Common questions
Can I make my kitchen mid-century without replacing cabinets?
Yes. Paint lower cabinets a bold color, swap hardware to brass knobs, add a geometric backsplash, and change light fixtures. These updates create MCM character without a full remodel.
What backsplash suits a mid-century kitchen?
Hexagonal, diamond, or fish-scale tiles in white, sage, or a bold accent color. Geometric patterns are essential to mid-century kitchens. Avoid subway tile — it reads more modern or farmhouse.
Is terrazzo too retro for a kitchen floor?
Terrazzo is making a major comeback. Modern terrazzo tiles have cleaner patterns and refined color palettes that feel contemporary while honoring MCM roots. The execution plan includes current terrazzo options.
