1991: All-White Appliances
Although white appliances were popular in the 1980s, they were more popular in the 1990s. Ovens, fridges, stoves, and whites all went white. Magazines also featured several all-white kitchens with tiles and cabinets. The majority of respondents were content with wooden cabinets with basic white counters and walls. Wallpaper and open shelving were uncommon in 1990s kitchens. Complex kitchens of the 1970s and eye-catching equipment of the 1980s were out; neutral was “in.”
1994: The Farmhouse Style
The farmhouse style was popular in the 1990s. This design was inspired by English and French country houses and went well with the trendy light wood cabinetry. Brass and copper cooking equipment, as well as glass china hutches, apron sinks, and cast iron began to appear in home design stores. Kitchens were frequently painted in neutral earth tones like beige and olive green. Backsplashes and floors were still tiled, although they were usually white or a light hue.
