How to Remodel a 1950s Kitchen | eHow

Take time to rethink the layout. If you are just moving into your home, wait a few months before making a decision on the layout. Many 1950s homes had separated spaces that made the kitchen feel small. Think about how your family uses the space and how you can make the kitchen feel more open to the rest of the house.

Reuse what you can. During the remodeling process, you will likely move walls or change the layout of the space. When possible, try to reuse original elements from your 1950s home. Baseboards and other moldings can be reused in the remodeled space. Kitchen cabinets can be cleaned and updated with stain or paint and new hardware.

Install cork flooring. According to Readers Digest, cork floors were installed in kitchens in the 1950s and 1960s. If your kitchen remodel includes new flooring, consider cork. Cork is also an eco-friendly option for green remodels.

Accessorize with 1950s-era appliances. Appliances can make or break a kitchen. Look for 1950s-style appliances that will work well in your kitchen. Many of these appliances will still work, but will need to be clean and/or repaired. Other fun accessories can include vintage toys, artwork or food advertisements.
