Weirdly Bright Refrigerator Colors

Are you one of the characters in Father Knows Best? No? You don’t need to achieve the “1950s aesthetic” by painting your refrigerator firetruck red or vivid turquoise. To make the “retro” style work, all of the walls and furniture must be in the same color scheme. Using a bold color for only your fridge seems out of place. Even if you’re striving for a classic appearance, fluorescent colors are harmful to people’s eyes. You’ll have far better results using a pastel palette, though even that can appear odd if not done correctly.

Noisily Patterned Cabinet Knobs

The coordination of colors and materials is essential when decorating a beautiful kitchen. Patterned knobs and handles accomplish none of these tasks. Unless you select knobs that absolutely match your color scheme, they’ll look noisy and tacky. The worst decision you could make is to give different-colored handles to each and every cabinet. That is not “chic” or “vintage,” but rather a poor design choice. Because knobs are such a minor element, make them tiny and stylish.
