Adding Coca-Cola Stuff to Your Retro Kitchen

Retro kitchens can always benefit from at least a few Coca-Cola items. In the 1950's Coke was a popular product and the diner looks happily advertized the soda all over the place. Plenty of wall signs, advertising items and even the functional diner plates.

Coca-Cola and the Retro kitchen seem to go easily hand in hand. The bold red that Coke uses for it's iconic symbol is a color very popular in the retro look. So the decorating items can go very well with your color scheme.

But, if you have chosen one of the other great mid-century colors, like pink, aqua blue, yellow, even orange, you can still add Coca-Cola memorabilia for a strong accent color. Plenty of the advertising items from that period didn't feature that bold red. Instead, they used their name and an iconic image of a happy 1950's housewife.

You don't have to go digging through old attics and basements or scour through antique malls or flea markets. Retro Coca-Cola stuff is being reproduced currently. Easy to get, no cleaning or refurbishing needed and could be lots less expensive for you.

So go ahead and add Coca-Cola stuff to your retro kitchen. The look is fun and the effect is definitely that great mid-century classic.
