12 Vintage Kitchen Decor Ideas We Need To Bring Back For Today’s Kitchens

There are so many wonderful elements that come together to make a house feel like home and the kitchen is the heart of it all. The beautifully decorated kitchens of the past were inviting and so charming. Here are 12 kitchen decor ideas we wish would come back with full force.

12) Checkerboard Floors

Is there anything more classic than this kind of flooring? Seems like most kitchens had something like this when we were growing up!

11) Metal Cabinets

They’ve fallen out of fashion now, but the old steel cabinets lasted a long time and came in a huge array of colors.

10) Vintage Wallpaper

Remember when most kitchens had some kind of wallpaper? All those delicate designs in pastels were so lovely.

9) Jadeite Dishes

That soothing green color was so pleasing. Dishes in this style also came in baby blue and apricot, but the green was really the most eye-catching!

8) Flour & Sugar Canisters

We also miss the bread boxes. They made kitchens feel so cozy and there were so many wonderful designs over the years! Seems like nearly every kitchen had some of these woodland canisters back then.

7) Pastel Appliances

There’s nothing prettier than pastel in the kitchen. Once upon a time you could buy everything from appliances to flooring in lovely pastel hues.

6) Old Fashioned Tools

From the rolling pins and meat tenderizers to the percolators we remember so fondly, these items gave a kitchen life!

5) Hoosier Cabinets

These classic cabinets held so much. There’s nothing like the look of an old Hoosier cabinet in the kitchen.

4) Pull-out Cutting Boards

You still find these in today in kitchens that haven’t been remodeled yet. These stowaway prep surfaces are such a great space-saving idea.

3) Colorful Aprons

With so many color and designs the old-fashioned aprons brought a ton of color into the kitchen.

2) Farmhouse Style Sinks

A big sink can help get everything done, but the look of these sinks is what gets us. They’re just timeless.

1) Racetrack Floors

Those fabulous linoleum designs on floors made the kitchen feel so cheery and welcoming!
