Going Retro with Your Kitchen Appliances

Article Category: Lifestyle

Author Name: Lawrence Reaves

As the saying goes, "everything old is new again." While some design trends for kitchens are sleek and contemporary with clean lines and refined colors, retro kitchen design is gaining in popularity. Retro kitchen designs are helping to revive the nostalgic styles of the past.

The popular television shows from the 1950s can serve as a starting point for retro kitchen design. Lucy's kitchen on the "I Love Lucy" show is one that is often copied in retro design. If you're looking to redesign or update your kitchen, you can add a timeless style and elegance by using retro kitchen cabinets that can help to create a homey and inviting atmosphere in the kitchen.

Like Lucy's the kitchens of the 1930s to the 1960s often featured stainless steel metal cabinets. Most often these were white, but sometimes they were spray painted to the desired color. These were popular because of the fear of disease spread by vermin that lead to the 1918 flu pandemic that killed almost half a million people in the United States. Cleanliness was an important health concern.

With today's methods of food storage, refrigeration and pest control, health concerns are no longer the primary concern in kitchen design. Still, metal cabinets, as well as vintage cabinets made from real wood instead of particle board can mean a means of achieving that retro look.

These cabinets can be combined with retro look appliances in eye popping colors to give homes that 1940s or 1950s look. Sort of like Grandma's kitchen, but with an edge.

Some savvy manufacturers are tapping into the retro revival by creating large and small retro kitchen appliances. So, it can be easy to go retro with refrigerators choosing such colors as sea foam green, pink or light blue. Retro designs also can be found in standard white or black. Get really creative and match your stainless steel retro kitchen cabinets to your appliances.

Retro designs are available in other kitchen appliances such as blenders, hand mixers, toasters, waffle makers, coffee makers and more. By comparison, these designs make today's black white and steel appliances seem a little cold.

The bottom line is that whether you want to pop in a retro accent just for kicks or whether you want to go completely retro in your kitchen redesign, you won't have any trouble finding just the right products. Along with your appliances, you can complete the look with vintage fans, clocks and furniture.

The thought of going retro and leaving behind the basic stainless steel or black and white appliances can be a little daunting. You have to be committed. But if that's your dream, then go for it.

Start with the color scheme you want. Once you've done that, you can search for retro appliances and find a dealer that can provide what you need in the color of your choice. Start with your larger appliances as your base and go from there. But if your budget won't allow all new, old-looking, appliances can be spray painted to match your color scheme.

In going retro, you can pick the era you want to emphasize, whether that's the bright and colorful post-war era of the 1940s or the atomic era of the 1950s.

In the post-war 1940s, kitchens had linoleum floors, painted cabinets and use bold primary colors. Color choices were Navy blue, cherry red, sunny yellow and Kelly green. You may not be able to find appliances in those colors, but the basic stainless steel and chrome of today's models can be a backdrop for your retro design. The 1950s kitchen was more likely to be turquoise, aqua, pale pink or yellow.

Whether it's a total kitchen makeover for that retro feel, or whether you just want one or two retro look items to give a certain pop to your kitchen design, retro appliances are available through many retailers as well as through specialty shops on the internet.
