A retro style kitchen continues to be one of the top design styles when it comes to home decorating. From the 50’s to the 60’s retro style decorating has gotten its name through a time when colors were used in abundance and nearly anything was acceptable when it came to home décor. Glidden paint colors can be combined to create a number of retro palettes that are perfect for use in the kitchen of any retro style room of the home. A retro kitchen starts with a few coats of the right Glidden paint!
Glidden Paint Colors for a Retro Style Kitchen: The Yellow Palette: Yellows were the talk of the time in an era when military usage kept green from becoming a common household item for years. Glidden paint colors such as Sunflower, Canary Song, and Early Morning Sun are perfect for adding a retro style touch to the kitchen. These bright yellow Glidden interior paint colors all coordinate with one another and are perfect for use in the kitchen.
Glidden Paint Colors for a Retro Style Kitchen: The Green Palette: While green was not a common theme in the retro era due to its high use for military items for the war, there were certain greens that could be seen through this era. Bold greens can be used to give a kitchen a retro style makeover and when paired with the bright yellows of the Glidden palette the use of green makes perfect sense. Spring Leaf will coordinate with any of the above listed yellow paint colors from Glidden.
Glidden Paint Colors for a Retro Style Kitchen: The Blue Palette: Blue Cloud is a soft retro style blue that is great for use in the kitchen. Paired with a darker tone from the Glidden interior paint color line such as True Turquoise these two Glidden paint colors work perfectly for a retro style. As an accent, a bold blue such as Cool Cobalt will give the kitchen a truly retro feel that is straight out of the past!
Glidden Paint Colors for a Retro Style Kitchen: Oranges and Reds: You can’t mistake a retro kitchen that is marked with those famous retro cherry curtains that were so common in the era. Glidden paint colors such as Red Delicious and Cranberry Zing will both coordinate perfectly with those retro style cherry prints as will a softer color such as Red Geranium. For an orange touch that will get the guests talking, try Glidden’s Orange Slice or Fresh Tangerines. Both of these Glidden interior paint colors will add some spice to the retro style kitchen!
Glidden Paint Colors for a Retro Style Kitchen: Neutrals: A retro kitchen doesn’t have to be a bold splash of color. You can always leave the main color to the accents that are throughout the room. For a retro style kitchen that features white cherry prints throughout you can try a neutral shade from the Glidden interior paint color line such as Oyster Shell. This neutral shade will give the kitchen a clean feel with a touch of antique retro style. Another great neutral shade from the Glidden paint color line is Swiss Coffee which is a more muted white tone with just a hint of cream perfect for a retro style kitchen.
