We've got some good news — old is officially in; at least, it is for kitchens, but in the right context. We're not saying your decade-old fridge is suddenly the height of chic (keep dreaming), we're talking about period homes with traditional kitchens — think high ceilings, original features, and big, range ovens. As gorgeous as they are, though, they're not always the easiest to pull off, and color is certainly a key factor.
Your typical list of the best kitchen colors may not necessarily apply in these circumstances. Here, the focus is on authenticity and elegance; anything too modern or 'on-trend' and you run the risk of your period kitchen looking disjointed and awkward.
