Retro

For people of a particular taste, a retro kitchen design is a great way to introduce flair, colour and a real sense of individuality to the most important room in the house.

But how do you go about creating a retro kitchen that really stands out from the crowd? Well, here are some retro kitchen ideas to help you with your design.

Retro Fridge

No retro kitchen is complete without a fridge that looks like its been taken right out of a 50s American diner. Smeg are the kings of the retro fridge and have some really slick designs and colours to choose from. However, after seeing the success Smeg have had with their line of retro cold appliances, other manufacturers have latched onto the idea so you won't be short of choices for your retro fridge.

Glass Block Wall

Some people consider the glass block wall tacky and outdated but for retro-design lovers, nothing could be better for a kitchen design. Aside from how it looks, a glass block wall also introduces light into the kitchen, which can create an impression of space. This is particularly advantageous for those working on a small kitchen design.

Black & White Tiled Floor

Harking back once more to 1950s America, the black and white lino floor is an excellent addition to any retro kitchen design. However, this creates a strong visual impact so only go for this if you're unflinching in your desire to create the ultimate retro kitchen.

Neon Kitchen Sign

Probably the loudest statement of retro intent, a neon sign is a brave addition to any room. However, if chosen carefully and positioned in the perfect position, a neon sign can make for an eye-catching feature without looking tacky.
