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.
