Add some color into the kitchen with retro and bold-colored appliances

By using retro kitchen appliances and even furniture you give this room a timeless look. It can also be a feature that adds elegance to the overall décor. If you want to go for a 1930s or 1960s look, then you can opt for stainless steel metal cabinets. They were very popular back then and they are also a very practical and functional addition to the kitchen. The cabinets were mainly white but you can add a chic touch to them now by painting them a bold color for example.
