If you\u2019re a vintage lover, it makes sense that vintage would find its way into multiple areas of your life: your clothing, your style, your car\u2026 even your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no better room in your home to incorporate vintage themes than your kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

A retro kitchen – complete with vintage kitchen decor – is the stuff vintage lovers\u2019 dreams are made of. From the kitschy diner-like decor of the 50\u2019s to retro kitchen appliances to bakeware to vintage aprons, there are so many opportunities to incorporate a retro vibe in the most trafficked room of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what are the elements you need to build a vintage kitchen? What retro kitchen decor do you need to complete the vintage look? What kinds of items should you be <\/span>scouring estate sales<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>online auctions<\/span><\/a> for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ve got you covered. Here\u2019s everything you need to complete the vintage kitchen of your dreams:<\/span><\/p>\n

Retro Kitchen Appliances<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first step to building the retro kitchen of your dreams is finding the right appliances. There\u2019s no room for stainless steel and high-tech gadgets in a retro kitchen – a vintage kitchen is all about classic appliances that are just as quirky and visually interesting as they are functional (and if you can\u2019t like without your Keurig, at least hide it in the cabinet).<\/span><\/p>\n

The key characteristic of retro kitchen appliances? Color. Originally, most kitchen appliances were a standard white, but <\/span>the 1950\u2019s saw a major introduction of color into the kitchen appliance world<\/span><\/a>, with colors like Canary Yellow and Cadet Blue popping up in kitchens across the country. The color trend continued in future decades, with additions like Copperton and Turquoise Green in the 1960\u2019s and Poppy Red and Avocado in the 1970\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

The colored appliance trend was still popular in the 1980\u2019s, but started to die down later in the decade and move back towards standard white. Today, most appliances are either white or standard steel, so if you want to build a truly vintage kitchen, it\u2019s all about color in your appliances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s be realistic – as much as you want your appliances to look vintage, you want them to function properly, so in this case, you might want to buy a new appliance styled to look vintage (trying to get a stove from the 1950\u2019s to bake at the right temperature sounds like more hassle than it\u2019s worth).<\/span><\/p>\n
