If you like an older or antique look and you’re planning on remodeling your kitchen, you need to come up with some great ideas. There are a lot of different ways that you can build a modern kitchen that will have the look and feel of something from generations past. Our team regularly works with clients who love the older look, and we would be honored to work with you as well. Read on to get some great ideas on how to really make your kitchen stand out for years to come.
Kitchen Sink
The kitchen sink is one great place to start that can really set the tone for your classic or antique looking kitchen. In generations past there were many iconic sink designs that are very functional, and quite beautiful. Looking at sink designs from the past is easy online, and you can have them custom made to your exact specifications. Due to the popularity of older looking kitchens, there are many of these types of sinks that you can buy without even having to have it custom ordered.
Kitchen Faucet
Classic kitchen faucets are another great way to get the look you will love. Depending on what era you love the most, there are plenty of options to choose from for your kitchen sink. Finding authentic kitchen faucets from ages past isn’t nearly as difficult as you might imagine. In addition, just because the faucet looks old doesn’t mean that it won’t function properly. Many faucet designers have antique looking options that still boast all the modern functionalities that you need.
Retro Appliances
Finding appliances with a retro look is another great way to give your kitchen that old-fashioned look and feel. You can often find someone who will refurbish an old appliance to make it work like new again while still maintaining the desired look. You can also order some appliances that are brand new, but have the classic look to them. There are retro appliances for everything ranging from stoves and refrigerators down to toasters and more.
Classic Colors & Patterns
Many generations or timeframes in the past are known for their use of specific patterns or colors in their kitchens. If you really want to mimic an old fashioned kitchen, take some time to find the era that you love and see what types of color schemes and patterns were popular. From there, we can give your entire kitchen the exact look you want it to have.
The Little Extras
There are many other little things that you can add into your kitchen to get the retro look you love. For example, adding a breadbox onto the countertop is something that will look great. These breadboxes were very popular for a long time, though they aren’t used much today. Whether you buy new versions of these items, or you look at antique shops for authentic items, they will really help to make your kitchen look just the way you want it.
