1961: The Reintroduction Of Wood
Although hardwood furniture was still fashionable in the early 1950s, it didn’t make a comeback in kitchens until the 1960s. Kitchen cabinets and stools were frequently made of dark wood. Even appliances began to transition from chrome and stainless steel to wood. Another kitchen addition that became popular in the 1960s was the pegboard. These days, you don’t see many of them in kitchens.

1966: Bold, Funky Wall Art
Although wallpaper appeared in kitchens on occasion during the twentieth century, its popularity increased in the 1960s. Geometric designs, like in the 1950s, were popular, but so were florals, paisley, rainbows, and leaves. Modern kitchens are structured in a U form, which not only provides more cabinet space but also allows for a wider range of wall décor. During this decade, built-in fans and refrigerators became increasingly widespread, providing additional floor space and freedom in working across the kitchen.
