintage artwork or try putting in some shelves and display a collection of retro items like salt and pepper shakers or maybe even old radios or cookie jars.
Lighting is an additional critical factor in any interior design. kitchens are better off with overhead lighting as well as task lighting. Look for lighting that is vintage with a funky look or in vintage styles and colors to compliment the retro kitchen look. Don't forget that you do a lot of work in the kitchen for preparing meals, so you want your lighting to be practical as well as decorative.
While you might not think about it much, flooring plays a critical role in your room style so adding area rugs to your retro home decorating theme kitchen can make the room look fantastic. What you should consider for your fun and funky look is shag or retro style rugs in retro colors - aqua, avacado, orange, brown etc.
The decorative accessories give your room an an interesting ambiance so think about enhancing your kitchen with things like a mod donut phone from the '70's, mid century kitchenware in those great colors, Dansk wooden accents, and op art pieces.
These kitchen decorating ideas can help you get a retro look in your kitchen and make it the coolest room in the house!
