Cool Kitchen: Red n’ Retro

Hello, and Happy Tuesday to you! I was away yesterday at a freelance job, which may end up eating up some other days this week, too. But I’m here now, and have another cool kitchen from The Kitchn that I’d like to share.

Matt and Blair’s Fresh Retro Kitchen caught my eye when it was posted back in April. The colour scheme of red, aqua, black and white is pure retro, but looks fresh to the modern eye. The other details have the same classic-but-current vibe; the white goods, gorgeous original sink, and cheerful patterned curtains. The fact that this space is flooded with light is the icing on the cake.

For more photos, Matt and Blair blogged the complete renovation of their house at Tulane Rehab.

Cool Kitchen: Blue and red and white (oh my)

It’s been a while since I shamelessly stole a cool kitchen out from under The Kitchn‘s nose, so let’s rectify that, shall we? Posted on the super-site just yesterday, Tim & Sarah’s Blue and Red Philidelphia Kitchen jumped right out at me, for obvious reasons. People, it’s blue and red.

As much as I love my clean white kitchens, this place just puts a smile on my face. The combo of light blue and dark red isn’t so much “Stars and Stripes” to my eyes as reminiscent of Cath Kidston, queen of retro prints. These colours are perfect for this space’s retro theme, carried through by the vintage-style appliances and bright red accessories. I also love the subtle patterns at play here- see how the mini-tile backsplash interacts with the striped tea towel?

Cool (part of a) Kitchen: Industrial Cheer

I’m not sure if this qualifies as a complete Cool Kitchen as we can’t see the entire room, but I love this photo of Flickr user linsmika‘s kitchen wall. The super-organized setup looks pleasingly industrial, thanks to all the stainless steel and glass storage jars. The touches of red take away any chance of it feeling sterile, and make the whole place seem cheery and bright.

Colour in the kitchen: Red

Red is a natural choice for a kitchen. Symbolizing life and passion, it creates an energetic space, and apparently stimulates the appetite as well. Personally, I find too much red makes me a tad crazy, but I love it for details. Here are some of my favourite red kitchens from around the web.
