The Retro Kitchen Look Can be Funny

There seems to be no way to have enough funny stuff in the kitchen. Somehow that room just lends itself to humor. One of the funniest things to do for a retro kitchen is to make use of humorous wall signs from that era of the 1950's.

Some times, it's the fun of a diner look with their humorous wall signs. I get a real kick of those signs in diners that said some thing like: Any unattended children will be fed caffeine. OK, I've seen that sign, but just can't find it anymore. But, there are others.

The look of the old diner signs make great wall decor for your retro kitchen. Fun ways to add little accents that make a big difference.

When you make use of accents for your retro kitchen theme, you add the little things. Not the big things. And certainly not the costly things. I like that a few well-placed accents can be all that's needed to take your otherwise not-retro kitchen into a retro decor theme.

For example, using a humorous retro wall sign as the focal point, you can place a small shelf just below it. I like the kinds of shelves that have pegs or hooks just below. Set 2 retro looking items, like a diner sugar bowl and a set of 1950's salt and pepper shakers on either side of the shelf. Then hang one or 2 of your retro aprons from the hooks.

That's a simple arrangement that makes a retro decor focus. The humorous wall sign will be a great addition to your kitchen. And the total look with bring a vertical accent to your decor. It's easy, not expensive and a fun look for the retro kitchen.
