Martha Stewart’s 1980s Powder Blue Kitchen Is the Design Blueprint for the Modern Maximalist Movement – It's Never Felt More Inspiring

Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart has been shaping the way we think about home design for decades, and even her earliest interiors continue to offer a wealth of inspiration. The queen of domestic arts clearly knows a thing or two about timeless design, and her 1980s kitchen is a perfect example of how a well-considered space can stand the test of time.

In a throwback snapshot shared on Instagram, Martha is pictured making pancakes in her vintage kitchen – but it wasn’t her recipe that caught our attention. Instead, it was the powder blue kitchen tiles that wrapped the countertop and oven. While the kitchen undeniably reflects its era, it also feels surprisingly current, serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of interior trends and the lasting appeal of confident color.
