Bring Color Back to the Future With Vintage Appliance Appeal

The kitchen may be one of the most difficult rooms of a home to design. Balancing functionality and practicality with style and individuality can be difficult. Unfortunately, often the neutral tones in kitchens come off as flavorless and bland, and appliances can appear more utilitarian than stylish. Keeping in mind the practical needs of a kitchen, where can you really branch out and explore your options?

Although paint, counter tops, tile, and back splash are all great places to find some artistic freedom, you could also delve into the world of unique kitchen appliances. Though there may not seem like there is much variance in the realm of kitchen appliances, there are a few companies out there that aren’t just going for the stainless steel, white, or black look.

Whatever happened to the colorful custom kitchens of decades past? Yes, the years of pastel kitchens are a vintage memory, but there was something about the nostalgic feel of those kitchens that made it feel a little bit more like home.

SMEG appliances has brought this comforting nostalgic feeling back in their line of 50s Retro Style Appliances. Combining sleek lines with eye popping colors and an undeniable 50s aesthetic, their line of appliances bring a unique, eye catching, and definitive style to any kitchen.

The 50s retro style refrigerators,  possibly their most popular item, are a classic addition to any kitchen that needs a little revamping.

But why stop at refrigerators? The line contains everything from refrigerators and freezers to dishwashers and washing machines. Smaller appliances such as toasters, stand mixers, kettles, and blenders can add a small taste of 50s nostalgia.  Stainless steel may be a sleek and elegant touch, but don’t be afraid of adding a little vintage color into your household.
