Create Retro Kitchen Theme with Accessories

It's all about the little things. Great saying, isn't it? But what does that mean when we are talking about decorating a kitchen in a retro theme? It means that you don't need to spend hours trying to find just the right wallpaper. You don't need to strip the kitchen floor and lay new tiles. It means you can redecorate inexpensively and easily. Let's talk about how.

No matter what your kitchen color scheme or style, you can create a retro theme. You simply pick out accessories. It's those accessories that can create your theme easily.

Add some wall decor that reminds you of being in a 1950's diner. Set your table with a retro set of placemats. Add a retro look pitcher or teapot as part of the centerpiece. Surround it with a retro salt and pepper shaker set, maybe a chrome napkin holder. Create a vignette in a corner of your counter space.

These are just some of the kinds of accessories that will create your theme. Keep thinking in terms of the accent pieces you want to have in your kitchen. A small wall shelf where a retro clock hangs above it and several retro mugs sit on the shelf makes a fun little accent focal point.

It really is all about the little things to create your theme. Of course, if you really want to, and can afford it, make major changes. But, you don't have to. You can create that retro look in your kitchen with the addition of accessories within your theme.

Instead of spending the money to retile your kitchen floor, spend it on accessories in a retro look. Pick a corner of your kitchen and add a retro step stool. Simple. Really.
