Give your kitchen the retro look

If you’re looking to give your kitchen an easy update, we’d suggest rolling back the years to create a retro-inspired space filled with colourful appliances and nostalgic nods. We’re not suggesting you do a whole renovation, but bold accessories like checkerboard rugs, tones of cherry red furniture, pastel pink cookware and glossy green refrigerators are a design dream.

If you feel intimidated about the idea of designing your space around a specific time period, there are plenty of ways to combine retro pieces with modern ones to create a room that feels both vintage and modern. From adding an iconic mint green Smeg to your kitchen, installing a mirrored splashback behind the oven or hanging a pendant light that has elements of retro style without overwhelming your space.  

Here, we’ve rounded up our best retro kitchen buys to add a touch of vintage charm to your room, available to buy now.
