A Beautiful Retro-Modern Kitchen

If you hanker after the look of years gone by, but are addicted to the sleek elegance of contemporary styles, then this stunning retro-modern kitchen is the perfect inspiration for you.

Notice how the layering of different textured surfaces, from rich, characterful wood to sleek marble worktops to smooth vinyl for the cupboard doors, all set off by brushed stainless steel sinkware, oven and stools. This effect can easily be duplicated by carefully combining wooden furniture with more modern materials, allowing you to create a highly varied look that will never get old.

The key to this look is also evident in the shelves – the more clutter that appears on them, the less the beautiful surfaces will stand out, so it's very important for this look that you have properly thought out your kitchen storage, as nothing ruins a style like clutter.

So if you want to recreate this look, then carefully pick the textures that you want, and then ensure that you have the storage that you need to maintain the cool minimalist look.
