Tips for retro kitchens: The style of yesterday is today's!

Fashions are cyclical. Even though we say goodbye to a specific style, we are aware that at some point we will see it again. This happens both in clothing and in home decor, and we can see it with the return of retro kitchens. The vintage aesthetic has returned stronger than ever. With its colors, elegant lines, and that distinctive touch thanks to antique furniture and decorative elements, these kitchens have captivated us. 

This retro style is perfect for all those who consider themselves nostalgic for the past, as well as those who seek to give their kitchen an elegant touch. Because it is undeniable that this type of kitchen has an identity that is hard to match, especially on an aesthetic level.

Essentials you will need if you want a retro kitchen.

Just take a look at social networks and decoration magazines to see how the past is strongly present, especially when it comes to kitchens. There are certain elements that are essential if you want to have a retro kitchen, such as tiles and colored tiles. You will find tiles in all possible colors, even some with a worn appearance, to add character to the room, and the same will happen with the tiles.

Checkerboard floors are a great choice in this regard. Not only in the more traditional colors, such as black and white, but in all those you can imagine. It's your moment if you're looking for a pink, orange or blue kitchen. Although you can also opt for more neutral colors, like beige, and incorporate striking borders on the wall, like those you saw in your grandparents' kitchen with the typical fruits that adorned the walls. The advantage compared to that era is that now you don't have to limit yourself to putting these fruits, since you will find borders with all possible motifs. The difficult part will be choosing one among so many.

Unique furniture and appliances.

Restore the kitchen furniture you keep from your parents or grandparents, or look for new furniture that imitates this particular style. The key is that your furniture does not have simple and straightforward lines, but rather shows in every detail the care with which it has been manufactured. Avoid minimalism and delight your eyes with delicate and unique furniture, creating a space that overflows with personality.

Regarding the choice of appliances, forget neutral colors! At Mellerware, you have options to choose from that will make your kitchen unique. This room is a place you will walk through every day, where you will spend a good part of the home life, so you should choose something you can feel comfortable with. From hand blenders to mixers, all your appliances will have a retro vibe.

Opt for a striking fridge. Our Freezy! model, for example, can be found in both red for the boldest people, and in white for those seeking a more restrained retro style. Refrigerators are the elements that can attract the most attention in a kitchen, so we should not underestimate the aesthetic when deciding on one or the other.

The rest of the appliances are also interesting. Oil-free fryers have come into our lives to change the way we cook, and into our kitchens to give them a distinctive retro air thanks to their designs. Besides being more healthy on a daily basis, they now also allow us to decorate. And there is no home without a kitchen robot right now. The kitchen robot Tasty is available in blue, thus brightening up the countertop space where it is placed.

The importance of household utensils.

The kitchenware will be what truly makes your kitchen stand out, along with the appliances. Even if you've decided to use simple tiles and ceramics, a bit more timeless and discreet, with the kitchenware you'll achieve that eye-catching touch. With a breakfast pack in yellow, for example, you will make all your mornings brighter. This includes a juicer, a kettle, and a toaster, all with classic and colorful lines.

And let's not forget the coffee maker! This will always be on our countertop, the undisputed protagonist of our routines. Let's not fool ourselves, it's not just about how it serves the coffee, but also how it adorns our space. Many people decide to dedicate a whole corner to the coffee area. Here they place the coffee maker, a special shelf for the cups (choose only those you use, and that match your style) and a shelf for the coffee capsules and other additions. You will catch the attention of all your visitors, and have everything much more at hand.

As for the pots, pans, and cutlery, you will also find in the market a range that will match this retro style. With colors like red or blue, your kitchenware will add color not only to your space but also to your life.
