Features of retro interior

A retro kitchen can be recognized by its 19th-century-style kitchen appliances. Alternatively, hide modern “units” behind the cabinet fronts.

In addition, you will need artificially aged furniture and a large amount of textile decor.

Use at least three shades in the interior, and choose glass, ceramics and wood for decoration.

Accessories and decor

To emphasize the kitchen interior's belonging to the era of the last century, you cannot do without vintage items.

If the area of your “food block” allows, try to find and install an antique chest here – it can take on the role of a coffee table.

The antique effect can also be achieved using flower pots that look like wooden boxes.

A massive wooden table, antique utensils, and framed photographs hanging on the walls are welcome.

Finally, you can use alarm clocks, cuckoo clocks and woven floor rugs as decoration.
