Fabulous 1950s When you think of the 1950s, the classic diner look probably comes to mind. Feature of this period: Colour schemes: Popular colour schemes included a black and white checked tile floor, with bold accents such as cherry red, turquoise and hot pink. Classic materials: The predominate materials for furniture and other finishes were light woods, chrome, vinyl, Formica countertops and Plexiglas. Diner style: Since this period translates well for kitchen design, consider adding banquette seating to your kitchen or a couple of 50s diner style bar stools at your breakfast counter.
