DESIGN DESIGN DESIGN Changes with times, but this does not necessarily mean that your retro devices are completely out of style. In fact, in recent years, the popularity increased – from the refrigerator to microwave ovens and coffee machines.

“They are nostalgic and fun,” says Designer Pamela O’Brien. “They can also bring some color to the kitchen, because in general, most kitchens will be in a fairly narrow range of colors and finish.”

So how can you add a retro apparatus to your kitchen while you still stay elegant? Our experts say it is feasible, but with some warnings to be aware.

Why are they coming back to stay

O’Brien says retro apparatus were not technically “inside”, despite being considered contemporary at one point. However, they are definitely not “out” when it comes to design, thanks to the feeling of nostalgia and whims that bring in the kitchen.

“Retro apparatus are ‘in the’ for certain reasons, as if you want to add that little vibration vibration if you really want a colorful home,” says O’Brien. “If you go to one of the core types of decor-like-lickers or lemoncore – all these things would make you retro devices perfect for you.”

Darlene Molnar interior designer agrees that these vintage devices did not go out of style due to nostalgia.

“I have to say the retro apparatus will never go out of style,” she says. “They are classic and oh so fun. It is not exactly a surprise to retro crawl into popularity, on the heels of sugar trends and everything they continue in a simpler time.”

How the Retro style makes the way

Molnar and O’Brien agree that retro devices are in style, as long as they are stylized in the right way. Molnar recommends use in your kitchen saving and not overloading space with them.

“I don’t like each other in the room in the Retro or the same pop color.” She says. “But one interesting retro piece in otherwise monotone cuisine is a game changer.”

O’Brien advises to watch the general vibe of your kitchen first. For example, if more aesthetically modern, retro apparatus can feel out of place.

“If you have a very, very traditional, beautiful kitchen, it might look a little silly to have a small miniature refrigerator from the 1950s in the corner in the Robinski Jay blue, just would kick out the whole aesthetics,” she says. “It’s more for a whim and fun, if that’s your style.”

O’Brien adds that many homeowners have decided to use in secondary cooking areas or sculpts.

“I recently dealt with a very fun vintage-looking refrigerator and a powder color in a small secondary kitchen,” she says. “The miniature fridge and fun color was a great emphasis.”
