We've gotten a little bolder with color in the kitchen in recent years. There's also a portion of the population that not only loves color, but loves all things with a retro vibe. SMEG, an Italian manufacturer of kitchen appliances, is hoping that its latest product introductions will appeal to this crowd and win over many more fans.
SMEG’s ‘50s Retro Style Line is the choice if you want to add color and a vintage vibe to your kitchen. From pastel blue, to bright orange, to vibrant lime green – the options from this creative brand are endless.
Below, SMEG's new retro refrigerator freezer unit is the focal element in this kitchen that includes SMEG's very contemporary range and hood. Evidence that retro and contemporary can coexist side-by-side.
