You can get a 1940s look without spending a bundle and still be able to fill your kitchen with a collection of Nice. Here are some ideas on how you can get a 1940s look in your kitchen.

Colors

Some popular colors from this period include jadeite and red and white theme. You can find plenty of vintage accents to fill your kitchen for one of these two colors. Why not start a collection of jadeite that you can display in open cabinets and use your dishwasher? You can place the vintage jazz with wooden handle gadgets that are painted jadite and cream. If you go for the red and white theme, there are plenty of red vintage kitchen gadgets and linens vintage there can really perk up the place. Another advantage of red and white theme is that you can also add a fruit theme on top of it like apples or strawberries.

I would leave the walls a neutral color - white of off white so it does not affect all your great accessories. checkerboard linoleum would be perfect. some color coordinated throw rugs can add a little color to the ground and pull together.

Lighting

Simple lighting is best. You can buy vintage ceiling lights and wall if you want a really authentic look. Of course, you will ensure you have enough task lighting for some modern lights will be worked in. I suggest you make them as subtle as possible so they do not look for him.

Window Treatments

Use vintage curtains for your windows. You can buy them with complementary colors and patterns great. If you do not make curtains vintage dish towels or tablecloths - you can buy tablecloths that have stains in 1 area pretty cheaply and then just use the right place for curtains! If you go to a theme of red and white 1940's kitchen decor, you can choose either cherry or apple as a secondary theme and looking for curtains with these fruits in the motif.

Furniture

glass knobs will really brighten up your furniture and cabinets and add an authentic vintage. If you have painted cabinets in white or cream, try the glass buttons green. Your table and chairs should be a chrome vintage style dinette (you can buy these new and you can get the vintage as well), or a wooden table top with vintage enamel. If you do not find one of these, you can buy any type table and hide it with a vintage tablecloth.

Accessories

Accessories for 1940-style kitchens can be found in the old centers as well as purchased new. Soften the room by hanging vintage tablecloths and tea around. Chrome appliances go well with this look as do the retro style appliances, you can buy new these days. And do not forget the bread box vintage boxes - all kitchens had on the counter and you can choose from chrome or enamel in cream and green or red and white to complement your look.
