Retro is in, and 1950s kitchen design has become the ‘it’ style in this largely ephemeral world of bright ideas. The huge appetite for high-end technology may remind you of well-placed, well-heeled 21st-century existence, but the nostalgic echo with which this much-celebrated kitchen design resonates has to be experienced to be believed. Even poetic eloquence cannot pay a brilliant tribute to his exotic nature.

A watershed, in every way

Not many can disagree that the 1950s were a turning point in every sense of the word. Rock and roll instilled a sense of excitement among teenagers, and couch potatoes easily surrendered to the hypnotic power of television. These years were the true milestones of urbanity and modernity.

The values ​​of success and prosperity that this time period espoused also defined everything else, including kitchen design. Open floor plans, new appliances, Formica countertops, vinyl tablecloths and furniture covers, and breath-taking subtle hues took center stage, superbly backed by bark cloth, Tupperware plates, bars, and grills.

A cauldron of fabulous memories

A kitchen design that exudes that mesmerizing 1950s flavor is sure to spark some absolutely wonderful childhood memories. Here’s how you, too, can get carried away with this blast from the past:

• There is a dazzling selection of kitchen appliances that have their roots in the 1950s but are still extremely technologically advanced. Make sure to take some of them home.
• Replica coca cola machines, public telephones and radios will add that unmistakable touch of class to the decoration.
• Be sure to weave your way through flea markets and thrift stores in an attempt to bring the enduring magic of 1950s kitchen cabinets to space.
• The cans, cutlery and bread boxes also add immense charm.
• A brand new Formica countertop will put a spin on the saying “old is gold.”
