3. Polka Dots & Gingham Linens
Cabinets are playing an extremely important role in creating a retro kitchen because it can make or break your theme. Therefore, you will really want to give it some extra thought when designing your dream retro kitchen.
Having said that, if you really want to commit to the boldness of a retro kitchen, do not hesitate to decide on pastel colored cabinets and take your vision full-throttle.
5. Funky Hardware
It might be worth it to take some time to switch out your hardware to something that matches the vintage style because it will help complete your transformation of your retro kitchen. Remember, it’s the little details that matter.
For example, stainless steel lights are best alternatives when choosing the fixtures for your retro kitchen. You can also add a retro clock to your wall and an antique timer to your stove if you are looking to step back in time.
