Mid-century modern and retro are my favorite design trends for kitchens (and yes, I know they are technically not exactly the same, but I always lump them together in my head). So today I'm sharing here two mood boards with inspiration - one in pastel green shades and another in earth tones:
No, I'm not remodeling our kitchen right now (though some days I wish I was), and since we live in an apartment, a large part of the whole large windows open kitchen concept would probably be lost anyway.
But...it's always nice to have ideas, and I especially love to organize them (and share them too).
Although green is not my favorite color at all, I do think it looks lovely in a kitchen, especially in pastel shades. This, added to the light and the pretty flowers and plants added, makes the kitchen look like an extension of a garden in spring. I would totally love to cook there, wouldn't you?
And honestly, earth tones work just as great. They remind me a lot of my grandparents' house in the country - and who knows, maybe one day I'll get to remodel that kitchen.
In case you're interested in learning more about mid-century modern kitchen design, I find the book below a great resource - worth going through it just for the photos of beautiful kitchens included:

I love that you put both options side by side — it really shows how much mood a color choice sets in a kitchen. I am firmly on team earth tones, that warm nostalgic feel reminds me of my own grandparents' kitchen too. But the pastel green boards are so pretty and fresh, especially paired with the light wood. The retro vibe runs through both in such a fun way. Those mood boards make me want to start pinning ideas for our place!
